How do carp react to zig rigs? (First takes ever filmed underwater)

Can we catch a carp with a zig rig for the first time ever in front of an underwater camera? After many years of trying, we finally succeed and hooked our first carp on the zig rig. After reviewing the footage, we found out that there was way more activity around the zig than we could ever imagine.

Wonder how many fish get foul hooked from Zigs after seeing this!?

[@JeromeMoisand]

Very cool experiment. And thank you for including the various fails, this makes the video much more instructive. Question: how high was the zig above the bottom?

[@Underfishing]

Thanks Jerome, around 30 cm below the surface with a depth of 2 meters.

Unieke opnames mannen!👍🏻 Ik zou graag eens i.p.v. dogbiscuits een sloppy spodmix over de zig willen zien, en kijken wat dan het gedrag van de karpers is.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

It's interesting that the fish ignored the red baits.

[@steva_nolimits]

Usually red maggots and pinkies are more attractive than white maggots so yes, it's interesting why red bait is ignored 🤔

[@Underfishing]

Indeed interesting, maybe something to dig deeper into.

[@BCBARRY69]

I think this was because they were smashing the dog biscuits when the red was in the water

[@nizari116]

@@Underfishing what was the weather? If its cloudy, shiny baits are better, if its sunny, dark colors are better (also white) 🙄

Thanks god you did this!!! Well done and thank you for your job guys! I've been waiting for such content for ages, i hope you keep going Zig

[@YZF_R6_2020]

would like to see the reaction of a total black pop/up the most popular color

[@Underfishing]

Good idea!

[@OutsidewithTom]

This was interesting, thanks for posting it.

[@Mooney_Tom]

How many did you catch on the zigs? Looks like a lot of fish not getting hooked.

[@donky75]

Looks like a lot of carp completely ignore zigs..

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

Love to see you do some big baits, 25mm, double 20mm, long hairs etc…

[@Underfishing]

Good ideas

[@SgtMalbac]

yeah good idea !!

[@T5Zplayer]

Excellent job. What time of year was this? depth of the zig? Big lake/small lake?

[@stigflambard9799]

moon phase effects what colour the fish are attracted to on that particular day.

[@StevenWren-du9ng]

Have you guys noticed that you catch more when they come from below the zig or above? It would help with setting the depth.

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Some great footage there!

[@Underfishing]

Thnx Martyn👊

[@thefaceman25]

Great insight to how carp react to Zigs, thanks for the footage ❤

[@marugoto-outdoor]

Nice movie😊🎉❗

[@lastcast8235]

They really want it but spook off last minute. Out of curiosity what size hook and line did you use.

[@Underfishing]

Hooksize 8 and a really thin line above the adjustable zig. I don't know the exact diameter, need to check that later.

[@nizari116]

@@Underfishing that hook is way too big in my opinion. For 2 reasons: 1. you unnecessarily hurt their very delicate 'muzzles' because smaller hook will work perfectly fine and 2. lower hook size has much less chance of spooking them ; Use 12 (or even 14 for such small carps as these), the point is your hook needs to be strong and solid. Trust me with this one and try it, I fish since 23 years, mostly with feeders 😜

good fishing..

[@Underfishing]

Thanks 👍

[@milanmozolic5493]

Hi,very nice...

[@petezzzz]

So according to this footage zigrigs suck?

[@Underfishing]

I see multiple takes, so I would say it can definitely be a good strategy.

[@SFearox]

Nou het vangt wel maar het is wel de slechtse rig kwa inhaking volgens mij

[@kroegbackyard]

Kwestie van andere haak en misschien iets dieper moeten zetten

[@fishingshorts87]

Amazing 🎉

[@Underfishing]

Thanks 😄

[@gwl78]

Good way to foul hook a fish or take their eye out.

[@duncanrichardson1322]

Thanks for this, proves exactly why so many fish get foul hooked and damaged by zigs....

[@RyanDel26]

Fish get foul hooked and caught on any rig you’re preaching

[@jordycz1]

Any data on this revelation? Never had an issue..
