MY PROFILE:
I started fishing when I was just a young kid and instantly fell in love with Bass Fishing. Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn’t have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I’ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors. I have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey…it should be an honest and fun ride!
This is good stuff….
Great video, I appreciate you giving us the juice on the Carolina rig, I will be coming back to this video until I get it memorized!🎣
Yeah show em old school frank the tank
I know a older tournament fisherman that does nothing but C rig.
This past weekend the post front bluebird day kicked my A. I thought about what he told me. You need to throw that c rig on those days. That is when it shines. Do you agree with this? Do you ever tell yourself on those post front days when it is tough, time to break out the c rig? I noticed the blue sky and sun in your video like I was fishing in Yesterday..
Great info, again. I don't fish a c rig much but I will try it. Thanks.
Carolina Rig has been an East Texas staple for over 30 years .I keep 2 on my deck almost year around👍
I live near and fish mostly Highland Lakes. No grass just mostly rock will this work for as well on those ? I have used a C Rig with a lizard with some success but that's about it.
Good one Todd, old school 😂
Just got back from Lake Chickamauga and we struggled. I told my partner that when we struggle, go back to the basics and throw your confidence baits. He finally caught a 5.25 lber. I DREAD having to throw a carolina rig, to the point I am stubborn, but I do realize it's important to humble yourself and get it back out on those sunny, clam water conditions.
How useful is the C-rig in the Ozark region? So many vertical/jagged drops. Is this mainly for gravel banks around here? Thanks for the video.
👍 Thanks for another great video! Your no nonsense keep it simple approach is awesome
Another great tip is to use a tungsten football head weight as a c rig, it really helps from getting snagged in the rocks. Still hang up but its at least half
I know its going to be a long day if i have to pull out the C rig😂, its not my favorite thing to do, it really bothers me to drag a ball and chain
Great Content
Todd hard to tell in the video do you have the clacker between the wieght and swivel or above it ? I would assume above it ? I always used glass before but I’ve had em break to I think clacker is the way after watching this just want to get the most out of it … also any take on the strike king ez c rig ?
Good stuff
Excellent video… and it points out a problem that many fishermen have…. Making things more complicated than they need to be. Simple is good.
Todd, I got a question. How cold can the water be to fish a carolina rig? Got a tournament saturday and water temps are about 50°. Do you consider 50 warm enough to fish it?
I throw Carolina Rig more than anything, and a jerkbait, Dang Todd, you are the stick man, Awesome Female
Great video i love the C-rig,it's always tied on
My buddy taught his daughter to fish using a C-rig and he literally told her.."feel em bite, make sure it's heavy, start reeling fast, let the fish and a good hook do the work" no traditional hookset, and she has caught quite a few giants.
Great video! This is my favorite YT fishing channel! Gotta throw the C-rig more!!
Is that bird poo all over your front graphs?? 😂😂😂
Do you still have the Haymarket hook in your arsenal? You use to rave about that hook
Try a gp coffee tube with a couple foam ear plugs stuffed in it on your c rig around bream beds
