BUYERS’ GUIDE

There’s no simpler or more effective way to deliver our favourite bait accurately to the fish in our swim

DRENNAN CARP FEEDERS

DESIGNED as a maggot feeder, the Carp Feeder can be adapted for chopped worm and caster fishing simply by widening the holes. The weights at the bottom can also be swapped between feeders.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: You can cast these little beauties absolutely miles, yet they still land with a discreet plop.

The tiny little 10g version is superb on rock-hard days.

Sizes: Small, medium, large

Weights: 10g – 20g

Price: £2.35, www.drennantackle.com

Sizes: Medium, large

Weights: 30g – 120g

Price: £2.75 - £3.99, www.korum.co.uk

Sizes: Small, medium, large

Weights: 20g – 40g

Price: £3.25, www.fishmatrix.co.uk
