Texas rig

A Texas rig is a popular fishing technique used to present soft plastic lures through cover and structure convincingly. It involves threading a bullet-shaped weight onto the fishing line, then piercing the soft plastic bait and attaching it to a hook so that the weight sits ahead of the lure. This setup allows the bait to move naturally and quietly through weeds, trees, or submerged structures, mimicking real prey. The rig is widely favored for its weedlessness and natural presentation, making it effective for attracting species like bass in various freshwater environments.
