Bottom tackle, like feeder, can be made from spinning, but such tackle will be inferior in quality to the classic feeder.
The main disadvantages of spinning donkeys are as follows:
- A spinning rod does not have such a sensitive tip as a feeder rod, so you can’t count on very productive fishing.
- The spinning rod test does not allow you to cast loads weighing about 100g over long distances.
This is important if fishing is carried out in the current and it is necessary to use heavy feeders.
- The feeder rod is quite long compared to spinning rods, which makes it possible to make long casts.
As a rule, such tackle is used at distances up to 50 m with feeders weighing up to 50 g.
The device of the bottom fishing rod with a feeder
If a feeder is provided in the tackle, then this is definitely a feeder equipment that has two versions:
- If you are going to be catching big fish, then an asymmetric inline loop or “method” is better.
- When hunting for small fish, the paternoster will be the best, since such equipment is quite sensitive.
Alternatively, the elementary use of a feeder with a hooked leash attached to it is possible, but this option will be somewhat worse than the well-proven feeder equipment.
Do-it-yourself production, necessary materials
- The spinning rod is as long as possible and preferably stronger.
- Inertialess reel capable of holding at least 50 m of line.
- Directly fishing line, with a diameter of 0,2-0,3 mm. Suitable for both monofilament and wicker.
- A feeder weighing up to 50 g of the “cell” or “method” type, and possibly a spring.
- A twist, quite sharp and preferably imported, somewhere around the 6th number.
The main stages of assembling a bottom fishing rod
- A reel is attached to the spinning rod.
- A line should be wound on the reel.
- A fishing line is threaded through all the rings.
- The next step is knitting a snap. For beginners, you can choose paternoster.
- Attaching a leader to a rig that has a smaller diameter than the main line. Recently, as leashes, fluorocarbon, which is not visible in the water, is used for fish.
How to fish with a feeder
When using the feeder in the bottom tackle, you should follow some rules.
To begin with, you should make 10-20 casts one after another in order to feed the place, when the feeder reaches the bottom, you should make sure that the feed spills out of the feeder. This happens after a strong undercut. The bait should have such a consistency that when it comes into contact with water, it remains in the feeder.
Throwing the feeder in the same place
In order for the bait to work, it should be cast in the same place and it is very simple to do this. You need to make the first cast and fix the fishing line by the clip, and mark a landmark on the opposite bank. Subsequent casts are made according to the landmark, and the fixed fishing line will not allow you to miss. Baiting in one place, without having a big cast, will allow you to collect fish in one place, which will make it possible to actively fish.
Is it worth using any bite indicator
Most fishermen use bells, which allows them to hear bites at a great distance. With the advent of feeder rods, there is no need to use it, since the bite is transmitted to the tip of the rod, and it effectively signals. In addition, the bell is a fairly necessary accessory and many anglers refuse it. Moreover, such a sound distracts other fishermen who are fishing in the immediate vicinity.
Bottom fishing, requiring constant monitoring of the availability of food in the feeder. The state of the feeder is checked every 5-10 minutes, which makes it impossible to relax, regardless of whether there was a bite or not.
What kind of fish can be caught on such a tackle?
Despite the fact that the bottom rod from spinning is somewhat inferior in its characteristics to the classic feeder, it can be used to catch completely different fish, such as bream, silver bream, crucian carp, roach, perch, carp, etc. The only thing that needs to be ensured for effective fishing is to choose the right bait and properly lure the place. Unfortunately, the whole outcome of fishing depends on it. But even this is not enough. It is also very important to be able to find a promising place where the fish gathers and stands. For an experienced angler, this is not difficult, especially if the reservoir or river is familiar. In such cases, every amateur fisherman, where there are pits, shallows, rifts, etc. For a novice bottom or feeder this problem can be difficult to solve and it can take many years to thoroughly study the bottom topography. The most important thing is not to stop and not give up.
And yet it is worth noting that feeder tackle from a spinning rod is more of a budget option for a beginner amateur angler. In order to understand the difference between a real feeder and a handicraft one, you need to purchase a feeder rod, which costs a lot. Despite this, an experienced angler will be able to catch well and tackle from a spinning rod. The beauty is that spinning can be quickly converted for its immediate purpose. Therefore, many anglers follow this path, using a spinning rod, based on the conditions of fishing.
