Preston ICS In-Line Cage Feeder

Description

The Preston Innovations ICS In-Line Cage Feeder is part of the Inter-Change System (ICS) family, designed for commercial match and modern feeder fishing. Built around a central inline plastic sleeve, the feeder lets you swap between different feeder sizes, weights, or even change to an inline method or pellet feeder without dismantling your rig. Slide the tail rubber up, glide the feeder body off the central stem via the integrated slot, and fit a new choice in place. Its streamlined, aerodynamic profile cuts through crosswinds on the cast, while the extra-wide lead base prevents rolling on sloping decks or riverbeds and ensures a smooth, spin-free retrieve. The Medium 20g model suits short to medium-range casting of roughly 15m to 30m, dropping softly into the water without a heavy splash. It works well for building a feeding line for skimmers, bream, and carp, and in winter you can plug the ends with fishmeal groundbait or pinkies to release a scent trail without overfeeding. The wide lead base also holds station when cast tight against sloping banks or far margins, rather than rolling into deeper water. Technical Specifications: - System Compatibility: Fully compatible with all Preston Inter-Change System (ICS) stems and accessories - Size: Medium - Weight: 20g - Configuration: In-Line / Free-running - Material: Ultra-strong, high-tensile mesh cage with a heavy-duty bonded wide lead base - Application: Commercial carp and F1 tactics, skimmer bream lines, river margins, and winter cage-feeder work - Bait Compatibility: Groundbait, damp micro pellets, loose-fed particles (capped with groundbait) The feeder comes supplied with its own standard ICS inline stem and tail rubber, and is interchangeable with other stems in the Preston ICS range, including elasticated stems for extra shock-absorption on light hooklengths. The 20g weight is optimised for stillwaters, commercial canals, and slow-moving river margins; for fast-flowing mainlines, a heavier weight variation is recommended. The wide-mesh cage allows water to flood the core on impact, washing bait out quickly, and the balanced body geometry prevents line twist on the retrieve.
