The Chub King reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Carolina Rigs technique and Shimano Curado MGL 150 Casting Reel on Oneida Lake . Additional comments from this report: "Early summer/late post spawn pattern on the first week in July. Sunny and calm day with water about 71. The key was to find some different looking rock structure in that 10-15ft depth. Everybody's favorite ball and chain C-Rig produced the best. The fish were spitting up perch on the way to the boat though and could be caught with jerkbaits, I just couldnt get them as consistently as I could being on bottom."

Justin Logan reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Carolina Rigs technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel on Clarks Hill Reservoir.

These fish can be caught all day, but the better fish are being caught down the lake on long points throwing a C-Rig. Take your time and work these points good. You can catch multiple fish of of one spot."

Matt Luna reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Carolina Rigs technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel on El Capitan Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Hit up El Cap a couple weeks back and the lake was fishing tough for me. The fish were on some of the main points, and I had numerous bites throughout the day fishing a carolina rig. The fish were not committing very well. They would bite and let go. I managed to land one fish of all the bites I had. Missed one that I should have hooked as well. I was fishing the new 6th Sense Hogwalla creature bait. Similar to a brush hog style bait.
