Feeders are English fishing rods. Such fishing tackle is used for fishing with a sinker and a hook with bait on the eyeliner. The fishing rod itself is installed by fishermen on a special stand to monitor the bite. Pickers belong to the same type. There are some differences between them. But more on that later.

Feeder rods: selection features

To choose the right rod for feeder fishing, you need to pay attention to the main characteristics of the product. < / p>

Material of construction

Graphite rod Feeder has the highest price ... Its main advantage is its light weight with the ability to withstand high loads.
Composite feeder rods are not so expensive, but weigh more. They are also capable of withstanding a lot of weight, but are not resistant to mechanical damage.
Fiberglass are inexpensive options that are highly durable and resistant to wear. They are heavier and much stiffer than rods made of other materials.

Classes and action

Experienced anglers choose a spinning rod according to the test, depending on the weight of the bait and the size of the prey they want to catch. The classification of the feeder rods depends on the blank test. Main types:

Picker - ultra light: up to 30 g;
Light: up to 60 g;
Medium: 60-100 g; < / li>
Heavy: 100-120 g;
Extra heavy: from 120 g

The heavier the bait, the farther it will be cast.

For a beginner, the medium action option is suitable - a feeder rod bending to the middle, softening the jerks of large fish. For fast ones, the rod bends at the very top, for slow ones - along its entire length. In the first case, it is convenient to catch nimble, careful fish, in the second - heavy, aggressive specimens.

Design and equipment of blanks

Choose from telescopic, three-piece, multi-piece feeder rod models. The latter are more versatile in use, it is more convenient to store and transport them, since they are compactly folded. But due to the large number of knees, they are less resistant to wear.

Feeder and picker rods: how are they different

Both options are for English gear. The difference between them is small. A feeder rod involves the use of a weight with a feeder, which is first clogged with lure. After casting, the bait is washed out and begins to attract the fish. Since such a model is weighty, it is a good option for fishing at a great distance from the coast, catching large bottom fish. Not suitable for small specimens: a heavy load scares away such species.

Picker rods imply the use of a regular lead, which is made of lead. As a rule, this kind of rig is much lighter. It is suitable for catching smaller fish. Complementary feeding is carried out by manually throwing or using a slingshot. Since the lead is lighter on these models than on feeder rods, it scares the fish less, which contributes to a faster bite, even in shallow water. This option is suitable for beginners - it is lighter, more convenient to handle, but not suitable for windy weather due to the large weakening of the line tension. Such a fishing rod should be used in a place that is not very far from the coast.
