If you’re serious about catching big fish, you need to master the Carolina Rig! This setup is a favorite among the best fishermen because it allows your bait to move naturally in the water, keeping it in the strike zone longer and attracting monster fish like red drum, striped bass, snook, and even big bass in freshwater.
In this video, we break down everything you need to know about why the Carolina Rig works so well and how you can use it to start catching more and bigger fish today!
Why the Carolina Rig is So Effective:
1. Natural Bait Presentation – The weight sits on the bottom while your bait drifts freely, making it irresistible to fish.
2. Casts Farther – Perfect for surf fishing, pier fishing, or fishing deep waters.
3. Covers More Water – Great for locating fish and working large areas efficiently.
4. Versatile Setup – Works in saltwater and freshwater for catching redfish, striped bass, snook, catfish, largemouth bass, and more!

Carolina is my favorite rig! Some great Reds, but I'm surprised you didn't get sharks as well!
Now you’re talking dirty! I casted up a giant pail of egg sinkers and powder coated them all different colors. Got the idea of a few years ago like you did for an attractant. I actually powder coated them in orange and then rolled them in some yellow powder coating. They turned out pretty cool.
Carolina rig is so versatile and universal…
Carolina BBQ is super underrated
