The CAROLINA MOJO RIG

[Herman Nel]

Hi Guys!

Here is a "secret" rig that the Americans use in deep water.
They call it the "CAROLINA MOJO RIG".
One of my mates in California sent me the info,dont know if anybody else has seen or fished it,but it looks bloody good and I am sure it is gonna work in South-Africa.

Regards

Herman

Wont the bass get confused ? They might strike the Rattle strap instead.

Put a spinner skirt on the mojo with a circle hook "drop shot"

dont know why not, i have seen bass chasing the mojo and only then realise but hey that not something to chew on.

Psss cool rig another winner by Mr. Nel and hid buddies

will give it a go in the quarry sometime

in clean water where the bass can see the lure it could work...in dirty water or really deep i think the bass is gona get confused...vibration and noise in 2 different places...just my opinion

or what i would do is put a small fluke with a short leader close to the swivel just in case it goes for the rattle...but hey one thing i have come to realise with bass fishing is they dont read the same books as we do...with bass fishing anything is possible.

Well guys, I am sure it will work, I know bass will hit the soft plastic as the rattles only calls it in...let me give a good example...Have you ever caught a bass with the Blades of the spinnerbait in its mouth? Nope, they always hit the skirt (where the hook is)!

They somehow know,or identify what is edible...

... except for this one "DumBass" in the dam at the clubhouse at Leopard creek golf course. After missing the green on the 9th a bit my white Nike 2 ball ended up in water about 1.5 m deep. When I walked onto the island green to look were in the water my ball was, there was a bass of about 2 odd kilos less than a foot away from the ball, eying it and waiting for it to move so it can turn into lunch!

not on a spinner bait because there is no hook on the blade...but on an inky dink i have on many occassions....this is a spinnerbait blade on a hook...in fact this was one of our baits never mentioned in public till today...because of its success rate while fishing as team cranky in 2006 with shannon munn.

 

 

 

[Herman Nel]

I think I know the lure you are talking about, but the point is that if there is only a blade,like a inline mepps spinner, bass will hit the whole thing, but add some wire,more blades and the skirt and they hit the skirt and not the blades. i have watched underwater footage of bass hitting spinnerbaits, they never go for the blades... interesting stuff indeed!

what still amazes me about some of the underweater footage i have watched...is how they take an entire crankbait hooks and all then just open their mouth and let it go again...that still blows my mind...that why when i hear people saying you dont need a sentive rod for cranking...i tend to differ.

I've been bassing with the same rig(without the snag-thing) for the past 3 years.Use it 98% of the time for just about any type of structure.Just vary the length of your leader as one would normally do with different condtions.Works super with Tiki Shadicks,Trickworms and stretch 40's,depending on sinker weight.Shake,stop-start retrieve,or any way you want ot present your plastic,fast or slow.

Cheers
