    Thanks Alex. I’ve watched 1000 videos on fishing a zig rig properly (I’m from the US and fishing with different carp rigs is still a foreign concept), but your video finally started to make sense to me.

    Dear Carl and Alex
    Again a great video. Thank you for this.
    I was wondering if you fish zig rigs close together. Is it a good idea to get the rods close together on different depths to find where the fish are or is this asking for tangles?
    Kind regards.

    So in theory you could use a normal float with lead each side and a heavy lead next to it and start feeding the line till it surfaces?

  • @EricPollarrd
    @EricPollarrd Před 2 lety

    And the massive disadvantage to zigging on the surface is you’re not gonna be able to yank it out the way of a duck as quick as u can a float 😬 My lake is crammed with birds so this summer am aiming to zig a foot under the surface while still baiting with floaters, be interesting to see if there’s as many takes as being on the top. If the carp are focused on the surface baits however they mightn’t even spot a bait 1ft below, but at least the freakin ducks shouldn’t spot it and dive
