Advantages and Strengths of the Rigge Flat Zip Baits
The Rigge Flat Zip Baits distinctly stands out for its exceptional performance under difficult fishing conditions, especially in fast currents. Its greatest strength is its ability to present a realistic and natural swim even in the most tumultuous currents, which is crucial to spark curiosity and trigger the attack of salmonids. Its incredible stability is ensured by its flat sides which offer quick and tight swimming, fully in harmony with the natural movements of an injured fish.
Its absolute silence during the cast also constitutes a decisive advantage against salmonids highly sensitive to unusual noises. The patented mass transfer system "Mag Drive" optimizes both discretion and allows precise, long-distance casting, essential for effectively prospecting distant spots without scaring the fish.
Usage Tips and Recommended Rigs for the Rigge Flat
To fully benefit from the Rigge Flat Zip Baits, it is recommended to use it with dynamic animation punctuated by short pauses, allowing the lure to sink slowly to present a more natural action. A quick retrieve interspersed with a few short pauses perfectly replicates the behavior of weakened prey carried by the current, which can be particularly effective on active but wary fish.
Regarding the rig, the Rigge Flat Zip Baits works perfectly with a discreet fluorocarbon leader to ensure a subtle presentation of the lure. A lightweight jig head or a thin snap is ideal to preserve the lure's freedom of movement and adjust the action precisely according to the encountered conditions.
Expert Testimonials on the Rigge Flat Zip Baits
“As an experienced wild trout angler, I immediately adopted the Rigge Flat upon its release. I am particularly impressed by its exceptional ability to handle strong currents without detaching, even when the drift becomes tricky. It has clearly become my favorite swimbait when fishing in fast and technical rivers. Its realistic and stable swimming truly makes a difference: in April last year, shortly after its launch, I reeled in several great catches under tough conditions, where other lures had previously failed. Zip Baits delivers a significant success here for sport fishing for salmonids.” Julien, specialist salmonid angler for over 15 years.FAQ and Additional Information on the Rigge Flat Zip Baits
