The Goddard Zig Rig
================================================================================

I have been using this version of the Zig Rig for some years, says Chris
Goddard, usually with my own version of the bread roll rig.

I usually use this rig with my own version of the bread roll rig. I have been
using it for some years and have caught several fish with it.
I can see the awkwardness of the way the zig rig usually seems to be used, but
this is such a simple solution I wonder if there is something wrong with it
Silicone tubing has been omitted for clarity.
From the right:
*A stop-knot tied on the line. 	*A small plastic bead to hit the knot. 	* An
ordinary buffer bead to stop the leger ring passing over the small ball. 	*Leger
ring with weak link to allow the lead to beak off 	*Another buffer bead (to
allow easy switch-over to leger rig if you want to, by breaking off the cork
ball) 	* Swivel and long fluorocarbon hooklength (for bread roll rig)

About the Rigs Page
*The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will
be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers. 	*The rigs can be extremely
simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn't matter
providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.
	*It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate
seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the
experienced carp angler would like to see. 	*If you wish to contribute a rig to
this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than
words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to
