I use the same set up. Have done well on many creature baits and also caught some good fish using centipedes.
For me it's good for getting the skunk out of the boat. A turd worm or trick worm depending on water temp is good for when things get REALLY tough. I hate fishing the ball and chain normally but sometimes you do what you gotta do. I'd rather throw it over a lamp shade any day of the week!

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
All I know is a Zoom speedcraw doesn't work well, honest.

My favorite weight is the old Gambler

I use a mono leader and fish a brush hog or a big speed worm most of the time. I use my 7.5 foot flipping, frogging, and C'rig rod with 65 pound braid on a Lews Super Duty.
Used on deep Smallmouth with tubes. I have had success in weeds, normally shallow ones that are thick but holes like on the Potomac.
It's more of a split shot, but a 1/8 bullet made up as c rig over deep thick milfoil, has been very successful.
Just picked up a daiwa tatula 200 hs (7:1 ratio) for Carolina rigging over the weekend. I use a falcon bucoo sr 7'4" and a 8:1 tatula CT with 20 lb test currently and nearly spool it every cast. (I use 1 and 1 1/4 oz tungsten weights). Can't wait to see if I can sling one even further this year and keep my hook up ratio.
This video has got me even more hyped thank you.
I don’t do it often but when I do it’s a 1oz brass sinker with an orange bead before the swivel. 30lb Suffix 832 main line, 4-6’ of 14lb Big Game on either a baby brush hog or a floating worm rigged Texas style. I use an old Jimmy Houston Shimano Rod, 7’ hvy/Fast with an old Quantum Accurist.

I don’t know if I’m to violent when I cast but I always make the weight move the bobber stop when I tried it.
Braid with 12 or 14lb mono leader for me. 3/4 ounce tungsten weight most of the time.
For those that use carolina keepers, do you still use the bead/clacker or just let the weight slide into the keeper? I carolina rig a lot for 2 months and almost always use 1/2oz sinker
i use 20lb fluoro mainline and 20lb fluoro leader and struggle with breakoffs due to the weigh fraying my line something awful pretty quick. Been thinking of switching to 20lb big game this year just for my car rig
They aint got hands, set the hook
I just use the Carolina keeper , no bead. Kind of like a mojo/split shot rig on steroids lol

Usually have at least 3 different C rigs. My favorite way to fish. Slow and easy on an old man.
Started fishing BFL's as a Co up on the river last year. Learned quick that c rig is a CO's best friend.
30lb braid 1oz tungsten w/2 beads,15 sniper, creature bait or a 10" worm. This has worked great for me. Have on the deck everytime the boat is on the water.
