Standalone Rigs:
How, where, and why it excels
Carolina Rig (1/4–1/2 oz • 18–36" leader)
When & where: Points, saddles, and offshore grass edges.
How: Slow drag with 2–3 ft pulls; feed brief slack so legs waft behind the weight.
Why: Classic salamander/creature cue for searching and covering water.
Punching Rig (3/4–1 1/4 oz • pegged)
When & where: Heavy mats and cheese; late spring through fall.
How: Short flips; let it crash through; shake on bottom 2–4 sec; rip out clean.
Why: Slender body gets through; long profile draws bigger bites under canopies.
Texas Rig (3/16–3/8 oz • texposed)
When & where: Brush, laydowns, and grass lanes; beds in spring.
How: Hop‑hop‑soak; kill it after deflections so the appendages breathe.
Why: Weedless control for working cover with a big silhouette.
Weighted Swimbait Hook (1/8–3/16 oz keel)
When & where: Sparse grass lanes and shallow wind lanes.
How: Slow grind with stalls; keep it straight; occasional rod pops.
Why: Keel keeps the long body tracking; tail/leg pulse sells followers.
Weightless / Light Texas (1/16 oz max)
When & where: Calm pockets and shallow sight lanes.
How: Swim‑swim‑pause; glide and let it settle; watch your line.
Why: Silent entry + long glide for spooky shallow fish.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Shorten 1/2–1" for slower fall or to match small forage.
- Dip tail tips for stain (chartreuse/orange) while keeping body natural.
- Use a heavy‑wire 4/0–6/0 EWG or straight‑shank for cover.
Color Classes
Select from the available colors above. Pick by clarity first, then rotate inside the class.
Naturals (Greens/Browns) — clear, pressured, sunny
- Why: Matches bluegill/craw tones; least intrusive.
- Use: Texas/Carolina with long pauses after contact.
- Examples: Green pumpkin family, watermelon variants, brown craws.
Dark / Silhouette — mud, low light, night
- Why: Max silhouette; easiest for fish to track.
- Use: Punching/texas; slow the cadence; add scent.
- Examples: Black/black-blue, junebug/purples.
Craw / Reds / Browns — rock, wind, spring/fall
- Why: Crayfish cue on bottom contact and in wind.
- Use: Carolina and Texas on rock/gravel; deflect then kill.
- Examples: Pumpkin/orange, GP + red flake, brown/amber mixes.
Shad / Pearl / Silver — baitfish, bright days, suspended
- Why: Minnow signal for swimming/keel‑hook presentations.
- Use: Weighted swimbait hook; slow grind with stalls.
- Examples: Pearl/white, silver/smoke, translucent ghosts.
High‑Viz / Signal — heavy stain, wind, sight work
- Why: Trackability for you; reaction for them.
- Use: Punching and Texas in vegetation; short pops.
- Examples: Chartreuse, bubblegum, fire‑orange accents.

On‑the‑Water Notes
- Post‑front: Carolina slow‑pull; kill after rocks/grass clumps.
- Mats: Punch; let it sit 2–4 sec; many bites on the first drop.
- Shallow lanes: Keel‑hook slow swim; add brief stalls for followers.
Q&A
Q: Why a 10" creature over a 6–7" worm?
A: The bigger silhouette displaces more water, calling bigger fish in vegetation and during low light—yet it still slips cover with a streamlined body.
Q: Hook sizes?
A: Texas/weightless with 4/0–6/0 EWG or straight‑shank; punching with 4/0–5/0 heavy‑wire; keel hooks 4/0–6/0 with 1/8–3/16 oz.
