Hey DRY ROD good choice.
I use the same carolina rig set up as well the bigger trout in my area seem to be a lil wiser. Yep as soon as they feel any tension on the line or on the rig they spit the hook. I find the younger smaller trout not to be as smart. You can just use a pickerel rig or what ever. So how do you trick the bigones? Heres how open your spool after casting the rig, let the fish when useing this combo freely able to take line when needed. How much line is enough? I let them take about 5 ft of the line you will see the line spooling off your reel watch it and count. I generally just count to ten slowly and then set the hook!! and hang on. Dont get excited if its a lil trout they wont drag it very far but the big bows have no trouble spooling line off your reel.[
Not a big fan of the power bait but a inflated nightcrawler now were talking.
