Top Water Rig - Fishing Forum | Fishing Tackle | Fishing Gear

A buddy of mine was fishing in a shoot out last night and his partner pulled out a form of a carolina rig, but top water. He said it looked like this.

Line went to a golf ball size float, tied a leader about two feet long from it. A floating bug was the lure at the end. Was doing the 1,2,3, stop, 1,2,3, slow across the water. A small striper hit it and scared the hell out of his patner, said it was funny as hell.

Anyway, Just wondered if anyone had seen or used this set up before?

Thanks,

Yeah, I have used similar stuff. They call them "float and fly" and use them for smallies, and trout as well.

It is just a simple way to cast a small or very light lure

i recently saw a simliar rig on in fishermen (tv show) they were wacky rigging with bobbers 2 to 3 feet up the line they seemed to work well, I havent personaly tried this method yet however I think i will give it a try sometime

Well anyways Im just joining the forum and this is my first post, wanted everyone to know who I am and what I`m all about.

I build motorcylces here in Daytona Beach, Florida as a hobby have my own little back yard garage and everything, right now there is a metric bike
that is called a Johnny Pag that was in really good shape its a small metric chopper only 250cc but its one hot ass bike now that its customized a wee bit
Its my first build and well its in the style of an old rat chopper awesome bike it is my first build so I`m sorta predjudice on the subject.

Anyways I`m here to learn and grow as a biker enthusists, builder and lover of hott ass bikers and the bikes we ride.

This is a pic of my bike that I built my ole man has it up for sale on ebid for me but you can see how nice it is and maybe some day I will be as famous as jesse james lol
I`m not that good but inspire to be so. see my Johnny Pag Here

Does anyone know where I can buy more metric chopper or bobber frames, parts etc?
