Summer C-Rig

Just a reminder to those that haven't tried, or have little faith in using it. Even those of you that, like me have gotten away from throwing a C-rig recently. When it comes to checking out a large piece of structure, a C-Ring will do it faster than a drop shot and can out produce a football, or swing head jig.  It can be used as a finesse presentation by using a trick worm, tube, or grub behind a lighter weight, a power presentation, 10in. worm behind a 1/2oz. or 3/4oz. weight , or any thing in between. Honestly, I don't know why I stopped using it.

Today was one of those blue bird sky, no breeze days that make catching tough when you're targeting off shore structure and neither of the three other presentations produced anything for most of the morning.  I'd finished 2nd in two mid-summer tournaments on this lake, both times relying on a C-rig, so I decided to target a weedline bordering a 300yrd drop on the edge of a flat.  I headed there and tied a floating finesse worm to the business end and was rewarded with three nice fish before I had to head in.
