lookinforwalleye Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Never tried Carolina rigging before what would you use as a bait. Thanks
The Urban Fisherman Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Never tried Carolina rigging before what would you use as a bait. Thanks you can use all kinds of things... I usually just use a big tube jig, Some guys use lizards or big worms...
PikeMolester Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I've used 10 inch ribbontails,crazy legs chigger craws and multiple goby baits hoping to catch a monster on St-Francis. But nothing yet. I ought to try tubes and lizards Edited July 12, 2010 by Canucker
Drew_10 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 You can use pretty much any soft plastic. Zoom lizards are popular, as are beaver baits. Experiment and try to match the hatch as best as possible. Using a straight shank worm hook as opposed to a wide gap hook will help make your rig more weedless.
fish-miester Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 if / when I use a carolina rig I use pretty much all the same baits I would as if I was fishing Texas rigged. depending on the weeds. less weeds.. the less weedless
Rattletrap2 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Gord, I would use pretty much any soft plastic. Lizards are of course most popular. Tubes would be good as well. Have you tried wacky rigging a "Senko" type worm on a circle hook?

OhioFisherman Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Like mentioned by others a lizard is usually the stand by bait on a Carolina rig. I have seen a variety of soft plastics used though, craws, tubes, and wide paddle tail worms. I usually went with a 6 inch zoom lizard.
singingdog Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 If you set up a texas rig with a eagle claw bobber stop in front of, and behind your worm sinker, you can easily convert it from a Trig to a Crig without retying. It's a great setup and one of the most versatile ways to fish soft plastics.
OhioFisherman Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 The rubber slide in worm weight stops work pretty well also.
lunkerbasshunter Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 wacky rigging a senko bait is one of the best ways to catch them. I highly reccomend it. you can also get walleye on weedlines using this technique. cheers!
