it is a swim feeder alright, basically fill it up with a bait of some sort, usually mushed to allow the scent to seap out, to be honest you dont really need one, plenty of bass are caught without them

If you are using mackeral as bait trie sticking the heads of the mackeral onto the grip wires of the lead.This is deadly for fatties and bass and some other speices
