Currently, bottom tackle with a feeder is very popular among fishermen. It has many modifications and is applicable in almost any fishing conditions. As a rule, donkeys catch peaceful fish, but if bait is used as bait, then perch, pike, and pike perch will willingly go for it. Of course, you can buy ready-made tackle in any store, but it can not be compared with the one made by yourself. After all, the finished donka is a universal tackle, but it will not work always and especially not everywhere. But the installation of bottom gear with a feeder should fully comply with the conditions of the upcoming fishing.
One of the most attractive properties of a donka is that it is often caught quite weighty, and sometimes just trophy specimens. You can consider this tackle on the example of
bream fishing. Firstly, it can immediately be noted that it is more attractive for large fish, you rarely catch such individuals on a
fishing rod . Secondly, bottom tackle with a feeder simplifies the feeding process. The aromatic mixture is delivered directly to the place of fishing and therefore you can be sure that there will be a bite. Thirdly, there is the opportunity to catch the depths, where in the hot summer time a large bream takes refuge. Donka is ideal for fishing in pits. But this is not all the positive aspects of fishing.
So,
bottom tackle with a feeder shows itself perfectly even in adverse weather conditions. It is difficult to disagree with the fact that this tackle is much easier and more effective to catch even in windy weather, when the float is practically useless. But no matter what modification the donka was, in its installation there is always a sinker and a hook, and recently a feeder has also been added. It serves to attract fish. Bottom tackle feeders also have many variations. They can be made of metal or silicone, can be open and closed, with small or, conversely, large holes. Often, they perform, in addition to the main function, additional functions, for example, serve as a sinker.
Bottom tackle with a feeder is selected based on the type of reservoir. First, the severity of the course is taken into account, and secondly, the presence of snag and underwater vegetation. For fishing on rivers with a strong current, it is best to install a stronger sinker on the tackle. Do not forget that in such reservoirs only a heavy rod and a powerful reel are used. On lakes and ponds with a silty bottom, a sinker is used extremely rarely. It is important to consider its shape. It is known from experience that the best option is a round sinker. But it’s best to take a silicone feeder. When fighting, it pops up and greatly facilitates the whole process.
It is necessary to take into account the diameter of the holes of the used coils. In strong currents, closed-type gear with small holes is suitable, this contributes to a longer process of washing out the bait mixture. But in a standing pond, only open feeders will be effective. In general, it only seems that modern bottom tackle is very easy to use. But this is far from the case. Its effectiveness and subtlety increase with the experience of the fisherman himself.
