Carolina rig
A Carolina rig is a popular fishing setup used to effectively catch bass and other freshwater species. It consists of a main fishing line with a sliding sinker (weight) that allows the lure to move naturally and stay close to the bottom. A leader line connects to a hook, where the bait (like soft plastic or live bait) is attached. This setup enables the lure to glide freely and offers good contact with the bottom, making it easier to detect bites and cover different depths quickly—ideal for fishing in various bottom conditions.
