    Jeff, You rock! I was in professional education for a few years of my career, and I can tell you it is NOT easy to put together what you do. The learning objectives, outlines, planning the modules, cameras, microphones, script, and on and on, are a lot of hard work. I want you to know that we as learning fishermen really appreciate it!!!

    A well produced and presented video with excellent graphic category breakdowns. I don’t know if you ever (before your birth) seen the 1980’s commercially sold Carolina Rigs. They were pre rigged heavy 40+/- lb line with two 90 degree spring steel (stainless) elbows that held (about 1”) 20+/- lb line with two 3” finesse worms. The line went down the length of the plastic worm and had 2 hooks. One in the head, and one in the tail. The line was so stiff that the worms had a 90 degree kink in them from being folded in the package. I know that I was very skeptical when first seeing them, but on the first use at Lake Euphalla casting to a sandy beach with a fairly stiff wind and chop going on shore, 2 of us caught 24 bass in an hour. More than once, we caught two fish at a time. I have never seen these rigs sold since. Thanks, The old professor

    Hi man. In the UK, we dont have freshwater bass. However, that's never been a reason not to use the rigs and methods employed in the US because if they catch fish in one place, there's no reason they wont catch them somewhere else! This has been one of the best Carolina rig videos I have seen so far. The vast majority take you little further than just tying the rig with no explanations as to why this or hat feature of it, such as leader length. Let alone changing the way you cast out your line and why! As such, I really appreciate you taking the time to go thoroughly through the tying, casting, use of, where and when to use along with where, when and why to stop or seriously slow your retrieve. Thank you VERY much for such an in depth demo of the Caroling rig. It was eye opening to say the least!!! As for the bead, you can get what is a softer plastic bead that basically squeezes down over your knot. The bead is much softer than the knot material and thoroughly protects it. I have used them when fishing for 20lb+ fish over wrecks in the sea and at the end of the day, I pulled the bead off the knot to see how much protection or wear it had done to the knot. I was amazed to see the knot looking like I had just tied it. So if you can get these softer beadds, I would thoroughly recommend you givng them a try with this rig. Thanks again!
