Possible stupid question re Zig rig/Float fishing

[chris71]

Ok can anyone tell me why I couldn't try float fishing a bait rather than zig rig to try the different depths?? Only difference I can see is the hair rigged bait would be upside down and if carp tend to go down onto food they would see a big hook just above the bait...apologies if this is a crazy idea in advance or maybe it's a brilliant idea and I could sell it to korda for £1000s

Google pellet wagglers. Match men love em.

 

Trouble is that the wind will shift a float around which looks unnatural and need recasting regularly.

 

Pellet waggler on match lakes is loads of fun though!!!!

Thanks Cobleyn looks like I'll be trying a zig then

ive caught a few fish on float fished hair rigged luncheon meat about a foot from the surface, i find the bites come quite quickly or not at all,never tried it with boilies though, dont seem right somehow,

Know what you mean about the boilie thing...maybe I'll try sweetcorn, luncheon meat etc...it was only an idea when I get bored and see any fish near the surface have a rod set up with float/zig and have a go
