Rigging the lure on the hook is the same for a Texas rig or a Carolina rig. Insert the point of an offset hook into the front of the bait, run it through roughly 1/4 inch, and push the hook point back out of the plastic. Thread the plastic all the way up the hook, around the offset bend, and over the hook eye and knot.
The idea is to suspend a bait (artificial such as a plastic worm or live or dead bait) off the bottom at a level that will put the bait in front of the fish and/or get the bait up and out of the gunk at the bottom. The weight is dropped vertically to the bottom and the bait is lightly shaken to attract attention.
