About This Technique:

The Texas Rig is a popular method to rig soft plastic baits so they're virtually weedless and snag-proof, allowing you to effectively fish in heavy cover and structure with confidence. To set up a Texas Rig, start by choosing your favorite soft plastic worm, crayfish, or creature bait. Next, choose the appropriately sized EWG (Extra Wide Gap) hook. Depending on how deep you're fishing and what type of structure you're fishing in, you might want to add a bullet weight to your Texas Rig. You can let the weight slide freely along the line for a more natural presentation, or secure it with a bobber stopper to keep it in place so your Texas Rig penetrates through heavy cover with ease. Menace Baits offers a variety of top quality soft plastics and the necessary tackle to make a Texas Rig. Shop our Texas Rig kits, fishing lures, and tackle below!
