zander bite indication

[bingbong]

is my set up for pike bite indication suitable for zander , bite alarm on front and drop back on rear with bait runner or would i be better off with carp style bobbins

[Dick Dastardly]

Stick with what your doing mate but I would use an open bail arm rather than the bait runner.Zeds are really spooky on resistance/change of resistance.

i use fox drop offs and open bail arms,even on rivers or drains that have a decent flow,some of my friends use lighly set baitrunners and carp style bobbins,doesnt do tooo much harm,but in winter when its really cold especially at night,the zander can be very very finicky so they often revert back to drop offs and open bails,

 

same goes for rigs,resistance free at all times.
