hi there zigs work when the fish are not feeding off the bottom, work out the depth your fishing in and a zig will have your bait between the bottom and top off the lake, and you can set this up by finding what depth your fishing in and then decide what depth you want your bait,its a great rig when everyone is fishin off the bottom and not catchin,chuck it in mate ,just work your depths out first. get on zig/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
