The Carolina rig is a fairly new jigging method first used for Perch fishing in the USA. In Carolina fishing, you have a long leader between the jig and the sinker, ideal for fishing among weeds or on soft bottoms. Instead of a jighead, a sliding drilled ball sinker is used, so you can have direct contact with cautious fish. The glass beads between the swivel and the sinker are important. When you pause during retrieval, it gives a clicking sound which attracts prey fish.

Fladen's ready-to-go package includes three jigs, drilled ball, hand-tied rig with fluorocarbon, offset hook, glass bead and swivel. Available in red and green.
