The main subtleties of fishing on a feeder for beginner anglers
Fishing rod selection
Length
Feeder rods differ in structure and functionality from other species. The first thing you should pay attention to is the length of the device. Depending on the characteristics of fishing, it ranges from 1.8 to 4.2 meters. So, if you fish from a boat or in the bushes, it is advisable to use short gear. Another thing is if the fishing takes place in a clean area, and long-range casting is necessary - then you need to take a fishing rod with a length of 3.6-3.9 meters.
Build
The construction of the rod allows the device to bend under the influence of weight (fighting fish, the severity of the feeder). There are feeders with fast and slow action. A fast action rod bends near the top (starting from two-thirds of the length of the spod itself). Slow action makes it possible to bend from the middle of the rod. It is advisable to choose a feeder for beginners with a quick formation, since in this case it is easier to control the fish when fighting.
Test
Depending on the working load on the rod, several types of feeder are distinguished: easy, medium, heavy, exstra heavy. The working load of the feeder with bait, respectively, is 20-30, 30-60, 60-100, over 100 grams. Beginner feeder fishing is more comfortable with medium-class rods.
For each rod, in addition, there are several interchangeable tips with different stiffness, for different fishing conditions.
Fishing line or cord?
The feeder is a very sensitive snap. Its task is to signal even the most delicate bites of fish. Therefore, fishing on a feeder for beginners should be simplified as much as possible. For the first time, it is advisable to purchase a special feeder line, as it is much cheaper than braids and easier to use. By the way, the braid is not designed for all types of rods, as in cheap versions it cuts rings. Therefore, if a novice loader of feeder fishing has acquired inexpensive tackle and braid, he will soon be disappointed, since the rod will become unusable, and the cord itself will become shabby.
Feeding trough and its types
There are a large number of feeders for feeder fishing. Before using them, you should determine the conditions: on the course or not, the casting distance, which food will be used. It is preferable to use rectangular feeders on the flow, rather heavy, since the conical and round current blows. The weight of the feeder directly affects the casting range. It is advisable to complete the feeder for beginners with medium-sized feeders (30-60 grams).
There are devices for both plant and animal baits. Depending on the fishing methods, one or another is chosen.
Accessories, leashes, hooks
At the moment, for lovers of feeder fishing, there are a significant number of snap options (symmetrical loop, asymmetric loop). Tip: Choose an option that is easier to use for you. In the store you can buy ready-made equipment. For the first time - a great solution.
As for leashes and hooks, the starter feeder should be equipped depending on what kind of fish you hunt.
