The Carolina Rig is a popular fishing technique used primarily for bass fishing. It consists of a sliding sinker, a bead, a swivel, and a leader line attached to a hook. This setup allows anglers to present soft plastic baits at various depths while maintaining a natural movement in the water. To use the Carolina Rig, anglers cast the rig out and let it sink to the bottom. They then retrieve it slowly, allowing the bait to bounce along the bottom, which can entice fish to bite. This method is effective in various water conditions and is favored for its versatility.
