In order to know which sinker you need to use, you'll have to look at your rods specs and put your lure/bait + sinker between the two values given (lowest possible - highest possible). You don't need to use a bell on the rod, but you do have to use a feeder or sinker. NOTE: the difference in bells is ONLY sensitivity, and not tone. The open feeders are usually used in slow moving current like lakes, the closed version is usually used in faster moving currents like rivers and allows your groundbait to last longer in the stronger current.īells can be used on feeding rods (don't know about bottom rods yet) and will jingle when a fish has taken the bait (Depending on the quiver strength and sensitivity of the bell its self). (I have not noticed any increase in bites with groundbait yet, though I think they are working on it)Īs for feeders, the two options are open or closed. That 'scent' if mixed correctly should draw more fish into range of your bait and thus allow for a great chance of a bite. There are also Feeders (both open and closed) that can go into the same spot on feeder rods (don't know about bottom rods) and they allow you to use groundbait to 'seed' the area around your hooks bait with scent. The sinkers are used to weigh the line down and allow gravity to pull it to the bottom. 10 Things Anglers Can Do to Help Save the Planet FYI Catch-andrelease angling is not always the best management plan. The bells and sinkers can be used on either Feeder rods, or bottom fishing rods.
