- The carolina rig is one of the best ways to catch fish in both deep and shallow water. In this video I will go over a few carolina rig mistakes we all make!

Some people hate carolina rigs and some people love the c-rig. The truth is, it is one of the best techniques that we have to fish a weightless presentation in a number of different depths.
It should be known, that the c-rig is not a slow technique, you can actually cover a ton of water with one!

I need to get better with the C Rig. Probably gonna tinker with it this post spawn and summer
Same!
Yea, I just started playing with it. I tell u what. Elaztec baits are amazing on them, just pay attention to leader length because your bait will float up and then dive when u reel it.
Man i got dirty fingernails!!! LOL
Some notes........
2:02 - #1 Assuming deep water only
4:06 - #2 Protect your knot
5:27 - #3 Heavy hook
7:01 - #4 Leader length
8:10 - #5 Assuming slow technique
Thank you so much!
At the age of 55, I have never used this because of negative comments from other fishermen. I have used the infamous Texas rig and newer Toyko rig. I am ordering the Regional subscription for Indiana and will try the Carolina rig. Thanks for these tips.
Used weightless worm tonight, caught a few bass in shallow water(less than 4 ft)after evening feeding time started near sunset 😉 slow Twitches 👍 were the sauce........
Aloha
I’ve been using a C-rig forever. A four foot leader is my go to, but I will step up to six feet on occasion. A lure many don’t think of is a fluke style lure. Sometimes it will catch anything that swims.
Love the videos, keep them coming.
Tight lines and Godspeed
4 ft or more how the heck do you cast it with accuracy??
The 'fast' thing is new to me. I've also tried threading the bait & tying a small spinner on the tail which improved things for me.
Great Vid. I like to use braid to the swivel (knot won't break, better feel, less stretch). Then a mono leader (mono floats better than flouro). Z-man elastek baits float good too. Hook a weedless light wire Wacky hook into the nose of a lizard. Or a lil French Fry with a lighter rig.
Great job Tyler dropping knowledge nuggets like a McDonald's 20 Piece nugget meal, Super Sized👏👏👊🏼👊🏼
What I like to do sometimes, is to attach the sinker to a small leader. So I got a swivel running on the main line, and to that swivel I attach a leader and a egg sinker. Makes the bait swim a bit higher and the fish don't feel the weight at all if they are finicky. Not sure if this techically still qualifies as carolina rig, but I use it in the same situations as the C-Rig. Sometimes the standard c-rig is better though.
Hey Tyler you are the stuff!!!! Your videos are top notch. Would like to see another one on Tokyo Rig fishing in the spring. Also would you ever consider designing a BassHQ decal so we as viewers can show our support for your channel????
Hey Ray, a Tokyo rig is on my video list. Never thought of the decal but maybe I will look into that
I'd def show off a BF HQ decal!
Awesome video Tyler. I actually use the bobber stopper. I will start bending my hook out slightly though. I do that with my jigs don’t know why I haven’t done it with the C-rig. Thanks.
Hey Tyler excellent tip to protect our knot's I think that's an awesome way to catch these pressured bass I don't get a chance to watch your videos all the time but I have watched alot of them in the past and your very talented Tyler excellent content God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri.
Love your videos. Bass finally found on my lake. They were hitting lipless crank. Thank you for your videos
Great explanation on this rig. Never used it. Will have to try it this spring. Thanks for sharing 👍
Try using a Gambler Rattle weight .
Bobber stop first to keep weight within an inch of bead , then gambler weight , then bead , then metal clacker with counter bore for avoiding knot .
Works great !
Heads up: the tungsten weight will break glass beads. Try using 2 beads or switch to plastic or brass weight with clacker.
Great video on how to fish the C Rig. Especially the bobber stop tip to protect the knot. Question ❓ when you talked leader length...were you referring to moving the weight up away from the lure by sliding up the bobber stop or do you keep the bait pegged ❓leader length distance being from hook to the swivel.
Sup Tyler. Another great video. Will use that bobber stopper tip. I use longer leader, even with drop shot I use longer leader between weight and hook. Great job live with Rick other night, gave a shout out to channel in chat if didn't see lol. Ty tc
I always put a bobberstop on mine but did away with the bead entirely…I do put a clacker on it but it’s just for the weight. It’s funny cuz I have some of the same zman baits to try out with my crig
Use a Tungsten weight in bullet shape that allows the knot to move up the shell to the top where it is protected* you can pin it with a toothpick
Like a Texas Rig or let go free
Great video on c-rig ty the bobber stop has been something I have been trying for about two years. Great you let the cat out the bag lol. By the way order from sportsman outfitters thru one of your videos. Got to do some editing for my channel the grind is a struggle to get it to take off subscribers are hard to get. Keep up the hard work
Braid to mono, small drop shot hook nose hooked has been a slayer for me at lake Meade.
I grew up fishing a c rig 1/4 ounce 18inch leader with a tube sometimes with ear plug to float the tube up above grass. Worked great
Thanks for sharing mate!! Greetings from Holland, Pat. 👊🏼👍🏼🇳🇱🇺🇦
One more tip is to use mono on the leader. It adds that last little touch of buoyancy to the whole rig.
Good stuff on the C-Rig. Also to eliminate knot damage from the weight there are Carolina pre-rigs available… just saying…
Nice tips thank you Ty ad soon as I started the video I thought of that bobber stop😁
Tyler, really enjoy your videos. Thanks man!
Nice, wish you talked about casting.
Awesome tips Tyler! Thank you!
Great tips always wanted to try the c-rig
When they’re on a Carolina rig they’re on it hard. Never use braid, it will gray up so bad dragging on the bottom. Use 15-20# main line. Flouro or mono
Been using bobber stoppers to protect my knot for years. I also like to put one an in or so about my weight
I really enjoy the "dont" series! Any quick tip for fishing the c rig from the bank?
Just my thought. I use a 3/8-1/2 oz barrel weight, 3-4 foot leader, 3/0 EWG and 4-5 inch lizard. Best of luck to you.
I just recently got out for my first fish of 2022 because our fishing season just started and I was quite successful!
Love your vids man! I always learn a little from every video you post! Also I would like your opinion on my newest video because I tested my new GoPro hero 10 for the first time!
Good information but man that was hard to watch with all the video cuts and all your hand motion. Might be best to show more of the lures and rigging while you're talking. What great info I'm looking forward to trying a c rig. Thanks
I've been fishing t C rig fast for a while and it really down work,,great tip for people who don't fish the c rig very much or just always fish it slow.
I like silicone beads against knot or a glass with center hole big enough it goes over knot so knot isn’t hit by bead but goes inside bead and bead hits swivel … bobber stop cool tho most everyone has them n tackle
Got a couple of questions for you first what type of leader do you have on there? Is it mono second have you ever used a mini Carolina rig to try to catch panfish with lighter hook lighter weight?
Really good video! 👍🎣🇺🇸
Great tips Tyler
Hey Tyler, why not just hook the weight up like you would for a hook on a dropshot, basically putting the weight for a carolina where the hook would go on a dropshot? It seems to me that this would avoid these knots worries you're talking about.
Great info!
Good tips on the rig
Hi fellow anglers. I'm new to the sport and my goal is to learn something new everyday. Today's question is ... what does Ty mean at 07:30 by "highly pressured" bodies of water? TIA.
this year i'am switching to fishing without tying any leader which i think weakened the line capabilities especially with moving bait that fish aren't going to see that line in a moving action and my finesse fishing will be done with clear braid or floro no need for a leaders
i back my carolina rig knot up with a dab of super glue i have some break off when using the uni knot but after switching to a palomar knot my break offs are very low
What about those pre-made C-rig, how well do they work?
Thanks for the tip.........
Like that Ark Invoker Pro!
Whats your favorite go to baits for the C-Rig. We use them all the time on Hartwell.
Good tips.
Lol the reason folks always say the bead protects the knot, is because using the correct bead, with the right hole size, it will “stick” to your knot during the cast, keeping it covered up and protected from the slapping weight. I prefer 1/4” beads from the crafts dept. They have a smaller drill opening. This idea was lost over the years with all the hype of the bead creating a “clicking” sound, something we now know was overrated. Use a bead that sticks to the knot!
Awesome video. I’m new to using this technique. But I fish primarily out of a kayak and due tournaments. Was wondering if there is a disadvantage to using braid as my main line? And maybe fluoro or mono leader. Just trying to use one rod for multiple techniques, it is a 7’2” heavy fast action rod from yakrods
I think braid is great as a main line with mono as a leader.
Monster bass on the outdoor channel?
What about leader length in shallow water?
I disagree with longer leaders get more bites. I have never gotten a bite with one over 2’. I use a 1’ to 1-1/2’ leader. I have used up to 6’ leaders. I get a few bites on 2-3’ leaders but about 1 1/2’ leader I get more bites. It may be just me. Carolina rig is supposed to be 3’-7’ leaders but I have caught few to no fish that way
Would a C-rig work for bank fishing?
What hook size do you recommend for a 3.5 inch bait?
far easier and cheaper to use a 1mm vinyl tubing or neopream fuel line or a 1/4 long piece of plastic coffee stir stick. .
Need to figure out what bait I want to do on the c rig in the north
Zoom speed craw kills in the north for smallies and largies
What about rod?
Just use a rubber bead instead of a bobber stop because the bobber stop can't be reused.
Tomorrow will be the first time I use a Carolina rig 😛
Thanks brother Tyler for the tips
I ❤ you man. No homo
Wobble head…
Too much talking and not enough showing.
Too much taking...............................👎
EWG
I Pond fish primarily with a C rig or wacky, the biggest issue i have with the C rig is break offs above the not, I generally run 2 steel weights with a bobber stop to protect the not, but have recently found the line between the 2 weights (or bead and weigh, same issue) gets nicked up, I now find myself re-tying every 10-15 casts. I found this when a fish broke me off, and i caught that fish a few cast later and recovered my lure and line with the swivel attached and about 3/8" of line broke kinda strangely. so I started inspecting, I use Fluorocarbon usually 20 lb main with 15 lb leader, the 20 lb would get long knicks, you can peel the line like a banana. Any tips to help prevent this, or do I just need to re-tie a lot?
Just use braid for your main line. They won't see it with the Carolina rig anyway
@@_chrisbuzz I would, but, braid backlashes often are no return. I pond fish a lot with high weeds and tree branches, tick a branch and birds nest ensues, at least with floro it pulls out most of the time, maybe I can do a short section of braid for the sinkers
@@schlz69 I hooked the bridge I was fishing off of with a Carolina rig an hour ago 3 times lol. I know your pain
