Best feeder troughs in 2024

It's no secret that fishing for men is one of the best types of recreation. The amazing thing is that even the winter cold does not prevent the stronger sex from going fishing. There are many ways to make your fishing more efficient.

Today we will talk about a feeder and feeders for it.

What is a feeder?

This is a "donka" with a special load-feeder. Outwardly, such a tackle can be completely different. The bait is placed inside the load, gradually washed out, eaten by the fish and spreads along the bottom. Anglers say something like a spot of complementary food forms. However, new methods of fishing are emerging, thanks to which there is no need to create trails that attract fish, which saves time and makes fishing even more interesting.

Types of feeders

• heavy - designed for spring water, where the current reaches a high speed, such tackle with a sinker weighs about 250 grams;
• sliding (spirals) - used mainly for catching crucian carp in backwaters, ponds, pits;
• semi-closed - used when fishing on lowland rivers, with a slight current;
• closed - a solid "cage", which is suitable for strong currents, you can also quickly make a half-closed feeder from them, removing only one wall.

Below is a ranking of the best feeders for a feeder rod.
