The Carolina rig gets bit when nothing else will, but most anglers aren’t getting everything they can out of it. Peter Thliveros built a career with the technique and breaks down the details that separate simply dragging a C-rig from actually understanding what the rig is telling you.

Peter also explains the Petey Rig, the finesse version he developed that breaks many of the rules of a traditional Carolina rig—and when he’d rather throw it.

What you’ll learn:
• Why Peter believes most anglers fish a Carolina rig too light and too fast
• How much weight he uses and why heavier sinkers improve bottom contact
• How he reads rock, shell, gravel, grass, and transitions through the rig
• How Peter drags, pauses, snaps, and changes retrieve speed based on the fish
• Leader length, line, hooks, and bait selection for a traditional Carolina rig
• Why switching to a Fluke became one of the biggest changes in his C-rig fishing
• How the Petey Rig differs from the standard Carolina rig and when it shines
• How Peter uses both rigs to find productive water and generate bites when fishing gets tough

Guest: Peter Thliveros, 8 time national tour winner, retired professional angler, longtime Carolina-rig specialist, and creator of the Petey Rig.
