Carolina riggin special rod with Shimano Antares 7.4 reel. 20lb. Seaguar Abrazx floro. 2 Carolina keepers and a one ounce Joy Tungston weight. This is an awesome setup. Does not matter if it's 3' or 30' I throw it everywhere and it catches pigs. [img]http://[/img] I think this set up is getting there.

Most only fish c-rig in the summer months or when fishing deep and trying to cover water. I am here to tell you that this rig flat out catches fish.Shallow,deep, hot,cold,dirty water or clear year around I catch fish on a c-rig especially in grass and wood. Its one of the few techniques that will catch fish anytime anywhere .

The beads will chafe the line. maybe the clicking noise helps idk had great days with/without. Often I’ll miss bites and have teeth marks on the weight. ( for all y’all that thinks the perfect bait and color matter..). I put a bobber stop between the weight and the knot on the swivel. Especially with tungsten. I dislike those Carolina keeper stops. 2 to 3 foot mono or flouro leader. Usually 15#. 20 mainline flouro. I pretty much throw a fluke, brush hog, or mag lizard. I like a 784 dobyns. I use a regular wire hook. Drag it pop it twitch it hop it. It all works. Just fish it.

Swivel 2 beads. The heavier leader allows the bait to sink slower and stay in the strike zone longer Caught this today on the c-rig on that set up. The bait just tends to float a little better and fish smoked it. Team Wolfs

For me it seems to hang up a bit less than the other options. Really, buda? I figured you were an offshore C-rig kinda guy.
