I'm planning on trying out a carolina rig for some inshore fishing next month. I'm going to use 4" Berkely Gulp shrimp but I'm not sure which hooks to use. Offset seem to make the most sense but I wanted to see what others have used successfully before. It'll be over soft sandy bottom.

I use a Gamakatsu TGW Octopus offset for Carolina rigs.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By zach_: Is there Largemouth Bass in AZ? Our reservoirs are full of them. I like a simple split shot rig for most of my soft plastic sinking baits. Berkley has been my go to soft bait brand for decades. I like to keep the entire rig as light as possible for the conditions.

It'll be over soft sandy bottom. Yes, there are largemouth bass in the resevoirs here. I'm planning on using it in saltwater inshore, so I'll need it to be heavier for the currents. I'm also planning on using Berkley Gulp baits. Thank you for your recommendations, I will keep them in mind next time I go to the lakes. |

Carolina rigged Gulp shrimp are awesome on flounder. I have caught a ton that way.
