One for the angler. Every angler needs a good quality, reliable and durable bait feeder and here is one that comes up to spec in all three areas. I am talking about the Dinsmores Zeppelin Feeder. These are open ended feeders with the metal body and side weight cast as a single unit and combined with a stiff plastic link for easy attachment to your line.

Being made from cast metal you get no sharp edges like you do on some feeders and again being made of metal and cast as a single unit they are very strong and can withstand being dragged along the bottom of a lake or river.

The openings in the side of the body are oval in shape and spread the bait evenly without clogging. The medium Zeppelin weighs 30 grams and the larger one double that at 60 grams. You'll need a good rod with a sufficient test curve to launch these babies especially when they are filled with ground bait. My advice is to use a tough braid or a shock leader with them.

They sink well and cast over a vast distance effortlessly but the best bit is the price with the medium size at just 60p and the larger one a mere 75p.

Excellent value for a piece of quality tackle which should adorn every anglers tackle box
