How to make a bottle top feeder

ANGLER’S MAIL is the number one source for tips and tricks!

A reader asked us to show him how to make a cheap feeder rig. This type of feeder has become very popular and is regarded by many as a rival to the pellet feeder.

1 Gather the materials. You will need a green milk bottle top, a biro pen tube, a small sheet of lead and a strong adhesive such as Araldite or Super Steel.

2 Trim the milk bottle with scissors to leave a slightly smaller lip on the lid.

3 Drill two holes opposite each other in the sides of the lid.

4 Insert the Biro tube and glue it in position.

5 Using the base of the lid, scribe a circle on the lead and cut out the disk.

6 The lead disk is glued in position.

7 The feeder is attached with the line running through the biro tube and stopped by a rubber bread and swivel to which the hook length is attached.
