A Carolina Rig can be used any time of the year. I like to use it on submerged points when bait fish are present. Deep or shallow grass when it's hot or cold. Around rocks and it's deadly on humps when bass are schooling. Usually the bigger bass will be under the schooling bass, that's my belief anyways. I use 15lb floro as the main line because you can really feel the bottom. I generally use a 1/2 oz weight if I'm fishing deep and a 3/8 oz in shallow water. I always use a 27in leader. I like to use 15lb triple fish mono because I think it helps the bait to float better. I like to use a Zoom trick worm but if the fish are picky, I'll switch to a Zoom Mag Finese worm on a 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook. A EWG hook is a must on the mag finese worm, trust me, I learned that the hard way. A regular off set hook is fine for the trick worm. Always.....always use Spike It on the tail. I use a 7ft heavy action rod with a fast tip. A 6 or 7 to 1 reel is a must. This is the set up I like to use and I am very confident in it.
