You are both brilliant at explaining the numerous carp fishing bits and pieces. The simple explanation of the marker float was 👍👍👍👍

The first time I ever did this was at the roach pond in Lindfield when I was a kid in the 80s. All the small carp were cruising near the surface. I was mind blown when it actually worked!

0:48 Great diagram! And a great vid as well! Keep the content coming!

These videos are so helpful it’s a joke

Thanks Alex. I’ve watched 1000 videos on fishing a zig rig properly (I’m from the US and fishing with different carp rigs is still a foreign concept), but your video finally started to make sense to me.

Thanks for constantly bringing us informative and entertaining videos.👍🏻

Thankyou so much for the video! These tutorials are making it much easier for me to get onto the bank with more confidence! 😄

Been waiting for this vid for so long, explanations are so relatable unlike so many other vids that are over complicated cheers 👍

Going to try this today thanks

Very precise explanation, thanks for enlightening me.

Awesome video again. So easy to understand and takes the mystery out of this style of fishing 👍

My mate Terry even uses the zig rig for sea fishing as it helps keep is bait away from crabs etc. Love this channel as even I can understand the simple, concise instructions.

Cheers guys, zigs are my next thing to try, cleared up the questions I had 👍

Clear as always, great work lads!

What a video guys awesome as a fisherman I have the utmost respect for you guys love from south Africa

Thank you Carl and Alex for the amazing video

Hmmm if jackfrost is your local, have you guys ever fished Monk lake in Crawley Down? Full of Ghosties which were around 3 to 6 pound 25 years ago. The lake is in the grounds of the Monestry :) back then my best mate an me were the only ones fishing it..

I’ve recently started fishing after a 5 year layoff, therefore these videos are a great refresher! 🙌🏼

Going to be giving this ago beginning of August I'm going to a lake you've both fished before up in Bridgenorth called Angles lake!! You were perch fishing I'm carping 😎 lol but ill be giving this a go for sure!! Cheers guys!

Never tired zig rigs, but after watching this video i will give it a go :)

Great video lads. I’ve re learnt so much from you both. Thank you.

Perfect tuition as always 👍🏻 Oscar is missing your company already 🤩

Excellent video. Really well presented and produced. I'm new to fishing (or should I say "late"?) and these tutorials are helping me so much.

Thank you for all the information, teacher.. I will try it in Indonesia.

Great work .explained it very well will be trying this method soon 👍

Hi, I think it would be great to see a video, what baits-ground baits to use, and how to choose your baits and ground baits for different kinds of ponds. And I have a question, is hempseed good for ground bait for carp.

Thanks so much great explanation

So in theory you could use a normal float with lead each side and a heavy lead next to it and start feeding the line till it surfaces?

Hey great video,quick question,can i use braid?

Great video guys helped me to catch my first ever carp today but I ended up actually catching it on a floating dog bisquit in the end lol

Love your videos they are so helpful, going to use the info from this video to tie and use my 1st zig rig tomorrow, fingers crossed 🙂

Superb as always.

I did not need this tutorial but I do need Carl and Alex!

Definitely gunna give this a try next time! Is there anyway you can make an adjustable zig with without a zig kit?

Hi dear, i like ❤️ it urs guidence ideas, i want to do this type methods Where its availeble this metirials.....

Dear Carl and Alex Again a great video. Thank you for this. I was wondering if you fish zig rigs close together. Is it a good idea to get the rods close together on different depths to find where the fish are or is this asking for tangles? Kind regards.

When using foam how big of a piece do you recommend? Hook size i use is 6/8

What kind of Unhooking Mats/cradles would you recommend for a beginner carp angler? Thanks👍

Thanks

awesome video again! thanks!

Is it better to fish it semi fixed? Or free running using a adjustable zig float? I've tried both only thing I've caught is a big Kat on a semi fixed rig.

Can you guys fo a combi rig vid i want to fish it but I need more information

What are your thoughts on fixed v adjustable zig rigs?

That's guys it's always fun

Nice❤

love you guys.

Very nice

another good vid but if you get more intrested in sea fishing you can do a tutorial about that BUT YEA THANKS FOR ANOTHER awsome vid

thanks ;D

hello do i need a shock leader if im fishing at 20-70 meters ?

Is this the same as ledgering? I move only float fished I’m going to start using leads soon

My main question is WHEN to fish zigs over the bottom rigs… ???? Seasons ???

No longer witchcraft, thanks guys 👍😎😉

Hi

Hi guys, do you have any idea when the catfish tips are coming out on this channel?

Dumb question but instead if a baitstop, would a grain if rice work?

And the massive disadvantage to zigging on the surface is you’re not gonna be able to yank it out the way of a duck as quick as u can a float 😬 My lake is crammed with birds so this summer am aiming to zig a foot under the surface while still baiting with floaters, be interesting to see if there’s as many takes as being on the top. If the carp are focused on the surface baits however they mightn’t even spot a bait 1ft below, but at least the freakin ducks shouldn’t spot it and dive

Zig rigs you either love them or hate them!

What fishing group are you guys part of ??

can I use fake corn on a zig rig?

I have seen some big carps in a canal in spain and I don´t know how to fish them. they are in the top of the canal.

I’ve your vids do a colab with catfish and carp

Anyone else think Carl and Alex are cutting the baitstop at the wrong point ?

Just yesterday I was on a lake and saw a dude catch tons of carps

First

So.. what happens when your main line breaks, it aint fish friendly

Thats not a zig rig. It‘s better when its adjustable like this one -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gtWPElodfMM.html
