tidyboy02 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 For this winter im fishing 2 rods on zigs and 2 on my normal ways. Ive made up around 10 zigs already and i store the on pole winders. The reason i have made 10 up is that ive got 2 x 2feet 2x3feet 2x4feet 2x 5feet and 2 at 6feet. all the same except the lenght of them all on size 8 hooks to 10lb doulble strenght line. My baits are either bits of fox foam the barrel shapes or bits of cork and small pop up bollies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineaplepopup Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 ive herd that zigs in winter are a fantastic way forward what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezza Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Is a zig rig basicaly a bolt rig but with a long hook link with a pop up? So if you wanted to fish mid water and the lake was 6 feet deep you would use a 3 feet lengh of hook link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidyboy02 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks... just think it is easier to tie up rigs in the warm at home and get the rigs perfect than try and make the up at the lake freezin cold.. plus gives u more time to fish.....

tidyboy02 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 on pole winders, and mark on the side of them the size of hook, depth type and bs of line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 yeah its a great idea, never used a zig so im gonna make some up for next year when i start going propely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plebhead Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 regarding zig rigs, personally ive only dabbled with them, and ended up changing over to a bottom bait within a few hours (lack of confidence) i guess, must give them a proper go, what i was wondering is how to go about fishing zigs at depths of 40/50/60 ft? i mean a 20/30ft hooklength would be a reet [censored] to cast. wouldn't it?

Have say 4-5 ft of hooklink to a swivel then have a clear small float and then fish with a running rig. cast out and tighten everything down then. loosen clutch and hand pull line until ur at the dept you want. if you want to be spot on mark on your rod 1 - 2 ft mark near your reel this makes it easier to count...
