Feeder cages

Feeder cages are the central element among all the feeder fishing gear, for placing the groundbait and attracting fish — so central that the technique took its name: feeder fishing!

Feeders come in different categories, shapes and sizes depending on the fishing you’re targeting:
‑ Round feeder for stillwater
‑ Square feeder for current or slopes
‑ Open or closed plastic feeder to hold maggots longer
‑ Long‑distance feeder with weight at its end, etc.

Of course, beyond the shape, you’ll need to choose the weight; remember that rod power is expressed with the weight of the empty feeder — for example, a 30 g feeder will be perfect for a 20‑40 g rod. There are also several sizes (diameters) at the same weight; for example, for precise winter fishing it’s recommended to choose the smallest possible size to avoid over‑feeding fish, whereas in peak season on rivers the largest diameter feeder is advised.

The most recommended brands for this category are feeder Guru, feeder Preston and feeder Matrix.

To finish your line, also check out the feeder rigs and feeder nylons.
