...my next lure will be the C-Rig. I normally fish small lakes with a grassy bottom. I was wondering if a C-rig would produce with bait sitting on top of the grass but I have 0 confidence in it. Any tips and advice would definitely be appreciated. Tight lines fellas

My favorite way to fish at Amistad is C-Rig with 1/8 oz weight dragging a mag fluke across the tops of the grasses.

I will throw 1/2 oz along the edges of the grass.

Both have worked well for me.

This exactly

I throw the lighter weight over grass and catch quite a few fish with it. I normally call it a split shot rig, even though it has a light weight on it. If the grass is real thick, you can go to 1/4 oz, but not much bigger. I have thrown a 3/8 oz C-rig over matted grass and caught a good amount of big fish with it, too. 3/8s lets you cast it further, too.

I wonder how many people are trying to get confidence in a particular setup, vs. CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES???????????? I have confidence in MYSELF to figure the fish out and what they are biting on. Took me a couple of years to get it, but once you got it, you never go empty handed!!!!!!!!! GREAT thing to have, CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF vs. confidence in a presentation. You get confidence in yourself and you never leave home w/o it. GO FIGURE!!!!??????????????? Seems easy to me now, but while I was fishing a lot, I just got the confidence and never leave home w/o it. Good luck. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

I'm thinking longer leader (3-4 ft) if there is a grassy bottom.

Why not drop shot?

Thank you so much man for the advise and inspiration...THIS is def what i needed..

I honestly havent even thought of the DS...im going to work it out next time

Bass ii tis, no problems sir. It always confused me when someone said they lacked confidence in a particular presentation, when the confidence comes from your brain and figuring out the fish. Get confidence in yourself and you will never eave home w/o it. You KNOW you are going to catch a fish, REGARDLESS of the situation. Just makes sense to me, dunno. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
