Preston Innovations In-Line Cage Feeders

The Preston Innovations In-Line Cage Feeders are designed to be the ultimate all-rounder for the modern feeder angler. Whether you are fishing fast-flowing rivers or targeting margins on commercial fisheries, these feeders provide the stability and performance required to keep your bait exactly where it needs to be. Featuring a wide-lead base for enhanced grip and a streamlined profile that cuts through the air, they are a staple for any serious angler’s tackle box.

Specifications

• Design: In-line system with a streamlined, aerodynamic profile.

• Stability: Wide lead base prevents rolling and ensures the feeder holds firm on slopes or in currents.

• Construction: Super-strong, durable cage design for long-term reliability.

• Anti-Spin: Engineered to track straight on the retrieve, preventing line twist.

• Available Sizes & Weights:

  • Small: 20g, 30g

  • Medium: 30g, 45g

  • Large: 30g, 45g

Key Features

• Maximum Stability: The wide, flat-lead base design is a game-changer. It ensures the feeder sits securely on the lake or riverbed, even on the steep marginal slopes of commercial lakes or in moderate currents where rounder feeders might roll away.

• Streamlined Casting: The feeder’s shape is optimized for aerodynamics, allowing for long, accurate casts. It cuts through the air cleanly, meaning you hit your chosen spot with pinpoint precision, even when fishing in windy conditions.

• No-Spin Retrieve: Tired of your feeder spinning and twisting your mainline on the way in? The profile of these feeders ensures they track straight through the water, reducing the risk of tangles and line damage during the retrieve.

• Extreme Durability: Constructed with high-strength materials, these cages are built to survive constant impact with gravel, rocks, and structure. They are designed to stand up to the rigors of heavy-duty, regular use.

Pro Tip for Anglers

For river fishing, choose the heaviest weight (45g) to ensure your feeder stays pinned to the bottom against the flow. If you are fishing on commercial waters for F1s or Carp, try using the Small 20g or 30g versions; these are perfect for introducing smaller, more frequent portions of bait, which often triggers a more competitive feeding response from fish that have become wary of large, static bait piles.

Where to Use

• Rivers: The wide lead provides excellent anchorage in flow, making it perfect for targeting Barbel, Chub, and Roach.

• Commercial Margins: The design excels on the steep, sloping edges of commercial lakes, where standard feeders would slide down into the deeper water.

• All-Rounder Stillwaters: Ideal for Bream and Skimmer fishing, where the cage design allows for a quick, effective release of your groundbait or pellet mix.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why choose an In-Line system over a standard fixed swivel feeder?

In-line feeders are inherently safer and often provide better bite detection. Because the line passes directly through the body of the feeder, the fish feels the resistance of the lead immediately upon picking up the bait, which often leads to a more positive hook-set.

Are these feeders compatible with quick-change beads?

Yes, they are fully compatible with most standard quick-change beads. This setup is highly recommended, as it allows you to swap your hooklength in seconds, keeping you fishing efficiently throughout your session.

Can I use these with both groundbait and pellets?

Absolutely. The open cage design is ideal for holding a mix of groundbait, micros, and particles. For best results, use a “plug” of slightly stiffer groundbait at each end of the feeder to ensure your bait stays secure during the cast but disperses rapidly once it touches the bottom.
