Bill, I got it for the HSB, but the CNBG are pounding it before it ever floats out to them. The protein's a little higher than I needed for the HSB, but the all the larger fish(HSB&CNBG) are readily eating it.

I think I'll have a better feel for the results after the CNBG slow down a tad. The big puddle's at 58 degrees, and I'm hoping the CNBG slow down soon so I can see exactly who's eating what.

I'm doing the same thing. HSB love it, so do BG and smallies, and with some minor modifications a TH feeder can throw it.

AND to top it off, Skretting sent me a Christmas card.
No more Aquamax for me, either!!

Yolk, did you drop the spindle?

I'm new at this HSB game, but the short term results have been extremely positive. My LMB better straighten their act up, or I'll kick em' to the curb.

Lowered the spindle and flattened it's edges just a bit, though I'm not sure that would have to be done on all feeders.

My daughter has definitely become an HSB convert.....
