Product Information
Full details
The Drennan Feeder Links (2") are essential terminal tackle components designed for anglers who prioritize tangle-free feeder fishing. These links are ideal for both beginners and experienced match or coarse fishermen looking to improve rig efficiency. Their primary benefit is the ability to maintain consistent separation between the mainline and the feeder during long-distance casts, though users should note that the 2-inch length is specifically optimized for smaller to medium-sized feeders.

FAQs
Are these suitable for braided mainlines?
Yes, the smooth interior of the moulded bead is compatible with both monofilament and braided lines.
Can I use these for method feeders?
These are primarily designed for cage and window feeders; inline method feeders usually feature their own integrated systems.
Why would I choose the 2-inch over the 3-inch version?
The 2-inch version is more compact, providing a more direct connection and better sensitivity for shorter-range fishing.
How do I ensure the rig is truly 'free running'?
Ensure there is enough 'play' on your mainline so that the feeder link can move freely without hitting your rod tip or main knot.
Does the snap swivel rust?
The swivel is made from robust metal, but as with all terminal tackle, rinsing it with fresh water after use is recommended to maintain longevity.
Troubleshooting
The feeder link is sliding too far up the mainline.
Add a small float stop or a rubber buffer bead above the feeder link on your mainline.
Line twisting occurs during retrieval.
Ensure the snap swivel is rotating freely and check that your hooklength is not overly long or prone to spinning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces casting tangles
- Allows for quick feeder swaps
- Smooth, free-running action for bite detection
- High-durability build quality
Cons
- Length may be too short for very large, heavy feeders
- Requires threading onto the mainline during setup
- Not intended for heavy-duty snag fishing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply thread your mainline through the eye of the moulded bead on the feeder link before attaching your main swivel or hooklink connector. Ensure that you have a protective sleeve or stop knot on the line to prevent the link from sliding too far up the rod. Compatibility is universal with standard monofilament and braided mainlines. To care for your gear, rinse the swivel with fresh water after fishing in salt or brackish conditions to prevent corrosion, and inspect the link regularly for any signs of abrasion or wear after snaggy retrieves.
