With the river season coming to an end and it hasn’t been good due to all the rain I’ve not fished the river as much this season . I decided to make some more feeders , I normally use hair curlers but on this occasion I decided on 32mm waste pipe .I ordered some cow leads of lower weights .
The pipe cost me £2-20 and I used a pipe slice to cut them 50 55 60 65 and 75 mm.
I bought 20 cow leads in total in weights of 30 40 and 50 Grams, £10-10
I already had the trace wire , you can use any . The swivels and the in-line lead inserts for 100 of each
Cost £9.60.
To make the boom cut 6-8inches of wire and slide swivel on
Slide the wire through the insert.
Slide on a crimp and pull tag ends to form a loop the crimp with a crimping tool to finish the boom.
The finished feeders, I used an old hinge for the holes , going to make a template for them for future drilling as I don’t have a work bench . Total cost works out at 68 pence compared to shop bought or someone that makes them . No big deal if you lose one. And if you catch it’s on your homemade feeders .Tight lines till I’m out again .
