carolina rig techniques
 

I never fish a carolina rig, I mostly do drop shot, I feel drop shot gives you a better hook set and keeps your bait where you want it, but sunday I was fishing and was using a carolina rig with a bead, weight, bead and swivel, then a flouro leader and #4 treble w/ live swimpz, I missed a lot of fish trying to figure out whats the best technique I tried keeping my line as tight as possible but when I felt the bite I couldn't ever get the hook set. any help with a better set up or technique would be appreciated, oh and I never fished with live bait til this weekend, I use to fishing for bass with a texas rigged plastic worm, or when I do fish for trout its usually with a jighead and saltwater assassins.

you may have been trying to set the hook too fast...

Trout hit It to kill it, then come back to eat it......gotta wait for the next hit

thats probably it,

Treble hook takes practice , try a khale hook

N if your fishin the hwy 11 use a drop shot , way less work re- rigging when u hang up on all the crap on the bottom, or use a sliding cork

Sliding cork makes it about as easy as it can get.
