TheCarolina rig is afishing rig similar to theTexas rig, but with thesinker weight fixed above thehook instead of sliding down to it. The Carolina rig is suitable for beginning fishers,[1] and this specific rig is designed to help fishermen catchbottom-feeding fish, particularlyblack bass.[2] When placed in water, thelure attached to a Carolina rig will move in a circular motion. Bass are attracted to this movement and are therefore more likely to strike the lure. The Carolina rig also provides benefits for colder seasons, as the heavy weight on the rig allows the bait to reach deeper waters, where fish typically stay in winter months.[citation needed]
