The Rigs Page – The Cagefeeder

But it is especially good for feeding a river swim with mashed or liquidised bread and comes into its own on big rivers (when swims cannot be easily recognised) where a trail of bread crumbs, in mash or liquidised form, is required to lay down a feed trail that extends for some distance downstream.

Cagefeeders come in metal and plastic form in various sizes.

To assemble

1. Slide a running legerbead onto the main line. The legerbead has a link fitted which can be covered with a sleeve of silicon.
2. Slide on a large rubber bead to protect the knot on the swivel and to provide some ‘stand-off’ for the feeder.
3. Tie a small swivel onto the main line
4. Tie your hooklink to the opposite end of the swivel. The swivel helps to prevent line twist and also acts as a non-slip leger-stop.
5. Pull the large rubber bead down to cover the top eye of the swivel.
6. Clip a cagefeeder to the link.
