i dont know the brand name but i tend to use a cage feeder around 2-3" long for 75% of my feeder fishing

 

[andreagrispi]

Drennan whether it be groundbait, maggot or cage feeders. I also like fox for range fishing.

 

[steph mckenzie]

Drennan Feeders for me too ...... it's just a personal preferance thing.

Although Kamasan Black caps are my prefered Maggot Feeder.

I have a few korum feeders which are well made but I cannot in for the life of me understand why they cost so much, its the same with the fox feeders, they are good but are a few quid more than drennan and nisa...WHY?

I tend to use a cheap generic plastic open ended feeder for most of my fishing. They're hadly cutting edge technology and don't see the need to pay twice the price for a branded feeder. I do prefer them with a rigid plastic stem than a power gum link and swivel to connect the feeder to the mainline as I find they tangle alot less, particularly when fishing running rigs.

I rarely fish maggot feeders, I bought a mix lot a while ago and find them much of a muchness although I do find the ones with an elasticated lid alot more user friendly.

Kamasan blackcaps and dutch cage feeders with forward loading.

For me it has to be the Drennan Gripmesh. The most effective method with groundbait, maggot, hemp and pellet I've found for everything from trout and grayling to barbel and chub on my local river.

Drennan, in most instances (especially like the inline maggot feeder) + a soft spot for the black cap.

Drennan Maggot, Cage and method for me as well. Although I may give the banjo's ago soon as they look like the mini pellets will stay on longer.

Much as others have said on the rivers its the Drennan Gripmesh or a Kammy Blackcap for method style on stillwaters i use match style feeders that come with their own moulds.Mine are the Garbolino ones although Preston and Drennan amonst others sell similar feeders.

Drennan Feeders for me too ...... it's just a personal preferance thing.

Although Kamasan Black caps are my prefered Maggot Feeder.

the same for me

I've only started using feeders this year so I'm still learning.
Generic open ended plastic seem to be ok, I've tried a few mesh feeders as well - no idea of the make.
Both seem ok on stillwater, but the plastic has caught me more on the river.

I think that getting the weight right is more important than the type.

Don't have a favourite, each needs to fulfill a purpose. The feeders that transformed my roach fishing last year were tiny, little micro feeders that hels a pinch or two of fluffy bread flake. I could add a little feed each cast without overdoing it.... this was a tight swim and accurate casting was not an issue - it was either on the spot - or up a tree, bank etc........ I wonder if the roach will be there again this year?

Cheap cage feeders - packet of self-grip hair rollers from Poundland type shops. Strip the velcro covering off, add a strip of lead suitable for the size and a swivel - Bob's your uncle - a dozen feeders for a couple of quid in whatever size you want.
