The innovative adjustable zig system features a unique curved Run Clip that securely locks in place under tension while permitting the line to slide freely when slack, allowing for effortless depth adjustments by feeding line out to raise the Zig Float or tightening it to lower the float for deeper fishing. Upon hooking a carp, the Run Clip engages, enabling lead ejection from the free-running setup, enhancing safety in weedy or snag-prone environments.
