Our Wired2fish staff was pleasantly surprised when Jacob Wheeler grabbed an old school Carolina rig and started catching the heck out of pressured bass from an offshore school on the Tennessee River. Wheeler has been making good use of classic presentations like deep cranking, Texas rigging and Carolina rigging in recent tournaments with outstanding success. He takes the time to provide a detailed rigging walkthrough and explanation of how to fish the Carolina rig to catch bass others are missing.

Wheeler walks through the entire rig from terminal tackle (i.e., hook, weight, swivel and line) to his top 3 soft plastic baits. He spends a good deal of time explaining his preference for lightwire EWG hooks attached to a lighter monofilament leader while using a heavier fluorocarbon mainline. Wheeler goes so far to classify his Carolina rig setup as a finesse rig — the bait glides along in an extremely natural fashion that bass can’t resist. Additionally, Wheeler explains the offshore situations when a Carolina rig excels and how to fish the setup in current.
