We have a 7 acre bass lake on which we have 3 feeders. We've had problems with our $750 Sweeney feeder and are still trying to get it to work correctly. It's supposed to be the "Lexus" of feeders but I'm not so sure.

Due to the Sweeney problems we didn't want to spend big money on the other 2 feeders so we bought the 6 gallon Moultrie bucket feeders. So far they've worked well. They don't throw the bait as far as the Sweeney but at least they work.
