I’m new to reef fishing. Just wondering what kind of rig to use out there on the bottom. Dropshot or carolina rig. Just to clarify I’m talking about the reefs 3 to 10 miles out. Thanks for any help.
I am not the authority around here but I have had luck at the nearshore reefs and the Charleston 60 with pompano rigs (drop-shot rigs) and Carolina rigs. Don’t buy the pre-made shiny metal steel leader rigs from Walmart unless you are targeting sharks and stingrays. Reds are finicky. Use the lightest amount of lead you can to stay on bottom and circle hooks. I generally use 40# mono with a 4-0 to 6-0 circle hook when targeting bulls. Good luck out there.
