How To Tie An Adjustable Zip Rig Step By Step

Step 1: Thread the little ledger stem up your mainline

Step 2: On the bottom of the ledger stem line add your choice of weight/ lead.

Step 3: Then thread your float on.

Step 4: Tie your quick-change swivel on and pull into the end of the float

Step 5: Make your look like around 3ft long, using a low diameter, discreet hooklink.

Step 6: On one end of your hooklink, add a trimmed down pop-up (or your hookbait of choice) using a knotless knot, keeping the hair very close to the hook.

Step 7: On the other end of your hooklink, add an anti-tangle sleeve and a large figure of 8 loop, making changing hooklinks nice and easy!

Step 8: Fish your rig about a foot below the surface and it will be only a matter of time before they are hooked!
