The Carolina Rig
One of my second choices in plastic worm fishing is entirely different from the Texas Rig. It's the Carolina rig. It doesn't have a slip weight down against the hook, and about half the time it doesn't have a self-weed less hook. It features a rather different sinker called the MoJo, with a swivel and 18-36 inch leader, your leader should be lighter weight line than your main line, then you add your favorite Gamakatsu hook. I like to use Gary Yamamoto Senko. The Senko has either a bare exposed hook or the Texas-style imbedded hook. The latter is used if the rig is fishing in brushy areas. This rig is important because it's great for fishing deep-water structure. Quite often on deep points, structures, bars and channels the bass are down on the bottom. This method is an especially great way to get a Senko deep in a hurry. It's excellent in deep relatively clear lakes. In the hot summer when the water temperature is above 70 degrees, a lot of bass seek the thermo cline. They get down in the depths, especially in clear water where the light penetration is pretty deep. Another advantage of the lighter leader is that when you get hung up, you break your worm off but not the swivel and weight.
