A feeder hooklength controls how naturally your hookbait behaves and how confidently fish take it. Choose the right combination of diameter, length, hook size and bait attachment for stillwaters, canals or flowing rivers.
Choosing the right feeder hooklength
Fine diameters offer a subtle presentation for cautious fish, while stronger hooklengths provide security around snags, in current or when carp and large bream are present. Match the breaking strain to your main line and the power of your feeder rod.
Hooklength length and presentation
Short hooklengths give direct bite registration and suit compact presentations. Longer hooklengths can help when fish feed cautiously or when the bait needs more natural movement. Keep several options ready in a rig box or wallet.
Method feeder hooklengths
Method feeder rigs are usually short so the hookbait remains close to the feed. Combine them with suitable method feeders and balanced hookbaits.
