Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Great Deal on Moultiry feeders

Unfortunately, feeders are one item that the "you get what you pay for" saying rings true.

If you live on the property where the pond is located, visit the pond on a daily basis, and can trouble-shoot/repair things easily, then go for it. I'm not saying that they're bad, just that the people on here (myself included) that have bought less expensive feeders end up wishing that they would have bought something different.

I'm talking directional feeders here, not the broadcast kind like deer corn feeders.

I have 2 Stren AquaPro 75 feeders, and they seem to clog or bridge when using 3/16" - 1/4" dia pellets. They had a timer problem in the past, that seems to be resolved now. Mine are working pretty well. Would I have 99% confidence in them to fill them and go on a month trip? No.

A friend has a few Texas Hunter Feeders, and I had to work on one when I visited him because it got submerged by a flood a few days prior. It was easy to work on, and after it was dried out and a new battery installed, it worked just fine.

If I have to buy a new feeder and don't need to feed AquaMax Largemouth Pellets, I'll buy a TH. I know they're expensive, and I can work on and fix just about anything. BUT, it's not so much the working on stuff, it's the time lost feeding the growing fish that gets me.
