Feeders

[Shang Tsung]

What's the difference between an Open & Closed Feeder?
& how do you use them?
& how do you make the recipes, or know wat to do?

[von Driesen]

Open Feeder empties quicker, A closed feeder slower. A fast current will wash out an open feeder very quickly. Also a fast current will disperse the ground bait quickly, so its not doing any work.

On the packets it tells you, what species or size fish you use each for. Also current and water temperature. Recipies them selves are personal choice and experiance of using them. Start with equal amounts in each section of the recipie, adjust after a days fishing. Do not add to much aroma to base though as to much seems turn fish away.

When in game select rod with feeder sinker make sure it is correct weight (slightly under normal sinker(mix adds weight as well)). Go to mix and add it to blank circle in rod selection (reel hooks etc.)
Once in circle mix the mix for feeder and you are ready to fish.

Note mix is divided into 3 parts so 3 rods with feeder sinkers can be used. (l use 3 rods)
Closed feeder sinkers only.
Mixes last for one day so make sure you have a few in your backpack. Need to mix again if you transfer to the next day.

NOTE. This is base on Catfish Destroyer Mix only, so other types mixes, aromas etc. for carp/other fish' are different in mixing for those fish'.

Can you use empty Feeders as a Sinker?

Yes. Also empty sinkers can be used when weights are drifting in some lakes, for some reason they seem not to drift.

IRL an open ended feeder is for using groundbait whilst a closed feeder is for filling just with pure feed like maggots, and no groundbait. An open feeder empties quicker. In the game it doesn't make any difference which one you use.

What do they mean by White Fish for the feeders??

[Fishing4Trains]

In the UK silver fish are any species other than carp. I don't know what they mean by whitefish, maybe similar?

[Shang Tsung]

Does anyone know wat they mean by 'White Fish' when it comes to Feeder Ingredients?

[Sup_DiM0N]

Yes all fish with white meat, but not salmon trout which is pink or red...

[Shang Tsung]

So by 'White Fish' they mean fish that have white meat? therefore I can use these ingredients on any fish except salmon or trout?

That would be a question only the developers can answer...
What are you trying to catch and what chum are you trying?

[Sup_DiM0N]

Going through developers diaries found something you might consider as an answer to your question...
"Сhum will work almost anywhere, but this method is most popular in Europe, where there the “white”, no-predatory fish are more abundant. Crucian Carp, Bream, Tench, Common Carp, and many other related species are you most likely catch when feeder fishing!

Enjoy your feeder experience with Fishing Planet and tight lines!

"Chum" is really for sea fishing, especially targeting sharks. We call it "groundbait" or cereal" in freshwater fishing.
