Texas rigged is a weight right against the hook. The hook is buried

The
Carolina rig is same hook, but a geavy weight, then a swivel and then
15-20"
leader to the hook.

Nope. With a Carolina rig, the weight is ABOVE the swivel, which is
usually around 3 or 4 feet above the hook. The weight is an egg sinker,
so it will go to the bottom, and the line will slide through the
weight.

Carolina rig is probably not great in BC, as it is for
muddy, silted in bottoms.

Nope. the Carolina rig CAN be used in silty situations, but is isn't
FOR them. There are many, many areas, and conditions where a Carolina
rig is affective. Further, it was first developed to fish DEEP
structure.


I said it was above the swivel. Read for understanding. And DEEP in the
south is not DEEP in the west. The big weight made a commotion in the silt
and the worm stayed above the bottom.
