Feeder bottom fishing is a simple but effective fishing technique. The advantage is the possibility of continuous improvement, at the initial stages of development, a lot of experience is not needed. To increase the effectiveness, feeder equipment for fishing in the current is required - hooks, baits, spinning. You need practice in mounting nozzles, choosing a knitting method - a helicopter and two knots, various types of loops.

Rig selection basics
The basic element for fishing is spinning. Its characteristics and length depend on fishing conditions. Traditionally, feeder fishing on a river is done from the shore or from a boat. If you plan to cast long distances up to 100 m from the coastline, choose a rod up to 4.2 m. For fishing from a boat, you need a model smaller, up to 3 m, as mobility and the possibility of a quick change of place increase.
To select the optimal gear for the feeder, you need to familiarize yourself with the following recommendations:
- Spinning. The recommended test indicator for the upper part is 80-120 grams. Such models are optimal for long-distance casts.
- Coil. The feeder in the current can experience large peak loads, the coil model is moderate-power, inertialess. The gear ratio is from 4.8:1 to 5:1. The size depends on the length of the fishing line and can range from 2500 to 4000. To save money, you can purchase a standard carp reel or its jig counterpart.
- Fishing line. For fishing in the current, braided or monofilament fishing line is used. The thickness of the latter varies from 0.2 to 0.25 mm. The basic requirements for braided line are maximum strength, the stretch coefficient is reduced.
- Cargo feeders. It is recommended to use tackle with an open feeder. Weight up to 120 grams. The larger the mass, the faster the feeder will reach the bottom. This is true for rivers with strong currents. Spiral feeders for feeders can cause the bait to quickly disperse in the water, which is not good when fishing in the current.
- Hooks. The shape is standard, the size affects the mass of potential prey. For large individuals, hooks from #7 to #10 are preferred. Medium and small fish will bite well on #10 and #14.
Do-it-yourself similar feeder gear is made, the appropriate components are selected for each type of fish. The optimal installation methods are also determined, the best of which is a helicopter and two knots. But besides him there are others, no less effective.
Lure Mounting Methods
The effectiveness of fishing depends on the type of knitting. Correct installation of the feeder equipment is only possible after selecting the basic components. It is better to start with simple options - a symmetrical or asymmetrical knot. It is also recommended for beginners to practice inline installation for the feeder. To prevent tangling of the fishing line, an anti-twist is mounted - a Y-shaped plastic insert.
Popular feeder montages and recommendations for their formation:
- The installation of the helicopter and two knots is made of fluorocarbon fishing line 1 m long and 0.2 mm in diameter. The thread must be folded in half, at a distance of 15 cm makes the first knot. The next one needs to be formed after 1 cm. A feeder is installed in the loop of the helicopter and 2 knots. Hooks are mounted at the ends of the fishing line. Such a scheme is optimal for a strong current.
- Symmetric and asymmetrical loop. Both sides for attaching the hook have the same or different lengths. Be sure to make feeder equipment with an anti-twist, since the likelihood of knot formation is high. It is better to use medium-sized feeders. Advantage - when installing feeder gear, you do not need much experience.
- Inlight is relevant for flat or method feeders. According to the type of execution, it can be with or without fixation of the fishing line. In the second case, during the bite, the fish will not experience the resistance of the braid, which will reduce the likelihood of breaking off the hook.
For beginners, a helicopter feeder rig or symmetrical (asymmetric) loops is recommended. Over time, the necessary skills will appear, and certain types of gear installation will be preferred.
Why do we need fidergams
When catching large individuals, there is a large load on the top of the spinning rod. With sharp jerks, it can deform or break. This is true when using a braid with a minimum stretch value. To compensate, the standard equipment for bream fishing includes feedergum.
This is a shock absorber made of very dense rubber. It partially extinguishes the load, reduces the number of jerks. Recommendations for the use of feedergams:
- fastened at the base of the fishing line, in front of the leash;
- maximum insertion length - up to 15 cm;
- fasteners "loop-loop" for quick dismantling and replacement;
- used only for catching large fish.
A standard configuration feeder device usually does not have this component. But it is desirable to have it in the set. If a big fish pecks, you can always quickly install a shock absorber.
Choice of baits and baits
For a feeder for bream or other similar fish, you need to choose the right bait. It is placed in the feeder, the requirements are density, aroma and taste that attracts fish. The traditional recipe is semolina, cooked in the form of dense porridge. When fishing, it can be cut into slices and placed in baits.
For flavor when fishing with a feeder on a current, you can add the following ingredients to the bait:
- Vanillin. A synthetic cheap analogue is recommended, since it is the smell of this component that attracts bream.
- Fennel. Used for catching trophy specimens. Advantages - a small portion is required to create the aroma, the ingredient has proven itself well during summer fishing.
- Cinnamon. It goes well with all types of bait.
You can use canned corn. To increase the likelihood of a good catch, experienced fishermen use baits of animal origin - dung worm, bloodworm, maggot. Often they try the effectiveness of a combination with traditional cereals.
fishing technique
Not everyone knows how to catch bream on a feeder in a fast current, what gear to use for this. A fishing place is pre-equipped, bait is thrown. It is important that it does not spread over a large area of the reservoir. It is recommended to use cereals and food compositions similar in density.
Recommendations for fishing on the current:
- Influence of the current. The weight of the bait should be optimal - it should not be blown to the side due to fast water.
- Gradual increase in the weight of the feeder. This can be done with weights.
- Using thin line to reduce windage.
- The optimal shape of the feeder is triangular, with small hooks at the bottom.
When fishing for a large fish, it should not be immediately raised above the surface of the reservoir. She behaves much calmer in the water, so you need to gradually bring her to the shore.
