Super User iceintheveins Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 I know with a heavy weight (at least 1/2 ounce), you feel the bottom better and get better casting distance. I mostly fish shallow water under 15 feet, which is small waters with clear water and pressured fish. Do any of you ever use lighter weights, say 3/8 or 1/4 ounce as a finesse carolina tactic for touchy fish and post frontal conditions? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Absolutely. Try a 3/16 bullet weight pegged your favorite c-rig plastic on a spinning rod! TONS of fun! Jeff Quote
backwater4 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Definitely! 1/4 oz tungsten bullet weight, small glass bead and small swivel. A 10lb flouro leader and your ready to go. I like 4" straight tail worms, swing impacts or even a 3" slim senko. Quote
Quillback Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yep, 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz tungsten, short 12-18" leader, 1/0 EWG with a Zoom U-Tale. This is a killer setup at a local power plant lake during the winter. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Light rigs for Rage Lizards, flukes, 7" Thumper & Anaconda and the Eeliminator in shallow water. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Like the others, a very light weight on a spinning rig has saved the day a time or two. 3/16-3/8 can easily be fished on a med BC rig. Either way, try it, you'll like it! Quote
EvanT123 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 It's my new favorite way to fish catch them all day Quote
papajoe222 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I don't on a C-Rig, but I do on a split-shot Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 31, 2012 Super User Posted August 31, 2012 Check out "MOJO Rig" and see the poor man's Carolina rig. Quote
