*There's very few people left in the world like Roland, today.* 99% of these shows, have a goal of either trying to sell/market everything on the boat. Or, they're showing us their wealth of knowledge, as opposed to actually teaching something. Like they love listening to themselves talk. You can feel it when someone is genuinely trying to help you. I was working at Bass Pro Shops, Orlando for a while, and he was there on a slow day, all by himself for some kind of event, and I told him I'm from the Midwest, trying to figure out Florida freshwater fishing (which, I was at the time). It was just a simple comment in passing, and in the context of the situation... And, proceeded to spend what must have been an hour walking me up and down the aisle's of the store showing me setup's, gear, what to use, what will work, what to stay away from, when to use it, how to tie terminal tackle, etc, etc.... It was the most genuine experience I've had to date with someone of his success, caliber, and legendary status. I'm not sure the young people get what a forefather Roland is to fishing....at least as far as syndicated shows go. Roland, Al Linder, Hank Parker, Bill Dance.... All us old guys know exactly what I'm talking about. We didn't grow up being able to watch a fish hit your bait on a screen that cost $2K. And, neither did those guys. The way they talk, and how they teach is so relatable, clear, and genuine. They don't assume ANY-one's knowledge, and explain things as if it's the first time someone is seeing it. And, if people are combing KZfaq for "How-to" videos, then it quite possibly is. Thank you again, to Roland for all he's done for the industry.

I grew up watching you on TV as a little kid and now as a grown man I'm watching you on youtube. I can't even begin to tell you how much you have taught me over the last 28 years I've been watching you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to teach us new techniques. Maybe one day I'll get lucky enough to shake your hand and tell you thank you in person.

Liked before watchin’! You know if it’s Roland, it’s gonna be good! Thanks Roland!

You know; Lizards are my favorite bait for Carolina Rigs I never use anything else. They work everywhere shallow water, deep water, weeds, wood, and rocks. I fished with a friend and he used it all the time. I never used a Carolina Rig until I saw how he caught bass, walleye and catfish dragging that thing everywhere. He seldom changed lures unless I was catching bass and he wasn’t. The truth be known, he caught more bass than I did, all the time. He liked a one-ounce egg sinker and red beads. He never used anything but 20-pound monofilament and 15-pound leaders. Watching your video made me think of him and that dam ball and chain he loved to use. Thank you for bring back a the memories I had fishing with him.

Don't get me wrong, I like watching Scott's videos too (and I've watched more of them than my wife is comfortable with)...but, watching yours makes me feel like a guy just learning from their dad. Now that you're doing the YT thing, I'm sure your subscribers are going to keep going for a while. Maybe the youngins don't know about you, but they will now. Keep giving Scott hell on his challenges too! I love watching you guys fish together. This was a good Carolina rig tutorial. That was a nice 6.6lb girl! Also, you got me using both sides of the senko and biting the tail off a bit, and getting molds to melt down the old ones into new ones... I figure, if YOU are reusing them...who the heck am I not too?!

A Carolina rig is my go to for big bass.I will even "dead stick" it and watch my line for the slowest moment in the line then RollUp the slack, and bam .I fish from the shoreline around docks and structure I like a 4 or 6 inch green lizard hooked thru the head and come out beside the head and back thru just behind the front leg so the hook is in the side and not underneath as it gives it more action ,I think. Roland you are my fishing hero I am in my mid 50s and h as very watched you since I was a pup. God Bless you and your family

I've been fishing in Florida for over 40 years and I feel like a preschooler listening to Roland, he knows so much and loves to share his knowledge. I have learned more in hours watching his videos than I have with actual experience. Thank you Roland, you are the GOAT

All these years and you still put a smile on my face 👊

Perfect tutorial I use this method everytime I go bass fishing at my local lake!

Back in 1975 I started following Rolland and Bill Dance. Can not beginning to tell you how much I've learn from these gentlemen over the years. Thanks Rolland 👍

Learn something new every time I watch, thanks

Awesome catch. Thanks for the tips Roland!

I love watching roland martin so much wisdom and hes funny

Carolina is one of my favorite rigs. Up here in WA there’s a ton of grass so weedless is the only way to go. I’ve always been told the bead protects the knot from being pinched off by the sliding weight.

Thank you Roland!!! Still catching fish after all these years. Been watching since I was a kid with my grandpa!!!

Roland I watched your tv show in the 1980’s. I’m curious if this lake is the same iron ore strip pit lake you fished back then? You did one particular show where you fished out in deep water with a Jig and pig. You went on to explain in the video that people thought of you as mainly a shallow water fisherman but you went to say that you actually preferred to fish deep water structure. That was one of my favorite shows you did. It introduced me to structure fishing as a young teenager. That was such a memorable video for me.

Still excited for fishing after all there years...gotta love it. Motivates me to try new techniques!

“That’s the deal” thanks again Roland for another great and informative video. 👍👍🎣🎣

Excellent information. I have known about the Carolina rig for quite a while but have not used it nearly enough or even properly. Thanks so much for this informative video. The best I have seen on the Carolina rig. Roland is the best.

I like that you're concerned for the fish. Maybe others will follow.

Hello Roland, I follow all your you tube videos, I'm over 70 and fish 3 to 4 days a week and hunt ginseng. I Admire your stamina and enthusiasm, a 5 pound bass in our Yankee lakes is like shooting a 10 pt. Buck, it's a big deal. It was 8 degrees this morning. You got us onto senkos. Remember in the early 60's the big purple worm craze, now you never hear about purple worms. Keep makin videos.

I dont know when I learned more from Roland, when I was 12 years old in 1982, or today.... Either way, he is THE GOAT!!!

Really miss bass fishing in the winter (Eastern NC). Over here in Bali for the last ten years. Guess I'll have to run up to Japan one day as they've stocked bass in some of their lakes. Carolina Rig is my go to lure and really versatile for salt water fishing too.

Roland's the man! This guy has probably forgotten more about fishing than most of us will ever know in our entire lives.

Love your instructional videos. You’re the best on youtube!!

The greatest Bass Slayer is still doing it son thanks Roland,👍🏈👍🏈

Roland it’s because of you I became a decent worm fisherman! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!👍

Awesome video!!! So informative and enjoyable....Thank you Roland

Love All of your videos, especially the teaching ones .. Keep'em coming ...

I never use this rig very much I don't know why but I will start to use it more Thank you Roland like always your knowledge is so valuable to all of us who have been watching you for years

Thank you for your videos! I was taught how to fish at the ocean and I've never had luck in my home state of West Virginia, and its been a real pain finding out how you're supposed to use the different baits. I feel like I've learned more from a few hours of watching your videos than I have in all the years of me catching next to nothing!

LOVE YOUR SHOWS MATE Here in the UK its cold and a little of you brightens things up Stay healthy brother

Hadn't fished the Carolina rig in years but November 2019ad I went back to it and had a blast!!!!!!

Man you are by far my favorite you tube fishing guide! Got me some 297 green pumpkins just have to get out on the boat and put them to work. Keep up the great content!

I have got to try the Carolina rig more often! Awesome video!

U really no how to make someone want to get back into fishing every sense my dad and brother passed kinda just quit fishing but the way u do your videos inspire me right back into it don't no what it is but it's working went out got a new rod and some tackle thank u

I grew up with you watching you Roland. Love the Carolina rig but we downsize . Spinning reel with a pegged weight with a toothpick usually a brush hog or JR. Brush hog. Thanks

Great details on using this rig. Thanks.

Thanks Roland! Love the videos

Love it, Is like going to Harvard with Professor Roland... Love your vids, now In waiting for one on how to read maps, what to look for and how to find fish with maps and electronics

Great video and great Bass

Oh son, Woooo! That was a good video Roland.

An Old man told me this about worm fishing .. he says “ they don’t have hands if the line is moving it’s in his mouth set the hook already “

Love your video Roland... I'll be using this style and will video it...

That first fish with the red or bruise top lip tells me hes been picking at rocks for crawdads. So craw type lures would hit too.

Roland, I love watching you just like I did in the 1980's! Could you go to a 1/2 hour show on KZfaq? It just ends so fast!

40 ft of floating rope + 1 eye bolt + 1 ice cream tub + 1 gallon of portland cement = 1 Georgian Bay spot lock

Great video! Thanks!

Use the Carolina rig a lot up here in South Carolina Roland great video.

I've caught hundreds on carolina rig .Its the truth glad you did a video on Carolina rig go get um

Nice bass I love your videos

Great video

“I know a guy”. LOL.

I’ve caught dozens of Bass on that rig. 👍🏻🎣

Your always on your game roland

I've tried the Carolina Rig a couple of times before, with no luck. I worked it up hill from the deep water & no bites. I Won't Ever try it again. It's a waste of Time to try it. I'll fish a Ned Rig or Wacky Worm. Maybe a Texas Worm Rig. Thanks for the Video Roland.

Catching them that way i agree is the best way on structure

In a friends pond, we take needle nose and pinch down the barb on the worm hook, to save fish from swallowing hook.

thanks son, you are the master

ive been trying to find out what the beads are for. thanks roland!

Thanks again, picked up some great tip which I will put to use. Dan73

If I could change one thing about Roland’s KZfaq channel, I’d add the theme song from his television show. I miss that song.🤔

Nice

Enjoy your videos very much I've learned alot! We're you fishing in tournaments back when you were coaching the Miami dolphins in the 70s?

Thank you for the great content!! Been a “follower” of yours since the 80’s!!! Question: I’ve notice a lot of pros are fishing rods with the “bump heel” handle. Why is this of benefit? Thank you in advance, Roland!!!

Am I the only one who wishes they could adopt Scott as their grandfather?

Another great video. Where U fishing? I believe U said Fl., but I see hills in the background, Tx?

CAROLINA RIG'S MAH EVERYTHING SON! :-) THANK YOU SIR!!!

Mr. Martin out here going against perfectionists like Tacticalbassin...

How can I buy a Roland Martin Marina one of the white ones. Love what your doing brings back great memories of past fishing shows. Roger

Enjoy your teaching Roland .

Bead simply protects the knot

GOAT!!!

Hi Roland, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have never fished the Carolina Rig, when you where saying you are getting a "bit", are you feeling it or are you watching the line?

5 6 7 or 8 lb bass...lv it..

😁😁😁😁 at the end of this video, i did notice the crane in the background which I see in alot of your videos. Is this video shot in 2 different locations?

Hey Roland, I had happened across your channel while doing ALOT of researching in to bass fishing. In years past Ive done alot of pan fishing for blues and crappie, mainly bobber or sometimes a light jig and a 2" grub. This Christmas my Grandfather gifted me a whole box of fishing things to go though. everything from spinnerbaits to top water frogs and poppers, just all kinds of stuff. for someone who hasnt targeted bass before, whats some advice you can give?

Should I use a carolina rig or texas rig with 12 inch worm in deep water off shore ? What do you think about 12 inch worms off shore deep water ? like or dislike ?

hello from Montreal, Canada ! so Carolina Rig is for the big ones. If I want to cathc 100 small ones, what do you reccomend ???

That looks like a new style of real from the norm on the show that's a nice reel what kind is it?

Roland, what was that tail dye you used?

Which lake were you fishing at? I'm also in Florida (Lakeland).

Roland, that bead doesn’t protect the line, it protects the weight from damaging the knot. I’m not 100% convinced of its effectiveness though.

Amazing technique. Its a big misconception that you have to use a really heavy weight in my opinion.

You need to try the Cowboy on that C-Rig

Hey Roland long time fan I will be down on the Kissimmee chain end of january Any tips for locating them on all that water, baits to try?

What a great video👍👍. Can you add spot lock to any trolling motor ?

Do you think that rig would work on walleye?

Mr Roland do you ever use Mann's hardnose jelly worms on your Carolina rig or floating worms?

No Bass are bad Bass. Priceless

SON!

i wanna catch the big ones too.

Where is that pond at? I'd like to fish it sometime.

Do you have a video for throwing a Carolina rig from the shore sir?

Sorry Roland, " asleep at the switch",I know the realization

I wouldn't mind catching a hundred little ones every now and then. Although I know what you mean catching a 2 plus pounder is where it's at. Hey, I live in Canada, not Florida....... A 7 lb bass on a 5-inch worm, unbelievable.

Is this on Okeechobee?

The 14 dislike are 14 big bass

Roland could you please tell me what that fluid is you put on the tail of that lure please ALIEN

Have you ever kayak fished and how fun is it?
