So how can you alter the depth if the lead is fixed? How does the line run through it?

Thanks for the video,
Does the bubble float lift off the floor or just act as an adjuster like shown?

Nice vid, well presented (better than I could do)! lol. Ther are a couple of adjustments easily made to improve both the safety and mechanics of your set up. If I can work out how to use my lads video thingy I will post a video reply.Keep up the good work.

It is necessary to use a bubble float if you are fishing very deep venues with a small pop up. Even using a cup to cast the hook from-there is no way you can cast a lead with a fixed 25 foot hooklength on without tangling. (Venues such as Erics and Masters at Shatterford requite such lengths) with a 14-18mm pop-up, there is just not enough buoyancy to pull the line through a run ring on its own, so when you let line out the pop-up remains pinned down where it is.

Hi Mate,
Please make sure the rig is safe when you tie it.
Connect the stiff section to your main line by using a double grinner knot. This is small enough to allow the bubble float to slide over the knot in the event of main line breakage. You can stop the float flying over the knot when in use by sliding a rubber sleeve onto the knot. The rubber will then only move when under slight pressure.
Good luck!

Great video, i am going to try this at Shatterford at the end of may, i’ve heard zig rigs are great for carp there. Thanks for advice!!

Yes, I agree, the safety of the rig may look suspicious but I use a much smaller swivel that passes through the bore of the bubble float. I place a rubber sleeve over the smaller swivel so it temporarily stops the float passing through during use, but will push through under pressure. The float can then come free from the mainline.
I also, use much thinner line on the hooklink end, this mainly breaks first without the float, and the thinner line has less visibility.

thr band in quite a few lakes i can see why good video tho think its incase of foul hooking or break off thr wd be a float stuck on th line

what size carp have you caught on this zig-rig. in pounds please.
August 3rd, 2010 at 7:16 am
You can use a Zig Rig whenever the carp are mid-water.
