​When targeting barbel, feeders play a crucial role in the strategy. They offer a unique way of presenting feed right next to the hookbait and create a concentrated feeding spot that quickly attracts the attention of barbel. With a wide range of options, it is essential to choose the right feeder basket for optimum results.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FEEDER
The choice of feeding basket depends very much on the specific conditions of the water you are fishing in. In flowing water, where barbel are mainly found, dense baskets are often the best option. These release the feed gradually, adjusted to the speed of the current, so the feed stays longer in the basket and presents close to the hookbait. Open baskets, with more and larger openings, are more suitable for still water but wash out too quickly in flowing water.
INNOVATION IN FEED BASKETS
The latest feed basket innovations offer unique features that make them particularly effective for barbel fishing. For example, some models offer the possibility of placing the feed on top, which can be very effective in certain conditions, such as when using method feeder techniques.
