Carolina rig
The Carolina rig is a plastic bait rig similar to the Texas rig, but with the weight fixed above the hook, instead of sliding down to it. The Carolina rig is suitable for beginning fishers. This specific rig is designed to help fishermen catch bottom feeding fish, particularly bass fish. When placed in water, bait attached to a Carolina rig will move in a circular motion. Bass are attracted to this movement and are therefore more likely to bite the lure. The Carolina rig also provides benefits for colder seasons. The heavy weight on the rig allows the bait to reach deeper waters, where fish typically stay in winter months.
