[QUOTE="slabmaster, post: 24324, member: 264"] if your use to lifting your texas rigged worm with verticle rod motion ' as i am" don't do this with your carolina rig. sweep your rod horizontal when you move the bait . almost like you are trying to get it hung up. i use a 24to 30 inch flourocarbon leader. you my not need flourocarbon. i fish beaver lake . some parts of it are clear as gin. small finess type baits work well . 4inch worms , 4 inch lizards, 5 inch yamamoto senkos . i dont use fancy weights. i use egg sinkers. i do paint them black. i only use one bead. the bead is there for knot protection so the sinker won't weaken the line. i use a good barrel swivel usually black nickle. it took me a long time to consistantly catch fish on a carolina rig. i was waiting to feel the bite like on a texas rig. it is my experience now that the bite feels mushy and alot of time it's just extra weight on the end of your rod. it kinda feels like the bite on a reel soft fiberglass crankbait rod. i also fihs a smaller hook when carolina rigging. sometimes even down to 1/0 light wire. when texas rigging i never use smaller than 4/0 wide gap. anywhere you can catch fish on a texas rig you can cathch them on a carolina . Given the obvious that a CR is no good when flipping brushpiles or boatdocks. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
