Mushroom-Base / Flat-Bottom Carp Spring Feeders (widely known in South African banking angling as a "Mielie Bomb" Spring), designed explicitly for conventional carp fishing ("papgooi").
Unlike torpedo-shaped inline cages, this variety features a weighted flat-bottom lead disc that provides unique mechanics on the lakebed.
Key Features
Conical Spring Architecture: Features a high-tensile steel wire coil that acts as a structural anchor for compressed groundbait ("mielie bomb"). The spacing allows feed mixture to pack securely during high-impact casting, while letting it break away and dissolve easily once submerged.
Mushroom Flat-Lead Base: Cast with a solid, flat-bottomed lead disc at the tail. This design creates a stable, low centre of gravity that ensures the rig always lands flat on the lakebed to prevent rolling down underwater drop-offs or silty slopes.
Inline Core Runner: Fitted with a hollow white plastic inner tube extending vertically through the middle. This allows your mainline or leader to run freely, offering zero resistance to a biting fish and transferring subtle movements directly to your rod-tip or alarm.
Anti-Tangle Profile: The wider, weighted base acts as a protective shield and keel during flight, pulling the trace straight behind it to eliminate common mid-air tangles.
