I've only used carolina rigs catfishing, but my buddy uses them for bass. He uses a half oz egg slip sinker above the swivel and maybe 2ft of leader. He rigs the hook texas/weedlessand uses plastic worms or crawfish. He casts it close to structure, lets it hit the bottom, holds his rod tip up and slowly reels it across the bottom all the way back to the boat occasionally stopping or twitching. Thats how ive seen him do it and everytime hes done it with me in the boat hes caught some decent lm and sm bass. Ive never had any luck with it. I think it takes some getting used to.
