Ok so I now have all my gear to go bass fishing and im using some soft plastic tubes and brush hogs mainly using a carolina rig. I will be fishing in lakes for small mouth and large mouth. After casting what are some good methods of retrieval for the lures other than just reeling it in. for instance should i pause for so many seconds after the bait hits the water then reel? or should i reel then pause for so many seconds then reel again?
Tubes I use a tube jig and....just jig it. Brush hogs I'd rig texas style and pitch it into weeds.
Bass WILL hit a motionless bait. With a carolina rig, it is all about keeping it on the bottom. Try to drag the weight on the bottom as much as possible, that makes noise, which attracts the fish. As far as how to reel it in, try a lot of different techniques until you get a bite, then try to duplicate what you were doing. But the most important thing with a c-rig is to keep that bait on the bottom, just drag it along, eventually something will grab it. Good luck.
