Down here on my home lakes Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn you'd be hard pressed to see anyone without at least 1 Carolina rig on their front deck. I alway found it funny several years ago to present day when you hear a lot of the pros or KZbinrs say how much they hate this rig or how stupid it is. I've caught more fish and big fish along with a few double digits on this rig then anything else and it's worked on every body of water I've ever been on. I have at least 1 tied up on my front deck 365 days a year. Sometimes I'll have 2 or 3 with different size or style of weights and plastics. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

Who doesn’t love probing shallow and deep with a ball and chain... 😂 love the episode.

[@johnjenkins6782]

Great tutorial brother

[@garylaney1333]

Another good teaching video, you have the best energy, like it a lot.

[@larryl9108]

Was out yesterday with one and a lizard. Yes I'm older lol. I love this stuff.

[@barryhowell9]

Other than a Texas Rig, this was one of the first rigs my father taught me. #stillslays #ike

[@joeperales7293]

Cool Daddy-O 😎👍💈

[@hu-613]

Stoked for the 3.0 rods .

[@flaminggorilla909]

Thats funny. Im 25 and i was talking to my dad the other day about using wome older baits that people seem to have just forgotten about. I dont think i ever used a carolina rig but i always remember my dad using it when i was a kid. This is the aign i needed definitely gonna tie one on this week.

[@erichoffman2014]

ya I'm old and I'm going to fish a Carolina rig tomoro!

[@badcrispy3933]

Didn’t forget. I like to fish walleyes with the old ball and chain, my wife is there as well.

[@enonek2960]

I remember seeing this rig and buying the set-up with brass weights and 2 red/orange beads decades ago. Still have it unopened in my old tackle box. I'll have to bust it out and try it.

[@FishingwithAllyG]

The ole ball and chain! DO it!!! This is my fave for a new spot. lets you really feel the bottom. It helps you call out those fish.

[@user-ro5rl5et5i]

Actually have one tied on a rod for this week.

[@jamesjustice7679]

Great video Mike thanks for sharing 🎣🎣

[@G-xi6ib]

Lets goo!!!! Lol hahah. Looking forward to episode

[@vansaukam799]

LMAO...I have a older fishing buddy, whenever he takes me out, he has 3-5 rods all rigged up the same with a 1oz C-Rig with a Zoom Z-craw, and 20lb Fluoro. He always catches them that's for sure.

[@dgroves85]

I love the spaz moments!

[@Exploremorefishing]

I always use this rig in saltwater fishing

[@tommylagebro3458]

[@martymooney8099]

Good luck on these last two events hoping to see you with good finishes and just want to say if they would limit FFS Ike would be cashing checks in just about every tournament

[@jasonlopez4855]

Tungsten is the best one for Carolina rig how about steel or brass and not lead weight going to try it out 👊🏼

[@Shawn_Lai]

Ive heard people use a jig instead of a weight because so many fish hit the weight instead of the lure. Thoughts?

[@1lastcast416]

Love the detail. Ty. Can you do one on a drop shit if you haven’t??

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

I HAVE!!!

Hi

HI!

[@7michael7getachew7]

@@mikeiaconellifishing Can i ask you honestly? if my reel's drag is 18lbs max then why would i ever use line heavier than about 20 lb test since the drag will give out before the line will?

[@benclark1376]

Mike you forget that a lot of us regular fishermen don't have all that expensive electronics. We have at most two graphs on the boat. Not three on the front and two at the wheel like the pros.

[@adammitchell3462]

You don't need electronics to fish a c rig, I do it all the time.

[@Shawn_Lai]

Carolina rig is the original sonar... you don't need a graph to fish it although it might help!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

No electronics needed for the Carolina rig!

[@adammitchell3462]

@@mikeiaconellifishing hey Mike,I've fished all my life but never touched an abu Garcia combo until recently and I'm blown away by the performance. That black max combo casted better than a lot of my hi end equipment... incredible that they can make something like that as cheap as they do.

[@vansaukam799]

Jitterbug, Floating Rapala, Silver Minnow, Hawaiian Wiggler, Creme pre-harnessed prop rubber worm...?!? What-it-be?!?

[@pdubtk421]

How about the big O? Or the mud bug?
