There are several types of fishing, and each person chooses a suitable one for a particular area, based on their personal preferences. Also, each lover of this lesson has his own secrets or skills that he can use to obtain a successful result. It will be useful for beginners to find out what a device of feeder gear is. Consider this issue in this article.
Fishing tackle
The word "feeder" came from the English language, literally it means "feeder, feeder."
This device is a tackle for bottom fishing. Also, this word is used to name the very method of hunting fish. The device of the
feeder gear was invented by the Englishman Richard Walker, who created a prototype of specialized fishing rods for bottom fishing. The device consisted of a two-
knee plug rod. It was made of bamboo, its length was 3 m.
Gradually, the device of the feeder gear was modified, and now such devices are made of high-quality materials (high-modulus carbon fiber and others). This fishing rig is lightweight and easy to assemble. The device consists of a fishing rod, fishing line and equipment, it also includes hooks, clasps, anti-twist, weights and other details.
Types of fishing gear
The feeder gear device has parameters such as working length, assembled size, number of vertices and their sensitivity, as well as class. Depending on the latest characteristics, the rods are divided into the following types:
- light - the weight of such elements is up to 40 g; they are used on small rivers and lakes;
- medium (60 g) and heavy (80 g) - these devices are universal, and they are recommended for fishing in large calm water bodies;
- extra heavy (weight above 100 g) - this device is used on rivers with a strong, fast flow with a coverage of more than 100 m in width.
Types of Snap
Depending on the form of weaving, one can distinguish the following types of tools for fishing:
- Accessories with anti-twist device.
- Paternoster - if we consider how to knit this type of feeder gear, it is recommended to use a fishing line (monophile) with a diameter of about 0.25 mm. A loop is made from this material (length about 20 cm), a feeder needs to be fixed on it. A leash is attached to one end of this line, and the other is connected to the main gear.
- Symmetrical loop - the feeder is not used here, a loop is made for the leash, after 8 cm a fixing knot is made, a weight is put on the fishing line, and the ends are tightened one more time, then fixed to the main tackle.
- Asymmetrical loop - this type of equipment is performed similarly to the previous one, only one of the ends needs to be made 20 cm longer.
Useful Tips
The following information may be useful for riverine hunters:
- The coil for the feeder installation must have a gear ratio large enough.
- For this type of gear it is better to use a wicker thin line.
- In order to know how to configure the feeder gear, this information will be useful. In order to “hook” the fish in time, it is necessary to set the fishing line in a position where the tension is almost as high as possible (while the feeder is at rest), but even with a slight movement, this position can be violated, as a result of which the “victim” gets on the hook.
- After casting the bottom equipment, it is necessary to set the feeder's whip in a position in which it deviates by about 20 cm from the direct state.
