THIS PAST WEEKEND I FISHED A LOCAL LAKE, GUYS WERE CATCHING FISH ON SPLITSHOT. I DIDN'T BRING MY SPLITSHOT RIG SO I CAROLINA RIGGED. I USED AN IMX 843 RIGGED WITH #12 STREN 1/4OZ PEGGED BULLET 14" ABOVE A 5" MAD MAN CRAW WORKING DOWNHILL FROM 4'-7' OFF THE EDGE INTO 15'-20' . I MISSED STRIKES THE FIRST ONE I DIDNT REEL DOWN ON THE FISH SET THE HOOK LIKE I WAS FISHING TEXAS RIG (DIDN'T DRIVE THE HOOK). SECOND ONE I PICKED UP LINE UNTIL IT STARTED TO LOAD UP AND THEN SET MISSED THAT TOO. AFTER YOU GET A BITE WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SET THE HOOK ON A CAROLINA RIG????<br><br>
