Choosing the correct swimfeeder

Swim feeders are useful tools for trout fishing that allow anglers to effectively present bait (maggots) and attract fish to a specific location. Swim feeders are designed to hold bait or other attractants while releasing it slowly into the water to entice trout. They consist of a cage-like container with multiple holes that allows water to flow through while releasing the bait slowly.


When considering swim feeders for trout fishing, one important factor to consider is the size and weight of the feeder. The size of the swim feeder should be appropriate for the fishing conditions and the target trout species. Smaller swim feeders are suitable for fishing in rivers or streams with moderate currents, while larger feeders are better for stillwaters or areas with stronger currents. The weight of the swim feeder is also important to ensure it sinks to the desired depth and stays in place. Consider the weight that is suitable for the fishing location and the amount of groundbait or attractant you plan to use.


Another consideration is the design and construction of the swim feeder. Swim feeders are typically made from materials such as plastic or metal wire mesh. Plastic feeders are lightweight and durable, making them suitable for various fishing conditions. Elasticated lids are good for relocating the lids quickly while rebaiting.


It's also important to consider the mesh size and configuration of the swim feeder. The mesh size should be appropriate for the bait or attractant you plan to use. Finer meshes are suitable for smaller baits such as maggots, while larger meshes can accommodate larger particles or worms. Additionally, consider the number and positioning of the holes or openings in the swim feeder. The distribution of the holes can affect the dispersal bait, so it's important to choose a swim feeder that suits your desired bait presentation strategy. #Tip - electricians tape can be used to partially cover some holes in your feeder to slow down the release of maggots.


Before making a purchase, it's beneficial to research and gather information on specific swim feeders that are popular and effective for trout fishing. Read reviews, talk to local anglers or consult with our staff to gain insights into the most suitable options. Experimenting with different swim feeder sizes, designs and configurations can also be valuable to find the swim feeder that works best for your fishing style and the trout species you are targeting.


By considering the size, weight, design and mesh size related to swim feeders, you can make an informed decision and choose the right swim feeder that enhances your trout fishing experience. Properly using a swim feeder can help attract trout to your fishing spot and increase your chances of a successful catch.
