- riverbed turns;
- the presence of snags in the water.
It is in such places, according to experienced fishermen, that bream mostly stands in flocks. Depending on the season, a small migration of individuals is possible, and in hot weather, mounting on bream in the course with food is used more at night.
To catch bream on a ring or by other methods with a feeder, it is necessary to prepare high-quality lure, which would be close in color to the bottom soil. To do this, a small amount of clay or sand from a reservoir is often added to the finished mixture and mixed thoroughly.
Purpose and principle of operation of the feeder
The use of a feeder for fishing has been used for a long time; this object of fishing has almost not changed its appearance over the entire period of its existence. Some improvements were made, the principle of operation remained the same. The feeder for spinning with bait should be selected according to certain parameters, its main task is to deliver food to a certain place on the reservoir. After all, good places for catching trophies are not always located near the coast.
The formation of gear involves the attachment of leashes with hooks, on which the catch will be seized. The principle of operation of feeders is simple:
- the product is qualitatively attached to the main fishing line;
- stuffed with a sufficient amount of porridge;
- after entering the water, the contents of the feeder at the bottom will gradually be washed out, attracting the inhabitants of the reservoir with the smell and taste;
- the fish begins to feed, swallows the baited hooks and a notch occurs.
It remains only to withdraw the catch and remove it from the hook.
Feeders for bream fishing are used differently, the choice is influenced by many factors and the personal preferences of the angler. An experienced comrade will help to understand a wide variety, from whom it is worth asking for advice to a beginner.
Varieties of feeders
When forming tackle for bream with a feeder from the shore or from a boat, it is easy for a beginner to get confused, each specialized store can offer a sufficient number of different feeders. The choice is not easy to make, you need to know some secrets.
In order for the porridge for fishing for bream to be delivered to a precisely established place, it is necessary to learn how to select the feeders correctly. Among the many varieties, consider the most common types and places where they are successfully used.
Spiral
They use such a feeder for catching bream in a closed reservoir, where water movement is minimal. This type is more suitable for catching lake fish, crucians and medium-sized carps. But some fishermen like this particular option, especially since they make a product for bream with their own hands for a short time.
To make a spiral feeder yourself, it is enough to have a piece of strong wire, pliers and a little ingenuity.
A product of this type provides for the formation of a tooling of a deaf type, in order to make a sliding type in the middle of the turns, it is necessary to mark a hollow tube of small diameter.
Donka on a bream with a spiral feeder is not suitable for the current, it will simply be demolished from the casting site. Frequent recasting of tackle can scare the fish, as a result, you can be left without a catch at all.
Framework
This type of feeder is more common, the most famous option is the “method”. In fact, the frame version is an improved version of the spiral ones, the main difference is the location of the plastic plates along the axis. Fishing on the feeder method is carried out to a greater extent in closed reservoirs or in sections of the river with a small current.
Bream is being caught on method feeders, carp and carp will also be successful.
Latticed
This is an excellent view of the feeder on the current, the weight of the soldered load is sufficient, so the product itself lies perfectly on the bottom even with a strong current. The lattice version is considered a classic for tackle on bream in the current, they have been used for many years. On the Volga, a snack for bream is always equipped with a lattice option.

- triangular;
- rectangular;
- square;
- cylindrical;
- bullet.
An important parameter when choosing a feeder of this type is the material from which the product was made. A metal woven mesh is considered not the best option, but sheet metal with notches is ideal for bream for catching even large individuals on the river.
There are masters. who make their own products. Women’s hair curlers are taken as the basis, then everyone uses their own tactics. In most cases, the product is simply tied to the already existing ears.
Lattice feeders are independently used for blind mounting, the use of additional materials, such as anti-twist, allows you to make the installation sliding and attach several leashes.
open and closed type
All of the above feeders are divided into closed and open, they are used depending on the place of fishing.
The closed type is designed for fishing in waters with a strong current, where lure is washed out quickly. The closed product will not allow water to quickly take away the porridge when casting, the food will be washed out gradually, enticing the bream to try the bait closer.
The open type is used in stagnant water, this includes spiral and lattice types. Bait from them will be washed out gradually only in closed reservoirs, the river will take away the porridge very quickly.
Most feeding troughs are of a closed type, however, the distance between the ribs is sufficient so that the porridge is freely washed out even in still water. The bottom of such products is missing.
For ring fishing, slightly different products are used. Installation provides for the presence of a metal ring and a grid with a small point as a feeder.
Bait for feeders

Features of mounting feeders
Tackle for bream using a feeder is different, the conditions for fishing and the methods used are important.
Feeder tackle
Equipment for catching bream on the feeder will always be catchy if assembled correctly. As a rule, such installation is usually deaf, it can be done in different ways. Most often, the feeder for bream is collected by the following methods:
- helicopter and two knots;
- symmetrical loop;
- asymmetric loop;
- paternoster.
It is advisable to look at each of the types on your own in order to understand all the subtleties of the procedure.
What leash is better to put when collecting tackle? The main indicator will be the main line, the leader line is chosen an order of magnitude thinner. This will help to lose only the hook when hooking the tackle, the rest of the installation can be saved.
Bottom tackle
Not everyone knows how to make a donkey with a feeder. Before you properly assemble the tackle, you need to decide from where the fishing will be carried out. Tackle from a boat is collected in almost the same way as for fishing from the shore, only the rod used will differ.
Bream is often caught on a ring from a watercraft; the collected tackle will be more reliable than a purchased analogue with your own hands. A sliding montage is often made from the coastline, so it will be easier to spot a cautious bream.
Feeder fishing technique
For fishing with a ring or with another type of feeder, it is important to follow the technique of fishing. The main points are:
- feeding is thrown in one place;
- when casting, the rod must be vertical relative to the reservoir;
- as soon as the feeder goes into the water, the form is sent to the stand, while not forgetting to loosen the friction clutch.
Having done everything, it remains to wait for the bite, for this they use bells, a float for sagging, and in the dark, the whip is equipped with a firefly.
Fishing is slightly different in terms of where the water area is fished from.
From the shore
To catch bream from the coastline, feeder rods, pickers are used, even a float rod with a feeder is suitable. All steps are carried out exactly as described above, only the tension of the fishing line is made such that at the slightest movement of the feeder, a bite can be seen.
On the course
The feeder for fishing on the current is taken heavier, at least 80-100 g, casting occurs in the same way, only the bite is looked at by the float for sagging or directly at the tip. Casting is done in the same way, only the washing out of the feed should be checked more often.
From the boat
It is better to offer food to bream from a boat using the fishing ring method, it will be much easier to catch bream this way. To do this, they make tackle with their own hands, which they carefully lower next to the boat and wait for bites.
A do-it-yourself feeder feeder will help when catching bream in closed water bodies, more purchased options are used on the river, but some craftsmen manage to produce such an element of equipment at home.
