Who uses the pre-made Carolina Rigs?
Any of them better than the others? Do you prefer to make your own? What sizes? I dislike the C-Rig but need to add it to my set of skills...
Thanks in advance

nope don't use the premade ones.
as for size it all depends on the depth you are looking to fish as well as the bait size.
For me I usually use a 1/2 oz worm/egg weight above a pair of glass beads to a swivel to my leader. I use to use a tungsten weight but was losing too many of them and went back to lead. I know some people use steel or brass weights for more noise.
I've got hooks I like and line I like, why buy pre-made? I've never understood not people not liking a rig that catches so many fish.
yeah do not buy the premade ones cheaper to make your own plus you can mix it up. If the fish are hugging the bottom you can use a fluro leader which helps your bait stay closer to the bottom. Use mono for the leader if you want your bait to rise somewhat with a floating plastic bait. You can use creature baits, flukes, worms, senkos, lizards and hardbaits. I think the carolina rig is very versatile. I read in a magazine about using a floating rapala with it and laughed at the Idea, but I have caught some really nice bass with that rig it sucks that rapalas are now 7 dollars so I dont use the rig so much anymore.
Thanks for the help folks!!! I'll definitely be rigging some up on my own... I read once of using a jig as the weight... doubling up the chances of a bite?
Anybody tried this?
yea theres a guy here who makes a carolina rig jig just for that purpose it looks cool never tried.. i use a football jig as a weight a lot.. be careful though in some tourneys you cant have two hooks on your line
the ones you buy are crap!!!!!only takes a few mins. to rig the Carolina
