Feeder Weights

Feeder Weights for Fishing and Bottom Checking

Two Different Tasks of a Weight

Feeder weights can replace the feeder basket when fishing with a small amount of bait or serve to check the bottom before starting baiting. The choice depends on weight, shape, attachment method, and behavior during reeling. The same weight will not perform the same on mud, gravel, and in the current.

Bombs for the Rig or Weight for Ground Checking?

The feeder bomb weights subcategory includes compact designs useful for bomb feeder fishing and delivering the rig without a basket. Aerodynamic models favor casting, while flattened ones better resist sliding. Separate ground checking weights are selected for feeling contact with the bottom; protrusions and distinctive profiles help read its hardness and structure. Always match the weight with the casting weight of the rod and the distance.
