Stractching the bottom is actually the point of using a c-rig... the weights gets the fish attentions from a mile around and when he looks behind there is your injured looking bait crawling on the bottom, but as catch and grease metioned, you can try to suspend it using mono and lighter bait sometimes this works better. this technique is often used to cover water deep.  you can throw you c-rig let it fall to the bottom and reel it back in as fast as you can by keeping bottom contact, you'll be surprise how effective this is especially on rocky bottoms!
