I think the feeding ring is a valuable tool to be used with this too. If the fish are small and can't take a full pellet down it really helps to hold the feed in the zone longer before it can get washed to shore. On a personal note, since we started using the feeding ring we have noticed the fish staying closer to this area and anytime we throw food in or close to the ring there are some very willing to eat it up (mid-day with the sun high in the sky included).

I forget on the Optimal Starter esshup. Is this floater or sinking food? We've tried a couple of different combinations in the TH Feeder. One of them was Optimal starter #4 with JR. I was thinking the #4 was a sinking pellet.

Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread. Just wanted to add the extra tool of the ring as a support for whatever food is selected.
