  • Tackle innovation and new rigging methods make it easy to overcomplicate bass fishing, but the tried and true approaches remain excellent producers. The Carolina rig is a case in point. We caught up with legendary angler, Roland Martin (wired2.fish/Rol..., for a lesson in common-sense Carolina rigging using a handful of simple tackle.
    From terminal tackle to plastic, Roland walks us through how to rig the affordable setup. And contrary to popular opinion, light line and extreme stealth isn't always a must to put quality bass in the boat. Martin explains why he doesn't shy away from a heavy braided mainline in certain situations.

    I've come to appreciate the Carolina rig. One of my "all-around" rods with a spinning reel for most Arkansas water is set up with a Carolina rig, 10lbs braid and 6 lbs fluoro leader with a slip float with about 1/8-1/4oz of weight. Not the best for everything, but a good "only pick one rod for a trip" situation.

    Thanks from new Zealand. We learned about soft plastic fishing through Berkley from you Americans. Most of us use spinning sets with 10lb braid and 20 lb fluorocarbon. But we aren't dragging it we cast ahead of the drift in the sea. Great to learn new techniques. Thank you

      The dude is a beast. He was 79 when this was filmed. He can hang and fish longer and harder than most 20 year olds -- I was totally awestruck. He transcends age and is a "I don't have time to bleed" guy. Yamamoto was handing hats out, he slapped that flat bill on and and went bass fishing 😂.

    My son loved this depth finder. He's used it for ice fishing and on his 14ft boat. Works well and is fairly easy to use. Saw fish on the depth finder, caught fish in that spot. Can't ask for more, except maybe an automatic fish cleaning option :)

    Haha when he started talking about how complicated and fancy that worm is I assumed this video was 10 years old lol theres ALOT of guys pouring worms just like that in their garage and it really doesnt take a special mold, that worm can be made with the same senko mold that makes a solid color worm...

  • @freshandsaltyjohnny
    @freshandsaltyjohnny 6 місяців тому

    It's actually not a triple injection. It's a dual injection laminate with a separate tail mold. If you think that's crazy Mr Roland Martin, you should see coreshot senko's and coreshot baits in general unique as hell and you will never see any bait brand make em only custom bait makers like myself make em. They take 2-3x longer sometimes than making a regular senko but the results are crazy. Check out my shorts if you want to see what coreshot is.

    • @19empire85
      @19empire85 4 роки тому +1

      It's probably based to.much on your fishery to give a real answer but for me a dropshot is more of a smallmouth or open water thing and a c rig is more of a largemouth around structure thing but I've honestly only thrown a c rig a handfull of times, and it absolutely has a place for smallmouth and in open water, it's just not how I've used it... yet. I mean technicly anything can be used about everywhere given that it will get through without snagging, sometimes its just about giveing them a look at something different. One is a bait directly on bottom and one is suspended, that alone is a big difference.
