hutch Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Best thing i can say is read Nige's post in this thread https://forum.carp.com/topic/22982-zig-masters/?tab=comments#comment-298559 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 OMG...wot a read...so basically depends on depth of water but can be used anywere instead of surface fishing or using a float/controller... But have been looking at the Korda pre tied rigs but its weird how they will just take foam but i know it should be gooed/flavoured.. Might even try small 8mm pop ups doubled up first.. 🎣🎣🎣 Thanks so far.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Carp spend most of there time somewhere in the water column depending on weather conditions, zigs allow you to try and fish for them in areas other than the surface or the bottom. Pop ups will work as will foam, with foam it is more likely what it is made up of that makes them take it unflavoured (try listening to the first Frank Warwick carp cast), personally I have had success soaking foam in CC Moore;s Natural Blend (not available any more ), I think Nige soaks his in Essentials Thaumatin-B and I have friends that use Betalin (Both are similar sweet based products) as well with good success rates. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Cheers hutch...may try at weekend weather depending...also does the hook need to be smaller than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have been using size 8 fox zig/floater hooks recently with the zig alingas, other people may vary some prefer small hooks others don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
