How To Fish With Plastic Worms: Carolina Rig

A Carolina rig is an excellent option for deep-water fishing. The rig typically consists of an egg or bullet sinker weighing between 1/2 and 2oz glass beads, a swing swivels, an length of fishing line, and hook. For this Carolina rig, first you need to slide the sinker onto the main line and then attach the bead. Then, you need to tie the swivel onto your main line. After the swivel has been tacked onto the main line connect an additional length of line fishing to the other end that is attached to the swivel. The length of the line should be between 12"-4 in length. Then, connect the hook to the opposite part of the line connected onto the swivel. Attach the worm to the hook in the same manner like on the Texas rig. This completes the Carolina rig.

The Carolina Rig is Great Deep Water Technique

The large 10-" ribbon tailworms are the ideal option for an Carolina rig. However in cold water, the straight tail or stickworms typically outperform ribbon tail worms. The most effective places to utilize the Carolina rig is on flats, points humps, and other structures that are deep in the water. To use with the Carolina rig, make an casting along the desired location then drag the bait using rod in a sweeping manner. Reel the slack in and repeat. Mix the cadence of the drags. Some are short in a fast sequence, and some a long pull. Making this a good practice will allow you to establish a pattern of what fish will want to eat during the day.
