Most guys never use a Carolina rig, and I’m glad. We have been using it for 25+ years and always will.
It’s a great technique!
Bank fishermen: not the technique to use if you have a rock or brush or tree heavy lake/pond or river bottom. You will snag a lot and break off many of times. This is a great technique in off-shore fishing from a boat because less break offs.
So right! Tried this last Summer and ended up losing equipment fishing from the bank.
Yep that why he reiterated offshore fishing…
Wrong!!!A good fisherman knows Bass/fish stay tight to structure and don't mind getting hung up- losing a rig-retying.
If you're getting hung up a lot go to a lighter bullet weight and peg it so it doesn't slide.
My local pond is stump/snag heaven and i use a 5 inch leader 5 lb floro and 10 lb leader rigged weedless and havent broke off . Fished in areas where i lost crank baits and jigs
Excellent Video Nathan was fishing Carolina Rigs with lizzards before you were born .lol but always willing to learn something new!
Thanks for explaining everything in detail!
Great video!!! Just started to learn how to fish the Carolina rig. Looking forward to next season to use it more & get the confidence. I know it catches fish!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Good luck!
The Hogwalla is INCREDIBLE on a C rig!!!
Great tips! Two things I was told when learning this technique: 1) if not getting hung up, it's not in the right spot; and 2) the bite often feels like you snagged a wet wash cloth. Tight lines out there!
I appreciate you always including the retrieve in your videos.
Thanks!
Thanks Nathan. I am a bank beater but sometimes you do what you have to. Have caught fish c rigging and need to feel more comfortable with it. Good video for the basics.
Thanks good luck!
Switch main line to 50lb braid lot easier to pull out of rocks, use mono leader, floats better, and scale down to 1/0 hook...lighter keeps bait up off bottom....caught plenty 6lb+ w 1/0 hook...I use clackers instead of beads....been using C rig for 40 years , its my money bait.
BTW sick one arm / one hand reeling… I never saw that before… super cool :)
So informational, this is why I'm here 💯
Thank you!
Awesome video! Don’t have much confidence in c rig. Keep trying till I catch some on it! Thanks for sharing!
Good luck!
Nathan,after watching you land a nice bass on a powell fishing rod, I had questioned your opinion on the powell diesel 765 fishing rod's, and you were good enough to respond you tryed one ; and I thank you for your response. I just wanted you and all who appreciate and enjoy your video's, that I purchased a powell rod , and found with the info etched at the bottom of the rod which read POWELL 765 7' 6'' dieasl cef and lure and weight recomendations,and under that was a NO WARRANTY glazed over with a beautiful gloss finish . Again I am a thankful subscriber and enjoy your video"s emencely. take care .
Thank you I appreciate it!
I'm a newbie kayak fisherman and appreciate your tips. I prefer to use a baitcaster whenever possible, but for the Carolina rig I started using a spinning reel only. I was having problems with backlashs due to the helicopter like flight pattern of the Carolina rig causing line speed surges. Love the Carolina rig and it's versatility for different hook and plastics setups. I caught my pb crappie with a Carolina rigged plastic craw on a 2/0 ewg earlier this summer.
I try using a shorter leader when it helicopters!
Not telling you how to tune your reel, but I was shown how to use a BC by tightening the brake all the way and slowly open the break until you feel comfortable. To this day, I'm amazed that I don't get more lashes when casting into the wind. Just a lil tiny increase and what a world of difference casting. Hope this helps you out with the bird nesting issue. Tight lines brother!🎣
Great vid Nathan ! I’ve been trying goby imitating baits here on Lake Michigan the Poor Boy goby baits are big enough to use an EWG hook. 👍
That’s interesting!
One thing to remember when using this technique is always change positions because fish will reposition especially when it’s windy and you will think oh I guess I fished the school out and they are still there 😮💪
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the help
Thanks! Good luck!
Thank you Nathan
That makes sense my uncle always told me to keep my rod tip up now I sweep to the side maybe I won't lose fish lol
great stuff man 👍
Thank you, i never caught a bass yet, thank you for tips
Good luck!
Good stuff Nathan. Unfortunately, I will never be a fan of the Carolina Rig as long as the Ned Rig, specifically the ZMan Finesse TRD and Big TRD. If I'm gonna invest time dragging something, it's gonna be one of those two. Glad the CR works for you, at my lakes it just seemed to get hung up too often. Plus, the ZMan stuff stands up. It's easier for the bass to inhale and I think it bothers them more! Tight lines.
That works well too!
Is it effective against Peacock bass and any other cichild species? There's a lot of them invasive species here and I would like to catch some of them. It's always summer and hot here.
Thanks
Where to find the beed for fishing lin
I may try this this weekend.
Good luck!
Very helpful
Thank you!
What lake was this filmed on?
Thanks for the great information ++
Thank you!
Good work!
Thanks!
we put the bead to protect the knot not for the knocking..we used egg sinkers cause for rocks pointed weight is for grass that why we used a football jig then when guy won bassmaster here everyone learned about it.cause of rocks the point of lead goes in cracks of rocks.I am old fisherman social media let all our tricks out of the bag for views.i never had less than top 5 finish in no tournment i ever fished i use to tell my mom guys on TV not got chance against me LMAO
We use clackers and beads for sound and glass wont protect your knot it will beat the crap out of it without a bobber stopper.. There are better options in grass nowadays than a c rig but on a hard bottom it is a solid option although I usually opt for an unpegged t rig unless I am in heavy current. In submerged grass during summer drop shot all the way with the rest of the year bladed jig. I've been fishing for 42 years and the c rig has never been a secret in my lifetime even when social media didnt exist or the internet for that matter lol although it does get overlooked as an option by many including myself at times. This video was spot on and great info to help people get started, well done! As for me, I'm getting geared up to start throwing swimbaits specially at night.
You both should start CZcams channels . Make money for your advice .
Only top5 in all tx fished?? Get off the meth pipe
In the dog days, when I can't buy a bite, I'll rig up a "finesse C-rig" using a spinning rod, 1/8 oz. weight and a small lizard or 4" worm and still fish it shallow.
Definitely would work well!
very cool. Primarily a salt water angler, but new, and I am wondering if this technique would work on a fish we call the southern flounder? But also am wanting to go to some our inland lakes and bass fish more. I went on a guided white bass trip last year and it was a whole lot of fun!
Awesome! Should work in the ocean as well
Flounder, Specks ,Puppy Drum, that rig is money use it all the time. Just have to put in time
Caught a 3lb southern flounder this week on a c-rig with a fluke
I have no fresh water within 100 miles, so I fish the Carolina rig in the Atlantic ocean for sea bass - and it works like a charm!
Nice! I’ve been wanting to get into saltwater fishing!
Hey Nathan, why do you run a leader if you're running fluoro as your main line? I run my rig on a spinning rod spooled with fluoro. Thus, I don't run a leader. I just peg the egg weight 2 or 3 feet up. Reason being, I don't I have a leader knot on a swivel to protect so I don't feel I need a glass bead. Just want to understand to see if I'm screwing this up. lol
Thanks! As always, love your videos!
Flouro sinks. If you use a mono leader it will allow the bait to float above the bottom.
I use the mono to get a little buoyancy on the end of the bait!
Cool channel. I’m going to subscribe
Thanks!
I just watched your other How to Rig the Carolina video, and I thought you said don’t use a glass bead with a tungsten weight because it will break off fish and you won’t know why… but in this video you said your using them together… so what is the best way?
Thank you :)
I might have mis spoke I never use glass with tungsten
@@nathanquincefishing7122 right on!
Thank you my friend!!
I've used a Carolina rig for over 40 yrs. Some have told me that using a bead is a waste of time. This always cracks me up. One of my most productive rigs happens to be using a 1/2 oz brass weight connected to a glass bead and tied directly to a swivel then the leader. Why this setup??? Glass and brass is extremely loud under water. I'll even use 2 beads if needed. Lead weights and plastic beads work good at times also. Weather & barometric pressure can change your approach. I don't use the c rig if I'm fishing from the bank. Unless its a deep impoundment & there's not a ton of hang ups. It's way better from a boat. I'm a fan of the Lanier rig. I fished lake Lanier in Georgia most of my younger days. That's a brass weight glass bead and worm hook tied in that order and a Zoom Finesse worm preferably on spinning tackle. Very deadly on spotted bass. Living in the Ozarks now it works great here for all kinds of bass. Bobber stops are used now for different reasons but that's about it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@nathanquincefishing7122 Thank you for sharing your video. It's refreshing to see the content and other views on your channel
Dang dude you do a good job
Thank you!
How long (minutes) do you fish each cast? Fishing it slow can mean 30 seconds upwards to 5 minutes
It just depends on the fishes mood but yes that is correct!
What are your top two favorite Carolina rig worms to use and what are your go to colors?
I do night fishing mostly, here in AZ the sun is OPPRESSIVE. the darker the better, pumpkin seed and black n blue all night
Speed worm and a divine shakey worm in gp!
Do you think this would work for walleyes?
With a different bait it could!
Love the Carolina rig is outstanding..Used it for the past 24 years.IN N.H. it rocks.Totaly cover tons of water.Dont ever thrown 17lbs test with a 3/4 oz weight and a 30"leadet along with a watermelon chartreuse 6"zoom lizard in Squam lake it doesn't work...Hahaha thx
That’s awesome!
Anyone ever fished any version of a Carolina rig for deep trout? Maybe with much smaller soft plastics?
Never tried!
Why does my speed worm tail keep splitting in the bend? Silly question but am I casting it to hard or does brush or lay downs doing it? Thanks
Put jus a little loctite gel on hook
@@paulcristma4469 It’s not the worm it’s the tail it splits in the tail
Sometimes bluegills rip it off it just happens!
Mend it for plastics. Always a good money savor and fixer
Have you used this for catfishing
I have not
I’ve never fished a Carolina rig but I have fished a weighted Texas rig. What’s the difference?
Your weight is separated from your bait
Can you use the Carolina rig in heavy grass?
Not the best in heavy grass but sparse yes
How far you have the wait from the worm
About 3 feet
Why are bait casters right hand retrieve should be left hand like spinning reel so you aren’t always switching hands
Not sure!
my fish want a crig that is jigged, just lazing around doesn't do anything xD and with your method you can also leave out the pearl because it doesn't make a click sound when grinding where the perl it's there for it
primary use 1 oz for 40 years. its my poor mans fish finder
Bead or no bead?
Always a bead
HAHAHAHA grandpa never told you how to fish this bait i can already tell you teaching WRONG
