Hello
I am currently fishing with the Matrix inline cage feeders. They weigh 40 grams. The reason why I prefer this type of swimfeeder is because an inline flat feeder is not suitable for fishing in deeper water with a moderate current.
My hooklength is 4 inches long, the hooksize is number 10, with on the hair 1 corn. The thickness is Ø 22.
The problem I encounter is quite annoying. When I cast my rod, it so happens that my hooklength twists with my mainline. Consequently I don't stand a chance to catch a fish.
To solve the problem, I tried to shorten the hooklength to 2 inches. My question to you: isn't this too short?
I've also tried to increase the thickness of my mainline to Ø 28. Isn't that too much?
Has anybody experienced the same problems?
I would prefer to fish with a hooklength of 4 inches, the prime target is bream.
Would an increase of the weight of the feeder to 50 or 60 grams result in me catching more fish?
Thanks in advance!
