So i went fishing today. I caught one maybe 3/4 pounder on a wacky rigged dinger, but no other luck. So I have a question. What's the best Carolina rig retrieve in shallow fairly clear water? I also picked up some owner shaky head jigs, gonna try those out this weekend, any tips, tricks?

Today I ordered two KVD 1.5 cranks, sexy shad and one other color, along with another crank and a terminator jig in black and blue. Was this a good buy?

I have a tiny torpedo, would you still recommend the rapala? I do get a couple oppurtunities to fish lakes (from shore) each year, so a couple crank suggestions would be marvelous. Any opinions on my space monkey idea?

I picked up several cheap spinnerbaits yesterday- white (I think 1/4 and 3/8 oz.) white chart (1/4) and chart (1/4). I also forgot to mention I have a topwater spro-style frog, and a 1/2 (I think) oz. Chart buzzbait. I'll probably try the frog out pretty soon, but I might just stick with the carolina rig I have on for a while (laziness, and it catches fish, so why switch). Also I have my pflueger president (forgot which size) spooled with 20lb powerpro (overkill for a spinning reel?). Any good <80$ spinning rod suggestions?

Man I Was proud of my pflueger president... Need to upgrade the Berkley cherrywood though... 20$ only gets you so far.

Thank you so much for all the help. Funny story, today I fished the normal pond, but the power worm wasn't catching anything, so I figured, what the hell, and Carolina rigged a 4" dinger. Caught four bass, two of which were pretty decent (also set a personal best for smallest bass I've ever caught). Probably just a coincidence, and it was the bait not the rig that caused em to bite, but it definitely made me like the Carolina.

I've caught a couple there, on the dinger and the lizard (both bluish blackish color), and I bought some smaller dingers to try and see if they'll hit a smaller bait. The pond is quite small and I think fairly shallow. In the areas where I've caught bass, there's a mat of weeds about 15 feet wide, there's fish in it, but its easier to get bites out past it. I was just wondering if maybe different baits/techniques might work better.

So I'm fairly new to bass fishing, and being young and all, I don't have access to a boat (or a car for that matter), and I don't actually get to fish all that often, besides at a not-so-good pond down the street. HOWEVER, one thing I hate is when I do go fishing, not having the bait for the situation. Right now, my tackle bag has Berkley power worms (red shad and blackish bluish purplish color), yum dingers (watermelon red and a blackish color with a blue tip) and zoom lizards (same a s dingers pretty much), and watermelon red baby brush hogs, along with a spinnerbait, buzzbait, or jig here and there. Now I pretty much always just Texas rig these things, probably because I'm a lazy teenager (sometimes I even use snap swivels *gasp*). however, I'm looking to "expand my horizons" and start Carolina rigging, drop shotting and such. But I have some questions! First off, is drop shotting kinda like backwards Carolina rigging? That's how I interpreted it. Secondly, what situations would I use each rigging style in (I know I could find this elsewhere, but I've looked and really didnt understand). And also, shaky heads. I've heard them mentioned in many a bass fishing video. I understand theyre like little jigheads, to "stand the bait up"? Is this right? What style/ size jighead with what type of plastic? Lastly, so far, I've skimmed some other threads, been thinking I'll invest in a few more spinnerbaits, and some rage tail space monkeys. Maybe a crank or two (lot a weeds where I am, which deters me from wanting to use a crank). Thanks very much in advance, Octopusfingers
