Is it just me or am i doing something wrong, i seem to lose a lot of fish on zigs, have been tying them the same as Tom Maker and others but they always end up coming off a few minutes into the battle. Anyone got any tips
It’s not just you—losing fish on zigs can be quite common. A few factors could be causing it:
- Hook Size & Sharpness – Ensure you’re using a sharp, appropriately sized hook for the fish you’re targeting.
- Hook Holds – Zigs often hook fish in different parts of the mouth, sometimes leading to more losses. Checking your rig mechanics and sharpening hooks can help reduce this.
If you’re consistently losing fish, it might be worth tweaking your setup slightly—small changes can make a big difference!
