Depends on where you are c-rigging. If c-riggin in a heavy weed area, use a "Mojo" weight as the main weight, then you bead/beads/brass/whatever, then your swivel. The Mojo will go through the weeds much better than any other weight I've used. I like a Senko type bait, or Lizard, or zipper style worm for the bait, but most anything will work. If working through weeds, you need to drag it, do not hop it, you will get in a mess a lot more by hopping it. Just drag it through the weeds, let it sit, then drag it again.

Yeah Liz, most of the lakes that I will fish witm my rod have weeds in the C-Riggin' areas(10-18feet). Also, what is a Mojo weight, like the ones for drop shottin', that type of Mojo weight?

thick grass like hydrilla makes getting an egg sinker to the bottom tough.. either use a mojo weight or do like i do in heavy weeds i use two 1/4 oz bullet nose sinkers with a bead in the middle..
i prefure 1/2 LEAD egg sinkers for most of my yawn rig working.. zooker

I like a tungsten weight with a glass bead behind it.2 baits that work very well for me is a 6" Lizard in pumpkin/chartruese tail and a Zoom Centipede in cotton candy color.I don't know why those 2 colors work so well,green pumpkin and black n blue seems to be the ticket for every other type of fishing technique. I am catching smallmouth in 35 ft depths to as far as 132 ft deep using a 1/2 oz weight and a 16 lb test 24" length fluorocarbon leader from the weight swivel to the bait with 30 lb braid for the mainline.

I fish a lot of rocky lakes, and a couple years back I tried the Lindy Rattlin' No-snagg sinker. It works like a charm in those rocky lakes. Otherwise I use a couple of tugsten barrel sinkers I got when WalMart closed them out a few years back.
