It wasn't until a guide friend explained the history of the Carolina rig, that it suddenly made sense to me.<br /><br />The Caro weights are really great, btw. I have used them locally so as I can still fish a weighted hook / jighead directly over the top of submerged weed beds without the risk of getting caught up in it all.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027271456790850042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980178955467033631.post-88285259896974493702012-01-25T22:19:12.367+02:002012-01-25T22:19:12.367+02:00Hello Andy,

The japanese call it "caro"lina rig so I just wrote it that way. They call it this way because basically it is a setup that involves a weight and a swivel.RC fishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578673102939808851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980178955467033631.post-11721512469038023912012-01-25T22:09:34.032+02:002012-01-25T22:09:34.032+02:00Hi RC.
I am not saying you are wrong, but this Ca...Hi RC.<br /><br />I am not saying you are wrong, but this Caro weights do not (in my mind) represent a true Carolina rig.<br /><br />A Carolina rig was developed in Carolina, USA, for use in waters where the bottom is weedy. The idea being that you cast out and allow the weight to settle, but for the soft lure to rise above the weed. You then feel the weight of the lure and allow a very small amount of slack line so that the lure rises a little more in the water. You can then twitch the lure and make it appear to be darting into the weed for cover from a predator. This is why the use of heavier weights 3/4 ounces+ (21 grams+) are often used for Carolina rigging. This much weight allows a person to work the lure but without moving the weight itself. The lures used for Carolina rigging should be buoyant / floating types too so they will rise above the weed on the bottom. Of course, over a non weedy bottom any soft lure can be used, really speaking.<br /><br />The Caro weights shown come in various sizes and can be floating, suspending or sinking in their nature. Although they act as an extra weight to aid casting, they do have a very specific way of being fished. This can be just below the surface, half way down the water column or on the bottom itself.<br /><br />As I said, this isn't meant to cause any offence, it's just stating how I understand the Carolina rig to be worked.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027271456790850042noreply@blogger.com
