NASH Run Lead Clip Zig Kit

Product benefits

The NASH Run Lead Clip Zig Kit is an adjustable zig system for carp fishing designed to offer an ultra-versatile presentation and maximum fish safety. This kit allows you to position the bait at different heights in the water column to target carp that feed mid-water or near the surface—areas where conventional rigs often fish less effectively.

At the heart of the setup is a sliding lead clip specially engineered to lock on the line under tension, while allowing the line to run freely when the running line is slack. You can therefore pay out line to let the zig float rise, or retrieve line to lower the assembly and precisely adjust fishing depth.

This system was developed to combine performance and safety: on the take the lead clip locks and allows the lead to detach if snagged in weed or on obstacles. The fish then remains attached only to the rig and the mainline, drastically reducing the risk of snagging and injury. The Run Lead Clip Zig Kit thus meets the demands of modern carp anglers concerned with fish welfare.

Technical specifications

• Complete adjustable zig system for carp fishing, including the essential components to assemble an effective zig rig.
• Sliding lead clip that lets the line run freely when tension is low and automatically locks on contact.
• Designed to release the lead if snagged, increasing safety in weed, debris, or near obstacles.
• Zig float specifically designed to rise in the water column and keep the bait at the desired height throughout the session.
• Continuous depth adjustment by paying out or retrieving line from the reel without re-tying the rig.
• System suitable for carp zig rigs using buoyant baits (foam, pop-ups, or artificial baits) for a natural mid-water presentation.
• Compatible with most mainlines commonly used in carp fishing, and designed following recommended rigging practices.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of this NASH adjustable zig kit is its ability to quickly explore all water layers. Rather than increasing the number of rods or rigs, the angler simply adjusts the amount of line left to the zig float. In seconds, you can switch from bottom fishing to a near-surface presentation, allowing you to follow fish activity throughout the day.

The Run Lead Clip Zig Kit also provides high stealth. The lead stays on the bottom while the bait moves at distance, reducing carp wariness in clear or heavily fished waters. The combination of a dedicated zig float and a sliding clip ensures controlled drift and presentation stability, even in light current or wind.

Finally, the safety aspect is a major strength. The ability to release the lead if snagged reduces the risk of line breakage and fish being trapped on obstacles. This "safe" behavior is part of a responsible carp fishing approach, preserving fish welfare and reducing the amount of tackle lost in the water.

Usage advice

To get the most from the NASH Run Lead Clip Zig Kit, start by choosing a spot where you suspect carp are feeding mid-water, such as a windblown area, a submerged shelf, or a sunny margin. Build a classic carp zig rig with a hooklink length suited to the water depth, using a well-balanced buoyant bait.

After baiting if necessary, cast to the desired distance. Let the lead settle on the bottom, then ease the reel's drag to allow the zig float to rise. By gradually paying out line you adjust the fishing depth: the more line you give, the closer the bait moves to the surface. Conversely, by retrieving line you lower the float and position the bait nearer the bottom.

Watch your bite alarm and indicators closely. When a carp takes the bait, the sliding lead clip locks onto the line, ensuring direct transmission of the take to the lead and an effective hook hold. If the rig snags in weed or on an obstacle, the system allows the lead to free, making the fight easier and reducing the risk of losing the fish.

To optimize results, vary depth several times during the session and adapt the size, shape, and color of your buoyant baits according to water clarity and fishing pressure. The adjustable zig system is most effective when used dynamically to continuously follow carp activity.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this zig system suitable for heavily snagged waters?

Answer: Yes, the Run Lead Clip Zig Kit is designed to minimize the risk of long-term snags. If the rig gets caught in weed or near an obstacle, the lead can detach, helping to recover the fish and reducing the risk of line breakage—provided the rig is properly balanced and the mainline is appropriate.

Question 2: Do I need to re-tie the rig to change fishing depth?

Answer: No, this is one of the major advantages of this adjustable zig system for carp. Simply pay out or retrieve line at the reel to raise or lower the zig float. You can quickly test multiple layers of the water column during a single session without re-tying.

Question 3: Is this kit suitable for beginners to zig rigging?

Answer: Yes, the NASH Run Lead Clip Zig Kit is designed to be easy to set up. By following basic rules on hooklink length, choosing a buoyant bait, and gradually adjusting depth, even an angler new to zig fishing can enjoy a safe and effective rig.
