ZYG RIGS ?

[peter mccue]

Just adding a tip to the thread. If you're fishing bottom rigs & find yourself in a zig rig situation, simply remove your hooklength & add the appropriate z/r hooklength.

 

Fold the hooklength (concertina style) to a length that will cause you no problems & tie with pva thread, if you want to, add a piece of solar foam to your hookbait & away you go.

 

Reasonably tangle free & quick.

hello....couple of tips that might help!

 

1)When you fish depths of more than 3 feet and its hard to cast ,put the long hooklink in a mug on the floor behind you ,it makes it easier!

 

2)use a running lead set up for very aggressive takes although they self hook any way, its a safety point as well in case of a line breakage!

 

3)and as for bait a piece of the fake bread flake (size of a 5p bit)is differant to anything they would of seen at range!

That seemed to ruffle a few feathers and no it is not a teather rig. It is basically an extension of a bolt rig. Peter, there is no reason you can't use a safety clip it is just that I have used it like that for years. I could also name some very top profile carp anglers who also use this rig, and I don't suppose they would put the fish at risk would they. I know I don't intend to, and I would like to think the rigs I use are safe.

Another trick I was using the other night.

Put the rig in a big pva bag and stuff it with floating pellets ,bread and whatever.

They don't know whats hit 'em.
