cloud9 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 right a few weeks ago http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141352103754?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I see these up on the bay and thought they look good , could be an item I could use , never tried zigs before but my understanding is that these should float ? how wrong I was ... as the title says don't bother unless your into reverse zigging ( gizzing ?) dave B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutcracker Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 What about replacing the tail with rig foam i no thats not how they should be and i wouldnt buy them but it might be a way of getting some use out of them dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud9 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'll probably do something with them Deano , might just strip all the bug stuff off and use the hooks with some zig foam dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of those nights last night where I couldn't sleep and one of the strange thoughts that popped into my head was fishing these from a controller float , letting it sink down a foot or two . dave cyborx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
