cool jig setup

renagadebee34 · 01-25-08, 11:38 AM

Has anyone read the article in the new bassmasters magazine about how kevin sharp fishes a carolina rig but with a jig on the bottom and a sinko on top. also how he texas rigs his jigs. The texas rig idea will save me lots of headaches with hangups and snags.

i have used the carolina rig method a few years ago. it did catch fish too.

I personally don't think fish really "bite" the weight in a C-Rig.

When some folks say, "Oh, their hittin' the weight. I need to add a PNJ." Well of course a PNJ in place of a sinker will catch fish, but if it's just a plain weight, I really don't think that many fish are biting the weight.

Just my $.02,

I'd just blame it on the dumb bluegill.

My Dad actually caught a bluegill on a snap-swivel once...

LL. i personally think that fish will bite the weight on a carolina rig. not because it looks like food to them, but it will stir up dirt and silt plus make a lot of clicking sounds that can imitate food.

Last fall at brookville lake with denny , we witnessed a big cincy bass club having a tourney, and some clown pulled out a few 3 lb ers out of timber using a jig n senko..I had never thought about using that before..he ended up comming in 3rd with 19 lbs

Ive experimented w/ the same for about a year now. I however am not a big jig fisherman. Have caught fish this way, just not my fortay.

Was he C-rigging it or using the Senko as a trailer? If it was a trailer ten how long was it?

Me too. I haven't tried it but have thought about it on more than one occasion. Only one way to fine out if it works for you......

the guy was flipping a jig with a senko on (sideways-wackeyrig) into timbers

I submitted a thread a couple years ago about using a jig as the weight while drop-shotting. Someone said they call it a bubba rig, so I wasn't the first to think of it. I always rig my drop shot like that, but I've only caught one fish on the jig so far.
