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.
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.
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!
Yep there's nothing more exciting as watching a fish taking bait from the surface. And 80's was the best era in fishing mate. No fancy gears and hi-tech stuff. We had to put our brains in it and figure it out for ourselves, and that's exactly why we felt super satisfied.. cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
@@fishingtutorials it was a hard session but had 2 on zig rig 12lb and 16lb commons, thank you for your reply, your videos are the the reason I’m back into carp fishing 👍
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!
can you do a video on pike lures and lure fishing in general not long started fishing. went carp fishing the weekend caught 2 nice carp. just wanna say love what guys do i respect it helped me out a lot but really wanna get on the rivers. keep up the good work carl and alex tight lines!
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..
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.
There’s a budget one which is really neat and safe, coming out soon from Korda. We’ve got one of the first ones and it’s perfect, I think they are out next month. Look out for the Basix range...
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.
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.
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

Same dude I got all the bits just not bloody grown a pair and gone for it think it's time I did aswell mate hope it works for you

love you guys.
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.
I did not need this tutorial but I do need Carl and Alex!
Thanks
Definitely gunna give this a try next time! Is there anyway you can make an adjustable zig with without a zig kit?
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
Nice❤
That's guys it's always fun
What kind of Unhooking Mats/cradles would you recommend for a beginner carp angler? Thanks👍
Get a cradle mate or a good mat don’t skimp out if u get a mat but ngt does good cradles depends on fish tbh
@@HG-lu1ym thanks mate👍
Just starting?
There’s a budget one which is really neat and safe, coming out soon from Korda. We’ve got one of the first ones and it’s perfect, I think they are out next month. Look out for the Basix range...
Hi dear, i like ❤️ it urs guidence ideas, i want to do this type methods
Where its availeble this metirials.....
Very nice
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.
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?
What are your thoughts on fixed v adjustable zig rigs?
When using foam how big of a piece do you recommend? Hook size i use is 6/8
thanks ;D
Can you guys fo a combi rig vid i want to fish it but I need more information
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.
Is this the same as ledgering? I move only float fished I’m going to start using leads soon
It's a type of ledgering :)
@@fishingtutorials thanks, best fishing channel out there!
Ah thanks so much!! :)
Hi guys, do you have any idea when the catfish tips are coming out on this channel?
Soon! Working on that video now!
@@fishingtutorials awesome thanks!
What fishing group are you guys part of ??
not part of a group :)
Dumb question but instead if a baitstop, would a grain if rice work?
It might get wet and go soft and come off, but it would work for a short while probably!
A piece of grass or a small twig
hello do i need a shock leader if im fishing at 20-70 meters ?
No longer witchcraft, thanks guys 👍😎😉
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
Zig rigs you either love them or hate them!
My main question is WHEN to fish zigs over the bottom rigs… ???? Seasons ???
All year round homie
can I use fake corn on a zig rig?
Hi
Hi ben
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
Anyone else think Carl and Alex are cutting the baitstop at the wrong point ?
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.
Bread floater pellet maybe zigs just under the surface build up their confidence
Try free line bread off the surface if you can't tie a rig
I’ve your vids do a colab with catfish and carp
Just yesterday I was on a lake and saw a dude catch tons of carps
Using zig rig of course, keep up the great work, best carp fishing channel proving it isn't complicated
So.. what happens when your main line breaks, it aint fish friendly
First
Thats not a zig rig. It‘s better when its adjustable like this one -> ruclips.net/video/gtWPElodfMM/видео.html
