How to tie a Zig Rig rig and how to use it on the pond when fishing for carp

When
fishing for carp, it is important to correctly determine the depth at which it will bite well. Zig rig rigging will allow you to find it and ensure a good catch. To use this rig effectively, you need to know how it works, how to properly assemble the zig rig and how to use it on the pond.

Zig rig device

Zig rig has such a device:

1. There is a sinker on the line. It allows you to plunge the tackle to the desired depth.
2. An anti-twist tube comes from it. A special float for a zig rig is attached at its second end.
3. A leash with a hook and a floating bait is attached to it.

This design allows you to fish for carp at a certain depth.

Most often, half-banana hooks are used for this tackle. Their distinctive features are a curved fore-end and a relatively large goatee. This type of hook allows you to hook the carp with even a little movement. Half-bananahooks :
Another type of hook for this rig features a wide mouth. If those that have an outwardly bent eyelet are used, they are used with stiffer leads. These hooks have the most optimal angle of attack. Outward-bent hooks:
Size # 8-10 is usually preferred. When using large hooks, use large nozzle balls. When fishing with a zig rig, it is important that the nozzle lifts the hook up. Choosing the right material for the leash is important. Those are sold that are designed specifically for the zig rig. Their important feature is that such gear does not get tangled or twisted. A transparent monofile is used as a material for manufacturing. The invisibility of the line plays an important role in attracting fish. A 3-4 ounce lead will work best. They make it possible to accurately make long casts and reliably fix the fishing spot. There are two main types of such tackle: fixed length or adjustable length. Each of them has its own characteristics. We
fixed the following advantages:

1. It is convenient to experiment with different types of equipment in it. This allows you to choose the appropriate option in an insufficiently defined situation.
2. Since a simpler and more reliable design is used, the tackle can be cast over a greater distance without the risk of tangling.

The disadvantage is that this tackle is more difficult to use for fishing at great depths compared to the other option.
The adjustable zig rig allows you to easily change the depth of carp fishing by adjusting the position of the float. Its disadvantage is the high risk of entanglement. A standard purchased kit for mounting zig rigs is as follows:

When using such a tackle

When fishing for carp, the correct determination of the depth of the horizon, on which it is currently standing, plays an important role in getting a good catch. Usually, it is difficult or impossible to predict the best choice of depth. If the atmospheric pressure is higher than normal, then this fish should be looked for in the upper layers of the water. In such a situation, bottom carp fishing will not be successful. The use of a floating nozzle allows you to precisely set the desired fishing depth. By changing it, you can try to catch different horizons. After making several attempts, it will be possible to roughly determine the most suitable depth. When determining the prospective fishing depth, you need to take into account the temperature and oxygen content in different layers of the water. Carp is a fish with difficult to predict behavior. It is generally believed that in rainy weather it will feed at the bottom,and in a good one it will look for food in the water column. However, such predictions may not be completely reliable. A more accurate answer can be obtained by fishing different horizons with the help of a zig rig.

In this case, the uniform temperature distribution in accordance with the depth will be violated. In this situation, the best way to find the right depth is also to use a zig rig. It should be borne in mind that during the day, carps can change the most convenient horizon for them.

Features of the choice of attachments

When assembling the tackle, floating nozzles will be used. The most effective is the use of
floating pop-up boilies , foam balls, and colored foam.

For the attachment, you need to choose the right color. Usually they use bright options: white, blue, lemon yellow or orange. Accurate color matching is possible only through experience. It is important to make sure in advance that the nozzle will float with the selected hook. This can be checked in advance at home. When choosing a foam, it is necessary to take into account the degree of its buoyancy and density. On the question of whether it is necessary to give the nozzle a smell, there is no unequivocal opinion. Some of the fishermen believe that this is not necessary, while others are actively experimenting with the use of various options. For this purpose, for example, you can use hemp or flaxseed oil, or all kinds of dips. Lures can be artificial or natural. In the latter case, foam pieces or similar items are additionally used to ensure good buoyancy.

Lure

For fishing to be successful, it is important to get the
bait right. It is believed that particles must be present in it, which easily float up, forming a cloud of turbidity. The composition must include oils and fragrances. The starter feed contains 10-15 tennis balls. Carp are fed in places with a depth of 5-8 meters. It is desirable that a small current be present in this place. For throwing balls of bait, slingshots or spombs are used. It is important to act in such a way that the trail from the bait appears simultaneously on several water horizons.

Fishing tactics

After starting feeding, you need to accurately throw the rig to the prepared places. Before casting, the rig is placed on the ground. Then they turn their backs to her and perform a smooth cast. During the movement, jerks must be excluded. If present, the tackle can easily get tangled. The casting distance must be ensured by the appropriate weight of the lead. With the right rigging, it can be up to 100 meters. After casting all the gear, you should expect bites. You cannot draw conclusions based on just one or two minutes of waiting and rebuild the tackle to the appropriate depth. First you need to check the given water horizon well.

Experienced fishermen keep records of location, depth, time of day and weather when biting. From such records, they can get an important hint for fishing.

If the body of water is deep, it can be difficult to find the most suitable horizon. Making the bait attractive and providing the right scent will help attract fish even from other depths. The bait will create a loop for them, along which they can quickly find the bait. With this mounting, it can be difficult to fish for less experienced fishermen. This is because a long leash is usually used. When the fish is brought to the shore, it beats. At the same time, the lead jumps and beats, creating a strong load on the line, creating the risk of breakage. In such cases, the rod tip should be lowered lower. By loosening the tension on the line, the fish can be gradually worn out. In this case, the movement of the lead will be less vigorous.

Some tips for fishing with a rig

To fish, you need to have a supply of several zigrigs. This saves time while fishing. You need to use weights that are heavy enough so that they are not blown away from the exact place of fishing. When throwing the rig from the ground, it can catch on or get confused. If the hook hits the stone during the cast, it can become dull. To eliminate these problems, the rig is placed on a tablecloth or small mat. The relatively large length of the float allows the carp to swim with the hook without giving a signal to bite. The fisherman must keep a close eye on the
signaling device . Often, only one movement is already a signal that it is time to hook. It is recommended to use a rigid rod for this rig.
for fishing at a distance of over 70 meters. With a casting distance of up to 60 meters, this parameter is not decisive.
