jpole Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 thank for the tips i will give it a go but how do you cast a 10ft hook length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow83 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Put the hooklength into a cup or depending on the size of your rod just cast it out i have never had any problems with doing it that way but saying that the longest hooklength i have fished is 7ft still should be ok though hope this helps  Tight Lines  Willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpingod150 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 You can coil the hooklength with PVA string, just be careful not to tangle it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtz Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just lie the hooklink out behind you and put the hoobait in a cup, pop up tub etc so it doesnt snap when you cast it. Â I don't like the adjustable zig to be honest, just because the comics rave about it it doesnt mean it's the lastest wonder rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seleb Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's not always the best way to fish a zig but if you're fishing water that's deeper than the length of your rod with a zig then it's the only option really. Â It's been around a fair few years now. I used to use it on my old club water sometimes but with a drilled out cork for a sub float.
