Zig Aligner Kits

Description

The kits include 10 of each zig aligners and foam barrels plus an assembly tool. Using zig rigs can be a deadly tactic through the winter and spring or pretty much any time of year when the carp are feeding in the mid to upper layers of the water – during high pressure conditions or when fly hatches are occurring. The zig aligners are designed to be used with size 8 or 10 hooks and help improve hooking efficiency and hook holds. The foam barrels provide the required buoyancy and can be sprayed with liquid flavours to further improve attraction. The loop on the aligner is a snug fit on the foam barrel but the tool included makes the assembly process very simple. The small hole on the loop can be used for flossing on maggots or bright material like foil or tinsel to gain extra bites when it’s tough going. The kits are available in three colours: all black, black and red and black and yellow.

Field Notes

Use zig aligner kits when carp are feeding in the mid-to-upper water layers, including during winter and spring. Assemble the zig aligners onto the buoyant foam barrels, then use the loop/hole for flossing bright materials (e.g., foil/tinsel) or maggots to improve bite rates under high pressure or during fly hatches.

Pros

  • Improves hooking efficiency and hook holds with size 8 or 10 hooks
  • Foam barrels add buoyancy for zig rigs
  • Includes an assembly tool for quick setup
  • Loop hole allows flossing with bright materials or maggots for extra bites

Cons

  • Designed specifically for zig rig setups (not a general-purpose carp accessory)
  • Best results depend on carp feeding higher in the water column
