Choosing a braided line for the feeder. Recommendations from our fishing shop

The diameter of the braid for the feeder - which one to choose?

One of the most important criteria to consider when choosing a braided line is its diameter, which, in turn, must correspond to the conditions and method of fishing. Knowing the conditions of the reservoir and the approximate size of the fish living there, you can choose the most harmonious tackle with a cord of the corresponding diameter. The breaking load directly depends on the diameter of the cord, which is usually indicated in libres (this is 450 grams in our opinion). The more delicate the tackle, the thinner the braid should be used.

Here is a list, which will be easier to navigate:

• Light picker rod can be completed with braid with a breaking load of about 8-10 lb, provided that that fishing is carried out at short distances, with feeders weighing up to 50 grams.
• Light class feeder rod works well with 11-12 lb braids.
• For a medium-class feeder that throws weighty feeders up to 90 grams, a 13-15 lb cord is suitable.
• Lovers of fishing heavy feeder , where the weight range of the trough can be 120 grams, use a 16-18 lb cord, and in rare cases even more. We recommend placing a shock leader.
• Extra heavy feeder can be completed with the same braid as above, but you need to put a shocker so that there are no shots when casting. When fishing for carp, carp, grass carp, a thickhead, you can take a thicker lace, or take a fishing line plus a shock leader. when the fish will make sharp jerks while playing, and the shock will give an opportunity to throw heavy weights and forcefully act on the last meters of playing the trophy.
  

What kind of braid should you put on the feeder? Braid for the feeder - which is better?

1. An important role in determining the field of application of the cord is played by the number of cores from which it is woven and its cross section. A striking example is the well-known Power Pro cord, it is flat in cross section . This has both advantages and and cons.The main advantage of such cords is high durability and breaking load. The disadvantages include a large wind capacity, and an overestimated diameter, which negatively affects the casting distance. Today, such cords cannot boast of a low cost - a relic of the past.
2. Eight-strand weave is generally preferred by athletes anglers for whom high casting distance is extremely important. Thanks to the weaving of eight strands, it is possible to achieve a smooth surface that glides well along the rings of the rod, and an almost perfectly circular cross section, which has a good effect on the casting distance. The disadvantage of such cords is their susceptibility to to faster wear and tear and a higher price, which does not bother athletes who often change cords. In addition, with the same diameter, the eight-core has a large breaking load, which allows the use of thinner diameters.
3. Three-core braid . Differs in lower cost than a four-core braid, and higher abrasion resistance. This is achieved thanks to the thicker three veins that make up the feeder cord . The disadvantages of braids of this type are their flat cross-section, and, accordingly, a small overhang, greater wind capacity, and the inability to fish in a strong crosswind, which makes the three-vein unpopular.
4. Four-wire braid in 2019 is the best option for most feeder fishing enthusiasts, as it combines a relatively round cross section and good durability, while maintaining a budget cost. It is now the best choice for feeder fishing.

Please advise the braid for the feeder - we get asked this question all the time

The abundance of cords on the fishing market is difficult to understand even for experienced anglers, the choice of braid often becomes a matter of long thought for them. But it is many times more difficult for novice feederists to decide, who do not know all the peculiarities of fishing in certain conditions.

Feeder fishing factors can be divided into several subtypes.

1. Cast range. The longer the reach needs to be achieved, the thinner the braid is recommended to use. Plus, the braided line provides better long-range serif performance.
2. Strength of the current. The flow of water practically does not affect the thin braid, which is especially important in a river with a current. Using a specialized trough with hooks, you can achieve a stable position of the rig on the bottom, thereby increasing the fishing efficiency.
3. Underwater obstacles. The bottom of many bodies of water can be dotted with sharp stones and shells, about which annoying cuts often occur. To prevent such unpleasant moments, it is recommended to use a cord with a four-core weave, and in some cases, a shock leader.
4. Fish type and size. It is important to understand that fishing for large, strong fish, like carp or carp, braiding can become difficult due to its insensitivity, which will increase the likelihood of retirement, especially for an inexperienced angler.

But it is worth noting that catching small and cautious fish like crucian carp, roach and bream is more comfortable with a braid, because it allows you to achieve greater sensitivity and track even the most delicate bites.

How to choose the color of the braided cord for the feeder

Many anglers bother with the color of the braid for the feeder tackle. But in our opinion, color is not important for the fish - it is more important for the angler. After all, it is more convenient for an angler to fish with those cords that are better visible. And the hook, in any case, stands on a leash made of fishing line, which is much less visible than the cord. Therefore, our advice is to choose the color that is convenient for you. The fish will see the cord of any color, and the feeder too :)

Which braid should I use for the bream feeder?

Bream is a capricious fish that requires the correct presentation of the rig, which can be achieved using a thin diameter braid, and the correct leash - which is better to talk about separately. Before choosing a suitable braid, it is worth taking into account the fishing distance and the surface of the bottom of the reservoir, for a reservoir with a clean bottom, an eight-core weaving is suitable, for a rocky bottom, it is better to purchase a four-core. Bream is not a very lively fish, therefore on days with low biting activity, windy days, and on bodies of water with the current, you can not be afraid to experiment in the direction of reducing the diameter of the braid. But in this case, we would advise you to experiment more with the thickness and length of the leash, and the size of the hook - this is what often brings the desired result.

What kind of braided cord should you choose for your feeder?

For a simple feeder fisherman, it is not necessary to overpay for expensive brands, eight-core weaving, and specialized cord cover, the range includes a mass of budget four-core analogs that can cover most fishing conditions for an ordinary, and even more so for a novice angler.

The main recommendation will be to select a diameter that is not too thick for the intended tackle (see our recommendations for breaking load at the beginning of the article!). By choosing the wrong line instead of the desired safety margin, you can complicate the fishing process by reducing the distance and accuracy of casting, increasing the wind capacity and in the water, as a consequence of which, turn fishing from a pleasant process into a torment.

In principle, we have described everything quite enough, and if you have any questions or recommendations, we will always help you choose a cord for your feeder.
