We used to fish this style of rig back in the dark ages with a Mann's Jelly Worm (purple grape), but to avoid the line damage from a split shot on our 6lb and 8lb Trilene, we would clip the brass out of the tiniest bell sinker we could get and run it on the line pegged with a soft toothpick or a slice of rubber band pressed into the hole in the sinker. Worked great, especially on heavily pressured waters. The tapered bell sinker (now turned into a sort of primitive bullet weight) would come through cover much better than the round split shot ever did. Still use the rig today, 45+ years later and it still gets the bass.

`you sure are old How do I know I did the same Good things never change. Thanks for the memories

Haven't found a split shot yet that won't slide on fluorocarbon line! Mono no problem! Crimp it to hard and you will cut your line, I found if I wrap the line around the shot once and crimp it stays put, but now I just use 2 bobber stops before and after the light bullet weight and get the same effect.

I was shown this setup years ago by a teacher of mine that ran the Conservation Club ,of which I was a member. We would use worms & we often did very well on bluegills, bass, catfish etc....

A 6 inch straight tail Robo worm with a light wire 3/0 hook on that rig has been deadly for me this year

What a great reminder! I actually started bass fishing with this rig too many years ago to mention-I am as old as dirt-and it caught me a TON of fish. If you can find a worm with a bit of float to it that also has a curly tail, that also works great.

Nice dude. That’s a good idea

This is a good rig, when I tie the swivel on I leave a half inch tag end that I can crimp the split shot onto. That way it can't damage your main line.

In the south we have called it split shottin. I've used it for 40+ yrs. It's one of the most versatile ways to fish live bait and plastic baits as well.

I like using the split shots that are all without those little wings on them. It makes the beat spin around and you can get hung up to.

Dude, I'm 55, my Uncle is dead now, and he was fishing this rig when they came out with the Creme Worm a billion years ago

A Bull shot is a better weight for coming through weeds. It's a bullet shaped version of a split shot

I use a pegged 1/16 oz tungsten worm weight and a light wire 2/0 or 3/0 hook with a 6" fat roboworm. You don't need the boyant bait if you are using a light wire hook.

@nathanquincefishing7122

True!

I do a similar rig that’s kind of a cross between this and a Carolina rig. But, I prefer to peg a light weight instead of using a split shot. That 6th Sense worm really piqued my interest. I’m going to check those out! I currently use Lunkerhunt sticks that I cut in half. I also use them on Ned rigs. But, they fall faster than I’d like.

Nice! A light weight pegged works too!

The reason it's not talked about years ago it was modified into an adjustable sliding carolina rig small weight pegged with a tooth pick or two sinker stops. The split shot damages the line as you noted.

Split shot is removable and less expensive. But a bullet weight is less likely to snag, which is a big issue where I fish.

Am I missing something here? It seems the concept is to keep the worm just off the bottom but have the weight maintain contact with the bottom. Seems very similar to a drop shot rig to me.
