So i found some old fishing magezines i bought back in like 04 and i flipped open a page that said "Carolina Jig Rig." The concept they were trying to get across was two hooks on one line. Insted of the drop weight with obviously no hooks they slapped a jig on there using the head as the weight and a plastic worm on the end of the line.

Has anyone tried this?

What time of year does it work, if it even does work?

-Just curious 

I vaguely remember reading that article and remember the guys saying they were getting sinker bites and this was their solution. I've used a downsized finesse version with a boo jig / bps dropshot minnow and caught a few on the minnow. But to be honest only tried it once. 

My thinking is that some of the advantages you get from using a C-rig are negated by using a jig.

Heres a few ideas of mine:

1.  casting distance- that jig isnt going to cut through the air like a heavy sinker.

2. Feel- That sinker (especially tungstun) will do better at telling you alot about bottum composition than a jig, IMHO.

3. getting bit- A fish can pick up a plastic on a C-rig and not feel much resistance, while with a heavy jig pulling it down the fish may spit the bait before you stick it. Ask any experienced catfish angler about using a slip rig / over other rigs.

Long story short, I decided to stay with sinkers.

Years ago lots of anglers added a hook to the sinker because of the amount of sinker bites they were getting. I never did and don't ever remember having a problem with sinker bites.

yeah it just caught be by surprise and got me thinkin.

Thanks guys.
