The Carolina rig is one of the two most popular rigs used for catching Bass. Carolina rigs are very simple rigs with a slip sinkers, swivels, beads, and leaders. There are many variations of sinker weight, number and color of beads and leader length but the most common rig used by bass fishermen is a ¾ ounce sinker followed by a red bead, then a swivel and a 24-30 inch leader and a 4/0 hook.

The thing that varies the most, except for bait, is the length of the leader. Use shorter 18-36 inch leaders when you need to get really close to structure and precise presentation is needed. Leaders up to 7 feet can work extremely well for bass holding along steep ledges or suspended outside a break. The long lead allows the bait to drift slowly giving the Bass a longer look at the bait.

When fishing a Carolina rig you want to make your cast and let the bait sink to the bottom. Pay attention to your line as sometimes you will get a bite as the bait sinks to the bottom. When your bait is on the bottom take the slack out of your line. Reel your line in very slowly with frequent pauses or with short twitches of your rod reeling in the slack each time.

Pay attention to your line. Catching Bass takes feel. No matter what bait you are using if it is plastic the Bass will not hold it long. If you think you have a bite set the hook. If you miss just let the bait fall back to the bottom and begin again.
