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

[@deehart9276]

It’s unbelievable how many 4lb-5lb bass I caught on a Carolina rig this year. Sweet Beaver and z-man hella craw💪🏾

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Probably the same here, mid twenties. Good skiing snow.

[@yentegoossens3244]

Here on europe we often use 1/4 ounce for T and C rigs

[@MichaelGerik]

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.

[@willperryman4559]

Hey Miles, I hope you guys had an incredible Christmas and everyone is keeping warm and cozy🔥 Glad you’re doing more videos and tips on terminal tackle and techniques. Of course I’ve got it from Seaguar, Hyabusa,and ZMAN 🤷🏻‍♂️😜🎣 I am registering for the Kerr/Buggs tournament as a coangler 🍀🎣🍀✊ there’s the Open, and a BFL and I can’t wait to learn. I’m in 2 clubs too, just to keep my lines tight😜🙌 Happy New Year 🎆🥳 and Best Success

Oh man Will, I hope I draw you at the Open! How cool would that be!

What is the best way to shore fish, using nightcrawlers in brushy and algal bloom reservoirs? Should I use nightcrawlers at all in those places?

First time viewer. Was a very good information video. Your explanation was excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@SonarFishing]

Thank you Donald, I am happy to have you as a new viewer. Glad you enjoyed it

[@anthonyb27]

Same, first timer, and new subscriber!

[@williamschneider6811]

I use monofilament on the leader to help the bait float a little more above the bottom.

[@TheBootyWrangler]

Man I was fishing my entire childhood and I really wish I took the time to learn all this shit. Back then I was much more interested in practicing my casts and using live bait I could collect myself and not have to pay for. Gotta get back into this since I have a son now and I’m overwhelmed 😂

[@SonarFishing]

Well I’m glad you’re getting back into it! Let me know if I can do any videos to help you and your son. Thanks for watching.

[@joelambert1676]

Good topic and well done.

[@alanbritt457]

I enjoy the info. on your vids, just want to know what the circumstances are that determine the leader length on the c-rig. Thanks

[@SonarFishing]

Great question. I will do a video on this soon.

[@alanbritt457]

@@SonarFishing 👍

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

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

[@SonarFishing]

Great idea! I don’t use a snell knot much anymore but could see how that could help.

[@fullsendfishing2363]

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

[@jacobsnow7982]

I would say if you are a starter if you ever want to do a Texas rig use it in the summer and if you ever go to a pond you should run weeds because I cut my PP by 6 pounds using it takes a waitlist to wait Texas rig in a pond

[@CS-wp5dz]

What size beads do you use usually?

[@ChristophercurtisChris]

I want to know could you do a video about if it Travers to put on a top water bugs bait I know you can use I know you can't use frogs on buzzfeeds but I want to know if you could use swimming's

[@jumbofish5182]

Great video. Thanks

[@SonarFishing]

Glad you liked it!

[@JAutomated]

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.

[@jaegerdunnick3587]

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

[@Garminrules]

Good job..

[@diversify210]

Carolina rigs are take to much time to rig and require to much different tackle to be worth it. Its just a bottom dragging rig that keeps the lure hire 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.

[@Schnazola]

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.

[@christophershelton1735]

I wonder why we don’t use something to protect the knot on a Texas rig.

[@chrisshaffer9572]

I like the fitzgerald balls idea but they break when I use a tungsten weight with them. Have you not had that issue? I am afraid when they break they are gonna knick my line. Just like using glass balls with tungsten.

[@SonarFishing]

I actually have not had this issue. I’ve had them “dent” but not chip creating sharp edges. Sorry to hear you’ve had issues.

[@niveetbandu4207]

So now, what's the major difference between the dropshot and calorina rig, apart from the rigging... Wouldn't the bait move almost the same?

[@LowBrowFishing]

I've honestly never been a huge fan of a Carolina rig. They just don't work well in super vegetated waters lime we have here. But if I ever get to fish a hard-bottom fishery, I really would like to put one to the test!
