Nash Run Lead Clip Zig Kit | Gerry’s Fishing

Take total control of your upper-layer presentation with the Nash Run Lead Clip Zig Kit. Widely regarded as the most versatile and safest adjustable zig system ever developed, this kit solves the age-old problem of fishing zigs in weedy or snaggy environments. Whether you’re searching for fish at varying depths or need a system that guarantees lead ejection upon a take, this kit is the professional’s choice for zig fishing.

Product Details and Uses

The most versatile and safest adjustable zig system yet. The unique curved Run Clip locks in position on the line under tension, but allows a slack line to freely pass through it. To adjust the depth your Zig Float is fishing, feed line out from the reel to let the float rise, or gently tighten the line to submerge the float and fish deeper.

When a carp is hooked, the Run Clip locks—for the first time allowing a lead to be ejected from a free-running system for ultimate safety in weed or snags. This ingenious design means you no longer have to compromise between the efficiency of an adjustable float and the safety of a lead-clip system. It’s perfect for those days when carp are cruising the mid-depths and you need to “search” the water column without reeling in and spooking the swim.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Finding the ‘Feeding Zone’: Start with your float just 2 feet under the surface. If you don’t get a bite within 20 minutes, let out 2 feet of line to drop the float deeper. Keep repeating this every 20-30 minutes. Once you get a take, you’ve found the exact depth the fish are cruising at! With this kit, you can make those adjustments in seconds without ever moving your lead.

Examples of Where to Use

• Deep Venues: Ideal for lakes where the water is too deep for fixed zig rigs (15ft+), allowing you to adjust the float from the bottom to the surface easily.

• Weedy Lakes: Most adjustable systems are dangerous in weed because the lead stays on; this kit allows the lead to pop off, ensuring you don’t lose the fish in a weed bed.

• Varying Weather Conditions: When the sun comes out and the fish rise, or when the wind picks up and they drop deeper, you can follow their movement instantly from the bank.

FAQs

Q: How does the lead eject if it’s a free-running system? **A: ** The Run Clip features a unique curve. Under the steady tension of a hooked fish, the clip “bites” onto the line, creating a fixed point that allows the tail rubber to slide off and release the lead, just like a standard lead clip.

Q: Does it tangle easily during the cast?A: No. Because the float and lead are concentrated at the end of your line, it casts very much like a standard lead-clip setup. Just ensure you use a slightly longer “drop” when casting to keep everything smooth.

Q: Can I use any lead with this kit?A: Yes,
