Carolina-rigging soft-plastics for PLENTY speckled trout!

Carolina rigs are an integral part of most bass anglers’ arsenal, but generally, in the estuaries of South Louisiana, they’re used only with live shrimp or minnows impaled on the hooks.

My son, Joel, uses nose-hooked Matrix Shad soft-plastics to catch plenty speckled trout when they crowd ledges in the spring.

In this video, he shows you how to do it, and you can see for yourself its effectiveness.
