| 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. |

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. |
