Everything You Need for the Carolina Rig

The Carolina Rig is a versatile technique perfect for fishing in open water and around structures such as obstacles and vegetation. This finesse method uses a free-moving bullet weight along the line, allowing the bait to glide naturally through the water. The result is a lifelike presentation that predator fish like bass, zander, and pike find hard to resist.

Bait and Gear

The Carolina Rig typically features soft baits like worms, creature baits, or shads. Pair these with a bullet weight, beads, and offset hooks to create the perfect setup. A medium-action rod with a sensitive tip and a fluorocarbon leader provide optimal control and bite detection.

With the right technique and gear, the Carolina Rig is an essential tool for every predator angler, whether fishing in fresh or brackish water!
