Preston Innovations Hexmesh Plastic Open End Feeder

A modern evolution of the classic open-end feeder, the Preston Innovations Hexmesh Plastic Open End Feeder is engineered specifically for fishing deep stillwaters, venue drop-offs, and fast-flowing rivers. Combining a solid plastic body construction with precision Hexmesh perforations, this feeder gives you total control over how and when your bait breaks down on the lakebed or riverbed.

Unlike full-mesh feeders that lose groundbait on impact or during the descent through deep water, the solid walls of the Hexmesh feeder shield your payload as it travels through the water column. The strategically placed hex-pattern holes allow water to flush directly through the core once the feeder reaches the bottom, creating a controlled, concentrated release of groundbait, micro pellets, dead maggots, or chopped worm right next to your hookbait. Available in a wide selection of frame sizes and weight loadings, it is a versatile essential for feeder anglers targeting bream, skimmers, chub, barbel, and roach.

Key Applications & Where To Use

Deep-Water Venues: The solid plastic body keeps your groundbait packed inside during a long drop to the bottom, ensuring your feed doesn’t wash out mid-depth.
Fast-Flowing Rivers: Protects loose offerings like hemp, casters, and dead maggots from being swept away by strong currents before the feeder settles on the riverbed.
Controlled Bait Release: The Hexmesh openings allow water to breakdown the feed once stationary, creating a tidy, tight feeding zone around your hookbait.
Roving & Distance Feeder Tactics: Aerodynamic plastic profile casts accurately in crosswinds and retrieves smoothly over marginal shelf drops and snags.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Tailor your squeeze pressure depending on the depth and current. For deep waters or river fishing, plug both ends firmly with a slightly damp groundbait mix to seal in your loose offerings. For shallower venues, a lighter squeeze allows the Hexmesh pattern to draw water in immediately on impact for a quicker break-down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why use a plastic Hexmesh feeder instead of a full wire mesh feeder?

A: Solid plastic walls protect your bait payload as it travels down through deep water or strong river currents. Wire mesh releases bait quickly on impact, whereas the Hexmesh design holds the bait inside until it lands on the bottom.

Q: What types of bait can I load into this feeder?

A: It excels with standard groundbait, damp 2mm/4mm fishery pellets, or “sandwich” style loadings packed with dead maggots, casters, hemp, or chopped worm in the middle.

Q: Is this feeder suitable for both rivers and stillwaters?

A: Yes, the range includes multiple weight options. Lighter versions are ideal for stillwater bream and skimmer fishing, while heavier options hold bottom securely in river currents for barbel and chub.
