The Comparison of the Carolina Rig Fishing and the Texas Rig

If you’ve ever fished for bass, you probably have heard of these two types of rigging for your worms. These 2 ways have been around for a long time span, and each of them have produced some very large bass. Overall, fishing with worms might be the one best way to catch the really large fish. It has to do with the life like action that a plastic worm mimics in the water, and coupled with a soft body, the worm just seems more like real food to a largemouth bass. But let me just tell you about these two distinct types of worm rigging.

The Texas rig is the simpler of the two. It only entails a cone shaped weight, worm, and a hook. Put the cone shaped weight on your line first, tie your hook off, then place your worm on the hook, and you are ready to go. The Texas rig is very compact, and works very nicely when you are fishing deep vegetation, where so often bass make their abode.

Now, the Carolina fishing rig is a little more complex. It utilizes a weight, bead, barrel swivel, leader line, hook and worm. Place the weight on first , then the bead, tie on the barrel swivel, tie on a leader line, tie on your hook, then place your worm on the hook, and you are prepared to Carolina rig fish. Because the weight is disjointed from the worm, when the lure is wagged in front of the bass, it looks more real, and thus may yield more hits. But you have to check it out however, because the Carolina rig is harder to work the cover areas, and thus when you are Carolina rig fishing, you may not be able to place the lure as close to the fish, which translates into fewer bass.
