Hi
Can anybody help with the way to use these as I can't find any information or anything on YouTube.
I've got the multi blocks which I've had for years and use with chains and normal swingers but wanting to use adjustable Zigs so thinking tight lines will be best way under tension

Also which would be the best head and clip set up for this also from matrix

Cheers

Used them years ago with hot head bobbins, set up as you would when clipping your bobbin on and tension the arm by pushing it down till you get the required tension then just lock it at the block.

Not sure about the Matrix heads and clips but i've used Defiant MPS Multi Heads (they're now called HS Mag Heads) for years with the compressor arms. Can't fault them and use them for distance and river fishing abroad.

As said, just turn the wheel round in the multi block so you can lock it in position and adjust to the tension you need.

Bear in mind any bobbin tension will drag the adjustable zig down so you need to account for that when setting depth.

I love these, you don't have to use them as a tension arm swinger either, you have the option as a very lightweight swing arm indicator.

Cheers for the replies
Hadn't really thought about if using adjustable zig it will pull it back down if set up under tension
So would my hot head bobbin's be ok with the ball clips ? Or dinky hot heads be better

Cheers again

I just use standard bobbins with all the weights removed mate. Works ok.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
