A soft plastic rig commonly utilized by bass and other freshwater anglers, the Texas Rig is known for its ability to remain weedless and be retrieved through all types of cover such as submerged vegetation, rocks, and wood without hanging up.
Slide a worm weight onto your line and tie on the worm, wide gap, or flipping hook of your choice. Insert the point of the hook into the nose of your worm, stickbait, lizard, creature, or craw and push it about a 1/2 inch into the bait, then exit the body. Slide the body over the eye of the hook, turn the hook 180 degrees, and re-insert the point. On some occasions, you may want to fish it weightless, like when in very shallow water or when you want your bait to fall through the water super slowly.
Push it all the way through, then back it off so that the hook point lies just beneath the surface of your bait. This position of the hook point is what makes it weedless while still being poised for quick penetration when a fish picks up the bait.
The Texas Rig is a great choice anytime you need a weedless, natural-looking bait worked slowly. You can allow the worm weight to slide freely to hold onto a light bite, peg it for better control in heavy cover, or fish the rig weightless.
A Texas Rig can be fished successfully through the thickest cover you can imagine — hydrilla, bulrushes, lily pads, grass mats, brush, and timber. It works the best and is most often used best in shallow to moderate depths.

View full detailsThe Madscad AT 190 is a perfect lure to add to an offshore trolling spread. I like to run two different colors off of each long outrigger. Offshore trolling has become a real science - between teasers and dredges, tag lines, etc., this lure runs true and deep. Most importantly, it out produces other hard baits 2 to 1.
I have purchased 4 total Shimano reel covers to protect my investments. I would like to tell you that they do a very good job in doing so. Keeps from scratching reels being taken out and put back in my rod lockers on the boat. Very good quality and I would highly recommend them.
They're great for striped bass and crappies on the Mississippi
Kastmaster is the most versatile metal lure. There is no wrong way to fish it. There are times smallmouth only eat metal spoon and metal jig. Don't leave home without couple Kastmaster in the lure box.
Fantastic tackle box. I purchased 2 prior to my most recent purchase. I liked the quality construction so much that I purchased 4 more to replace my old ones made by a different manufacturer. Quality product at a very reasonable price.
