Black, white or bronze Honey Pot — does colour matter?

Does the fish care? No.

Carp locate a method feeder by scent and vibration, not by sight. Once it's on the bottom, the colour is irrelevant to the fish. The attractant you pack into it does the work — not the shell colour.

Does colour matter to you? Sometimes.

There is one practical reason to think about feeder colour: visibility at night. A white or light-coloured feeder is easier to spot when you're rigging up in the dark, baiting a hook, or rummaging through a tackle bag by headtorch. Black feeders blend into a dark bank bag and can slow you down during a night session when you're in a hurry.

The short version

• For the fish: colour makes no difference. Scent is everything.
• For you at night: white or bronze is easier to work with by headtorch.
• For durability: all colours are the same feeder, same cage construction.

Pick the colour you'll find easiest to work with, load it with the right attractant for the conditions, and let the scent do the fishing. Browse the Honey Pot feeder options and choose what suits your kit.
