What adjustable zig set up do you use... what's more suitable for long range work, up to 100yds.
I have seen the korda and fox online and on videos. Any plus and negatives with either?
I like that the fox float has a shoulder to support the weight of the lead on the cast to prevent line damage if long casting.
I can make a boom section and use a fox rage pike sub float that has a rubber section to push a hooklength swivel into, but not sure if the sub float is durable enough for long range casting.

I haven't used the new fox zig floats .
I have used the original ones and the smaller ones they brought after.
I found these to cast Better than the korda ones.
One thing with adjustable zigs is undertow effecting the depth your fishing at.

Deepest I zig fished with adjustable floats was 40ft.

It's an art that takes slot of effort to get it right.

the fox one, i got a few of these when they first came out and i've never had a tangle, used them up to 70/80 yards and they're spot on

I've been using the ridgemonkey zyggo, I have found it less hassle than the typical style adjustable zig. Still occasional tangles but that's just the fun of zigs

These are great up to about 100yds. I found that they separate on the cast for anything much further
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
