![]() ![]() 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. If you’re ready to build on your rigging knowledge, read more about how to tie the best fishing knots.The bells and sinkers can be used on either Feeder rods, or bottom fishing rods. Again, placement varies for more complex rigs.Īs always, be sure you have an active fishing license before hitting the water. These are often used for deeper water and stronger currents. Tied - Tied sinkers have a small brass ring, loop, or molded eye protruding from the top or bottom where a knot can easily be tied.These are often used for drift or bottom fishing and can be rigged above the leader by securing with a swivel and adding a plastic bead to protect the knot. Sliding - Sliding sinkers, such as egg sinkers, have a hole bored through the center.Insert leader line into groove and twist the rubber to secure. Rubber core - elongated weights with a rubber-lined groove.When used with a bobber at the top of the leader, place one or two split shots two or three inches above the hook. Most single-line rigs utilize a sturdy monofilament or fluorocarbon leader between the fishing line and the terminal tackle. Split shot - small, round weight with a slit in the middle, clamp onto fishing line by pinching shut with fingers or pliers. ![]()
