Whether you are a freshwater or saltwater angler, one who targets channel catfish or speckled trout, there is one live bait rig that will increase your chances of getting hits and putting fish in the cooler. It is very easy to make, and more effective than anything you’ll buy in the store.
It’s called by most people a fishfinder rig, and is also known as a Carolina rig. Since those terms are applied to a lot of rigs, including some that sell for up to $5 in the tackle shops, you should not go looking for one. Instead you should make them yourself cheaply at home and stock them in your tackle box in small plastic bags for when you go fishing.
