GD How To Make Your Own Pole Cup

[davemacsween]

Copied this from elsewhere.

Here is a simple little pole feeder pot you can make in just a few minutes,

so before anyone else claims fame for the T-Pot here it is for you to make your own...

it can be fitted or removed in seconds to any size pole tip, (without removing the rig)

all you need is a small aerosol top and a piece of No 12 elastic,

cut 2 Vs in the top opposite each other and then drill two small holes directly under the Vs same diameter as the pole elastic (i use a bait drill)..

push the elastic into the inside of the pot and tie a knot then do the same to other side (see photo)

to fit to your pole, lay the tip into the 2 Vs and pull the elastic over the tip and under the cup (see photo) if you don't think its on tight enough or slips if the pole is wet just pull the elastic around again

hope that makes sense it really is a simple idea that works great for this time of year when you only want to feed very little but acurately...

just a tip if you're going to make one, that this is a feeding pot to use while fishing and is not intended to replace your big feedpot on a cupping kit for delivering ground bait, so when selecting your pot dont use one of them big aerosol caps, the small tops are best..

That would work, a better solution would be to put some spare elastic through some holes on the bottom rather than the top so you can put balled ground bait in without having the pole tip in the way.

@terryo has made his own and works fantastic.
