re: Setting up carolina and texas rigs

I fish the Louisiana marsh and use a Carolina rig quite often. Most of the methods previously mentioned work well, but I would suggest that you check out the Carolina Keeper manufactured by Woo Daves. You can find them at Bass Pro and if you don't like using a swivel or feel the need to use the Flourocarbon leader, they make tying a Carolina much faster. I have also found that you can use a clip on float and just above the egg sinker if you are have a limited number of rods and reels.
