The Texas Rig is a popular fishing technique used primarily for bass fishing. It involves a specific setup where a soft plastic bait is threaded onto a hook, which is then weighted with a sinker. This rig allows the bait to be presented in a weedless manner, making it effective for fishing in heavy cover like lily pads or brush piles. To create a Texas Rig, anglers typically use a bullet sinker that slides onto the line before tying on a hook. The bait is then positioned so that it sits straight and can easily be cast into various water conditions. This method is favored for its versatility and effectiveness in attracting fish.
