It is best used with bait, but a lure like a trout worm works great. Rig tying note: Your leader should be a little longer than where you want your bait to be. Your bait will float at an angle under the bobber depending on currents, therefore, you need a longer piece of leader to reach that depth.
This rig is very similar to the Slip Bobber Rig for Trout. Instead of a slip bobber you use a clip on bobber. It is a lot easier of a rig to set up and generally gets the job done when you are fishing in shallower water. You can fish it with a lure or bait, fresh live bait works best! All you do to set it up is clip a bobber on your line however deep you want to be fishing.

Use this set up when fishing shallower current runs. Or you can use it to fish a lure above a piece of structure in the water and not get snagged! I have used variations of this rig for multiple species both fresh and saltwater. I specifically use the spinner rig for trout when I am fishing with an in-line spinner. However, this rig can be used with any lure that needs an extra bit of weight to get to the bottom. The bobber in the picture is a good size.
Sinkers: You want to get a small bag of split shot weights. Try to get non-lead weights if possible Bait: Worms work well with this method. I personally think Berkely trout worms are some of the best brook trout bait you can choose when bait fishing. Setting up the Rig Green thread used for visibility purposes. Bait Selection Three good fishing baits for beginners to try are: Worms: Few fish can resist such a calorie packed meal as a worm.
Berkley Trout Worms: These work just as well as real worms. The main difference is that the Berkley worms last much longer since they stay on the hook better. They are more expensive than real worms, but you get much more use out of one plastic worm than one live worm.
Fish love crickets on sunny days in mid to late summer, when wild crickets and grasshoppers are around. Good luck fishing, and tight lines! Then bait your hook and cast out your rig to the desired spot and wait for a fish to grab the bait.

Attach a leader to the other end of the swivel, and tie your hook to the leader. Choose the type and size of hook depending on the type of bait you want to use.

Next, thread the line through a plastic bead, and then tie it to a swivel or snap swivel. The bead stops the weight from banging into the swivel during retrieval, which protects the knot on the swivel from being damaged, and this is more important if you want to fish it actively.
When to use it: You can use this option anywhere where trout are feeding close to the bottom. How to use it : While you can also use this rig with a baited hook and fish it passively until a trout comes by and bites, the strength of the Carolina rig for trout lies in fishing it actively with a floating lure.
You can use a floating jig head with plastic lures such as trout magnets or power worms. After casting out, let it sink to the bottom, and then slowly retrieve it with a jigging movement. This is basically a finesse version of the Carolina rig, and instead of a sliding sinker it uses one or more split shots attached to the line.
How to tie it : Tie your main line to a swivel or snap swivel, and then add one or two split shots to the line right above the swivel. Next, tie a 1 to 2 foot long fluorocarbon leader to the swivel, and then tie your hook to the other end of the leader.

When to use it : While the drop shot rig was originally developed for vertical fishing in deep water from a boat, most bass anglers can tell you that it works equally well for casting from shore, and can even be fished in very shallow water. How to use it : Cast it out and slowly retrieve it by hopping the weight along the bottom, while jigging the lure up and down.
