How do you rig your plastic baits?

[SuperMn106]

i have never fished for bass with plastic baits. i dont know how to carolina rig or texas rig or any other kind rig .

Do you guys use jig heads, split shots or the bullet weight things? lol ( i cant think of the name of it right now)

i like to fish 7 1/2 inch culprit plastic worms on a 3/0 hook and anywhere from a 1/4 ounce to a half ounce bullet weight depending how thick the cover

Carolina rig for me! I use a bullet weight for a sinker and a 2/0 or 1/0 hook.

Re: How do you rig your plastic baits?

For a texas rig, use a 3/16 oz bullet weight above a 3/0 to 4/0 hook (depending on avg size of fish) where the sinker slides down to the eye of the hook. For a Carolina rig, use the same weight and hook size, just suspend the weight above a 20" leader with a barrel swivel. The longer the leader, the more action the bait will have as the sinker bounces across the bottom. Use the texas rig in dense cover or to bounce it down a rocky point. The carolina rig is good when fish are just of the bottom in deeper water. Hope this helps and good luck.

I Texas rig mine with 5/8 oz. weight, because i fish in alot of cover.

Even though I live in Carolina, it's a Texas rig for me. In the early spring I use a texas rig without a weight. Later in the spring and into the summer I use a texas rig with a bullet weight and bleeding red hook. I use Bass Pro's 10" or 12" Red Shad worms. They work great.
