    3 years ago, I started throwing a carolina rig, on my spinning rod. I have a G-Loomis split shot rod, and I put a 1/2 oz weight followed by 2 bobber stops, then my size 3 offset shank hook. I keep the weight about 12-15 inches seperation. and at Lake of the Ozarks,, its made me a better fisherman.

    Carolina rigs take to much time to rig and require to much tackle to be worth it to me. Its just a bottom dragging rig that keeps the lure higher up in the water column and the bait only stays off the bottom if you are using a boyant lure otherwise its just dragging the bottom behind the weight. Power fishing a drop shot achieves the same results as a Carolina rig with the ability to keep even non floating lures off the bottom since the weight of the drop shot is rigged below the lure. The drop shot is less tackle and less time to rig and Id argue it has a more natural presentation in the water because again the heavier weight is rigged at the bottom of the bait.

      Yep. And C-rigs are tricky to cast, especially with long leaders. Gimme a drop shot every time. Although, I guess the C-rig is good for covering water and fishing "horizontally," whereas the DS is for "vertical" fishing. So, I guess I need to rethink that.

      C-rigs won’t take you that long to rig if you practice tieing line. Takes no more time to set up vs braid to floro

      Whats funny is I fish probably 5 hours a day min between 5-7 days a week..
      I've taken every single popular rig set up and combined and mixed it to random crazy things and I've caught nice big fish on every single one and I've not caught fish on every single one normal or mixed up so really you're wrong about it all. Go when the fish are biting and you'll catch fish, and go when they aren't biting and you'll not catch fish. Don't be a freaking nerd and a know it all because I proved they'll bit anything any way as long as they're biting

    I live close to the Harris Chain. Do you think I’d do better with a Carolina rig in deep water towards the center of one of the lakes? Or would I do better to use the lipless crank baits in the canals and around docks? Thanks.

      Use the Carolina rigs on the canals and around the docks!! Big bass aren't as deep in the water as you might think. Crank baits work well but are a little trickier

    I've been trying out the Carolina rig while trout fishing as of late. I put a mono leader from the swivel to the bait and I've had minimal problems with snagging thanks to the floating characteristics of the mono. I'm using super light hooks and baits, so it definitely helps. I'm gonna try this out more this year with bass baits

    Using tungsten, you may want to try Snelling your Texas rig to keep the weight from destroying the knot.

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  2 года назад

    • @fullsendfishing2363
      @fullsendfishing2363 Год назад +2

      You can also use a bobber stop between the weight and knot to protect it.
      The snell works well, especially with straight shanked hooks and in closer quarters

  • @L33TZER
    @L33TZER 5 месяцев назад +1

    why would you use a lighter lb on your leader? isn't the whole point of the leader to protect your main line? so wouldnt you want it to be a heaver lb test? if you used a lighter lb you'd, in theory risk losing the whole rig if a fish DID happen to get on due to it just naturally being weaker than the rest of your line

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  5 месяцев назад

      Great question! There is actually many different purposes for leaders. As you pointed out many leaders are intended to be stronger than main line (sometimes made of steel) which is primarily an effort to eliminate breakage due to toothy species like pike. In bass fishing there is little need to have a leader that is stronger than the main line because the primary purpose of a leader for bass is to use a leader material that is less visible than say braided main line, so more often than not we use lighter leaders than the mainline. The big key is to always make tackle choices based on the weight of your leader and not the main line to reduce breakage or other failures.
