Korum feeders are absolutely crap,always smashing up and the lead becoming detached from the cage

Try the Nisa feeders in Carters in 3/4 oz,bullet proof Smile

Korum feeders just aren't that robust, particularly the bigger they are. They don't stand up well on rocky or weedy rivers. If you have to buy Korum then look for the solid bodies rather than the mesh type.

They look like Fisky's but without the curlers being painted. I really should get round to making my own one day. If I could consistently get the leads I probably would.

It wasn't a criticism. Wink

Besides, the paint is pointless anyway, it soon wears off. Big Grin
