Floating feeding feeders for catching on lakes
Floating feeders have long been successfulare used in foreign countries for catching peaceful fish, including large carp. They are suitable only for reservoirs with stagnant water and are an alternative to float tackle.
The main advantage over the float is obvious -A floating feeder creates a spot of turbidity when it hits the water, which attracts fish and makes them approach the bait faster. In addition, the bait holds the fish in one place, which significantly increases the likelihood of a bite. Floating feeder feeders are used on summer days with little or no wind, when even large fish stay closer to the surface and it is impossible to catch them with bottom gear, even using a long leash.
Buying or manufacturing?
Not all fishing shops have themsale of floating feeders for the feeder. Therefore, most fishermen will have to make them themselves. The easiest way is to remake standard feeders by replacing the weight with a float. Metal ones will better resist the wind and fly further due to their high weight. Plastic ones do not enter the water as noisily. Therefore, it is better to have both options with you. There are many ways to remake store-bought feeders. The most primitive is to remove the weight and blow polyurethane foam into the upper part of the feeder. Instead of foam, you can use polystyrene foam or wooden plugs.
The main thing is that the feeder has positive buoyancy, but is 50-70% in the water.
