Re: Carolina Rig, what is your line set-up

For me there are advantages to carolina rigging with a swivle vs the mojo weights. For 1/4oz and under the mojo or peg its work great but to me this is really heavy split shotting. The heavy weight with the line freely running through allows the fish to pick up the line without much resistance, it ...

Re: C/R, what is your line set-up

I use the mojo pegs. it takes a few of them, but holds really well. I will use anywhere from an 1/8 to 3/4 oz weight depending on situation.

There is only one way to stop the spread.That's to think in reverse. If launch your boat at an affected body of water, then you must be required to affix a permanent tag on your vessel.

You'll find out that you have only gotten used to having the pedal on the deck, and that having the recessed pedal is the way it should be.
