twitchfish Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Is there a good weight for C-rigging the occasional rocky bottom? Was thinking that someone probably has come up with a football weight for this, but haven't found. How hard do you think it would be to drill a lead egg sinker to make it a football weight?

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I use a barrel shaped weight. Kinda like a football, only rotated 90*. Quote

timsford Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 There some walleye sinkers made by lindy and others that are basically a long tube filled with lead or shot. I dont fish a carolina rig a lot but ive use these with success in rocky areas and didnt get hung near as much as i did with bullet or egg style sinkers Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 10, 2014 Super User Posted July 10, 2014 I prefer the Mojo Carolina sinkers when fishing in those areas. Quote

kylek Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Check out Jewel Bait the Rock Carolina rig football weights. They have them for sale at TW. I also saw them at a local store last night. Quote

motodmast Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Weight depends on how deep your fishing, and wind. Normal day for me, I'll be dragging a c rig in 18-30 ft of water, with a bit of wind, I'll use usually 1/2 oz, sometimes 3/4 cause I want to feel the bottom and what I'm dragging over.. Good thing about the Carolina rig is it don't matter really how heavy of a weight u use because the least isn't attached to it so the finsh won't really feel the weight. Quote
