Zig and Surface Fishing

Zig and surface fishing for carp

Zig fishing and surface fishing are active carp techniques for fish that are not feeding on the bottom. They can be very effective on warm days, in clear water and on pressured venues where a subtle presentation matters.

When to fish zigs or on the surface

Use zig rigs when carp are suspended in the water column, often in warmer weather or during periods of low bottom activity. Surface fishing is ideal when carp are cruising or feeding on top, especially when stealth and accurate presentation are important.

Build the right setup

Complete your setup with carp hooks, floating pop ups, balanced wafters and reliable carp rigs. Small changes in hookbait, depth and colour can make a major difference.
