Method feeders mould a compact ball of feed around the frame, while cage and open-ended designs release loose bait more freely. Inline and elasticated arrangements use different connections and loading methods, so the feeder shape alone does not tell the whole story.
Weights are stated in grams, ounces or both. Pack quantity, body size and supplied moulds or stems can also differ between similar feeder types.

Method, Pellet and Cage Feeders
Method and pellet feeders are designed to carry a compact bait load around the frame. Banjo styles use a shallower body and a matching mould, while cage feeders have an open structure for groundbait, maggots and particles.
Feeder shape, size and the intended bait influence how quickly the contents leave the feeder. Two products with similar weights can still be different systems.
Coarse Fishing Weights and Connections
Bombs and leads add casting weight without holding a large amount of feed. Some are supplied with swivels, inserts or quick-change fittings, while others are plain weights for a particular rig system.
Inline feeders and leads pass the main line through the body. Other designs use a swivel or stem connection, which affects how they sit within a complete setup.
Feeder and Weight Designs
Feeder type, stated weight, pack quantity and supplied components all vary between products. A feeder with its own mould or an interchangeable weight system contains different parts from a simple individual bomb.
Several feeder sizes can sit within the same named pattern, while the body shape and connection determine how each one is used in a rig.
