senko_77

i am not the master at c-rigging, but i can give you the basic help you need. the carolina consists of the components in the this order. heavy bullet weight (1/2oz. or bigger) a bead, a swivel, a leader of 12' or more, then your hook and a soft plastic. so this is instructions on how to make the rig. first, slide a big bullet weight up the line, then slide a bead up the line. it really doesnt matter what color bead it is. then tie a swivel on the line. this stops the weight from advancing up the line toward the worm. now take a long strand in line, and tie one end to the swivel, and the other end to the hook. then add your soft plastic to your hook. fish the rig on a heavy duty baitcaster, and a 7 ft. medium heavy, to heavy action baitcasting rod. cast out to target, and work the bait with a sweep of the rod. this will move the worm, and the weight will drag on the bottom, kicking up silt that gets the bass's attention. also, when the weight hits an underwater object, it makes that worm dart and wiggle. the purpose of the carolina rig is so the worm can float above the weight, and target fish who are off the bottom. this is a very effective rig. just work it slow. here are some links to help you learn. http://espn.go.com/winnercomm/outdoors/fishing/i/P3_f_carolina_rig.jpg http://www.fishin.com/articles/georgewelcome/C-rigarticle/carolinarig.htm http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/carolina_rig.html i hope this helps. this is a great technique. welcome to the forum man!

prop baits are baits with propelers on them. when you twitch the lure, the propellers spin and churn up water. they are topwater baits. heddon makes a prop bait called the heddon torpedo. my favorite color of this is baby bass. and bass can see at night just fine. you can fish a senko at pitch black new moon and catch a ton of fish.

you can also use a plastic jig trailer. i like the zoom super chunk jr. in black. throw a topwater frog and get rid of your frustration. my suggestion is a sumo frog in the black or green. heres the link. http://www.***.com/descpageHDTNATFRIEN-BZSUMFG.html

theres a cemetary pond about 15 mins. from my house. we only go there in the winter. thats when the fish are REALLY active. its kinda weird, in summer its like winter fishin there, and in winter its like spring fishin. idk. we caught alot of bass there. and all we throw are flukes on it. good luck

yeah i call it 'feathering' the spool.

yeah, weight has a ton to do with it!

how did u get in touch with them

cabelas makes tubes that they sell in bulk. there like 200 tubes for 10 bucks. sounds like a good deal to me

ive never used glow in the dark bait. does it really work?? i would think it would spook the fish

try throwin a firetiger jig to imitate the bream.

c-rig a 7in. senko and work it ultra slow. when the senko falls to the bottom let it sit there. this is called dead stickin. they'll come up and slam it as it sits motion less

there is no 'best depth' for buzzin. i have caughtt them in forty feet of water because they were suspending. its more liek what is your confidence depth for buzzin. mine would be 12ft. and above

make sure you check out the instructional things also on the home page of bassresource

here in ga its fishin year round. ussualy you can pull up some pigs on jig and pigs

try an owner, i feel there the sharpest hooks they make. i would use standard a 4/0

the flw finnesse worms, the straight tailed ones taste and smell like gummy worms. its crazy

when i was in west virginia a year or two ago, i went to a local fly shop called murrays fly shop. this guy hand makes these babies and there sweet. look them up on google. my favorite in the north carolina blue popping bug

i ussualy watch for the signs of lightnin. like line floatin, or hair standin. best of luck to ya'. lol.

hey nwgabassmaster. im going to guntersville soon hopefully and maybe we can hook up. all i do is take a jon boat out there

yeah dude.. welcome to the absolute best forum in the world.

surprised u dont like the wide gap finnesse from gammy. i really like those on drops

bites going to be tough because of the masive rain fall. it screws up the oxygen blance. ive sometimes found it impossible to catch them. try moving a soft plastic or a jig REALLY slow. another thing you can do, which we do for spotted bass, is throw out a lizard. let it sit. then shake the rod tip so the legs on the lizard twich. then let it sit again. it may just be the ticket

since most of the ponds i fish are big lakes in state parks, i ussualy have to pay like a 3 dollar parking ticket or something like that because it is a state park.

stick with this website. it is the best. i have learned SO much

try the doug hannon baby snakes. they are incredible for situations like these
