FAQs

What is the best groundbait to use with these feeders?

A slightly sticky groundbait mix is recommended to ensure the bait stays in the feeder during the cast and releases effectively on the lakebed. Experiment with different mixes to find what works best in your fishing situation.

How do I choose the correct feeder weight?

Select a feeder weight appropriate for your rod's casting weight, the distance you are casting, and the conditions (wind, current). Start with a lighter weight and increase as needed.

Can I use these feeders in rivers?

Yes, the Zippla Distance Feeders are suitable for river fishing. The design helps them to navigate currents effectively.

How do I load the feeder?

Pack the groundbait firmly but not too tightly. You can use a loading tool or simply press the groundbait into the feeder with your thumb.

What type of line should I use?

Braided mainline is often preferred for its low stretch and sensitivity. Use a shock leader if necessary.

How should I store the feeders?

Rinse the feeders with fresh water after each use and store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Are different sizes available?

Yes, NuFish Zippla Distance Feeders are available in various sizes and weights. Choose the appropriate size for your fishing needs.

How can I improve my casting distance?

Practice your casting technique, use a suitable rod and reel, and ensure your line is in good condition. Consider the wind and use the correct feeder weight for your equipment.

Troubleshooting

Feeder tangles during casting.

Ensure your hooklength is not too long. Check your casting technique and avoid jerky movements. Ensure the feeder is loaded correctly with the bait not being too loose.

Poor casting distance.

Check your casting technique. Ensure the feeder weight matches your rod's casting weight. Check for wind resistance. Ensure the mainline is in good condition and there are no obstructions.

Feeder gets stuck on the bottom.

Use a lighter feeder weight or a different presentation. Avoid casting into areas with heavy weed or snags. Consider using a different feeder design.
