Would like to hear everyone's normal everyday c-rig setup. Rod Reel Line and leader, type and size Weight size Thanks....... As you can see, everyone has something different so you basically set yours up how you want it to be. I started with a Falcon Lizard dragger, then went to a Kistler Helium M/H 7ft 6inch in length and now use the 784 Dobyns Extreme. I use 20 pound fluorocarbon line because it is more sensitive than a copolymer line and when the weight gets wedged against something I will shake it on a tight line and see if it will make it come loose. If that doesn't work then I put pressure on it with the rod then quickly snap the rod tip back toward the bait and many times that will cause it to snap back and come loose. I wasn't able to do that with braid as a main line because it does not stretch. Many people use braid as a main line and I did that also for many years until I did a side by side experiment with braid and fluorocarbon as a main line. The fluorocarbon main line works better for me so that is what I switched to.

Thanks for all the replys. My setup is... Falcon Expert Amistad/ Dobyns 735 Sierra Daiwa Fuego ct 20# fluoro main line, 17# fluoro/15# copolymer leader. 1/2-1 oz, mostly 3/4 oz. Used braid for a long time but really like the fluoro better, just my 2 cents.

Dobyns DC 804C "Carolina Rig Special". http://dobynsrods.com/rod/804c/Curado K 20lb. Invisx, and 15-20 lb. Invsx or 15-20 lb. Big Game. Mostly Big Game. 1 ounce led weight. 3/0 Owner RigN hook. Before that I used the DX 784C and it works great too. The 804 has just a little more length and a stiffer tip. I generally like to throw 3' or longer leaders and this extra length sure helps out. The DC 804C also doubles as a punch rod for me, but I haven't been around much to punch in a while!

I haven't used C Rig much this year.. but my setup is 7' MH Falcon Original Abu Garcia Revo SX Reel Stren Super Braid 30lb main line Stren Low Viz Green 12lb Mono leader 1/2-1 oz Tungsten weight I have had luck with Grande Bass Baby Snakes.. Chartruse Pepper
I vary the length of the leader.. usually between 3 and 4'.
C Rig is not my preferred technique, so I'm not real confident in my presentation BD

Seems many of you are using braid as a main-line.
