Carolina rig- why

[HookSetDon]

hello again, ive been watching a lot of videos and reading articles and the carolina rig continues to pop up, here in toronto the carolina rig is something i dont hear of very often. Texas is the primiary use of throwing plastics if not whacky or weedless, i myself have never used carolina also... what are some pros and cons to the carolina and what makes it so special? any baits u feel that really excel with the carolina rig? Primarily for deep water? etc thanks everyone

With a Texas rig, the fall rate is the same, from top to bottom, since the bait is linked to the sinker.

With a carolina rig, the bait will fall at the same rate until the sinker hits the bottom, then the bait sinks at its own rate.

Also, if you are fishing where there is any current, with a C rig, the bait is free to wash around in the current, even though the sinker stays in one place.  With a T rig, not so much, if at all.

Carolina rigging has been used for decades by surf casters.  Pyramid sinkers are usually used since they hold position better than the common bank sinker. 

One other thing to consider.  The fish will "feel" the sinker as soon as it hits a T rig.  With a C rig they will not feel the weight of the sinker until they take the slack out of the line.

Further, if the fish hits the bait, and swims toward the sinker, you may not feel it.  With a T rig, if the fish takes the bait and swims toward you, you will feel the line go slack.

Each presents the bait in a different way.
