Yes I have, but for now I am going to keep focused on the soft plastic with light jigs and the techniques having to do with them. Carolina rigging is deadly in certain flats and low energy situations but the energy of the presentation with jigs is different and is complex in and of itself. The key energy is the fall rate of the jig which is modified by the weight of the jig and the thickness of the line and the size of the plastic lure. For instance a small lure (3" grub) with a 1/8 oz jig sinks at a faster rate than a 1/8 oz jig with a (5" grub) That difference in fall speed is important. A carolina rig with a floating worm fishes differently because the weight is on the bottom and it is the length of leader that determines where it will fish and the dragging across the bottom of the weight with the line going through the middle of the weight freely to the worm that is floating up off the bottom predetermined by the length of leader, short to keep it close to the weight and close to the bottom or long to let it rise higher that is the trigger. Dragging the sinker pulls the lure down and pausing causes it to rise. The opposite is true with little jigs a pause causes them to sink and a pull causes them to rise. One lure is rising or holding steady and one is falling at a controlled speed both are good techniques and they are opposite in their function.
