Carolina rigged worms are great for fishing points, gravel bottoms and to get your worm up where the bass can see it!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: five minutes
Here's How:
- Get rod and reel, worm, hook, lead, swivel, beads and leader line
- Thread line from reel through lead, then through a bead
- Tie line to swivel using palomar, Trilene or improved clinch knot
- Cut a 30 inch piece of leader line and tie to swivel
- Tie hook to other end of leader line
- Insert hook into worm Texas style or exposed
- For exposed, thread hook into head of worm and down worm until shaft if buried, then turn hook and leave point sticking out
Tips:
- Use a lighter and longer leader in clear water
- Match hook size to worm - a 1/0 is good for a four inch worm, a 5/0 may be needed for a big lizard
- Vary lead size to depth of water, shallow water use 1/2 ounce up to 1 ounce for deep water
