Feeder fishing question

[jayson69]

Hi, I have a question, which makes you wished that you payed more attension at skool !

 

I prebait a swim with use of a catapult at 38 meters! (tested on the bank)

 

I wish to hit this distance with the feeder rod.

 

Water is 11 meters deep.

tip of rod will be level with the bank.

 

The Question:

 

How long should the line be, from tip of rod to cage feeder? that I come onto the prebaited point? (and staying there, after taking up all slack line)

 

thanx in advance (and please keep it simple !)

39.56 METRES

Correct, that's the square root of (38² + 11²).

Eleven metres deep? Wow, that's deep for coarse fishing!

[jayson69]

wowww cheers chaps!

 

Correct, that's the square root of (38² + 11²).

 

so this is the formlar right thanks again!

 

11 meter yes, it´s a gravel pit in north Germany!

 

thx again

P.S oh yeah, I did mention that I was a bit of a thicko......

 

how do you calculate the above then. I do have a square root button on the calculater

 

Please, step by step for dummies

That's not taking any variables into account, such as undertow, natural bow in line ( both which will depend on thickness of line) etc.

Exactly - assumes a perfect diagonal from rod tip to bait. Might wanna pin line to lake bed - or even back lead!

What about line stretch!?! Ok sorry for confusing things even more :-)

 

How about using a feeder to put the bait in and pva bags?

Type on a (simple) calculator...

There's something wrong with the education system of today!
