Carolina Rig Vs Texas Rig?

[ReggieT]

One of my favorite farm ponds has a very soft & muddy bottom.

Would I fare better using the Carolina rig as opposed to the Texas rig?

 

The pond is about 10 ft max.

Also what worm would you toss?

 

Thanks

You could use both. I use a T rig when fish are more aggressive, a C rig when the bite is tougher. As far as worms, I usually use a ribbon tail worm. I also use creature baits though. A brush hog works awesome for me.

Thanks Arv...wow out of 88 views you're the only guy with something to share...amazing!!   That's a good tip...I'll keep it in mind!

I like the C rig for those kind of situations where you are dragging bottom to cover water and find structure and bottom composition. I prefer to throw T rigged worms at "targets" like laydowns, stumps, etc. Hard to go wrong with green watermelon or pumpkin.

Soft mucky bottom isn't good for either T- or C-rigs using traditional weights between 3/16 to 3/4 oz.

Check out the Mojo rig, site has a Vedio, split shot or slip shot rigs.

The key is using lighter weight 3/32 to 1/8 oz and small high flotation worms. In the weeds you want a straight tail worm that swims through easier. 4 1/2" to 6" worms work good on the finesse presentations, with size 1 light wire worm hooks.
