The texas rigs has been around for years but it is truly one of the most versatile rigs that we have as anglers to catch fish from deep water to shallow water, in the mud or in clear.
In this video I want to go over everything when it comes to a texas rig. I'll show you how the rig a texas rig, what my favorite plastics for a texas rig are, how i fish it deep, how I fish it shallow and some big texas rig mistakes.
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

I appreciate all the knowledge. I had a brain injury a while ago in Iraq and it caused me to forget alot about bass fishing. Your channel helped with my therapy. THANK YOU SIR!! RangersLeadTheWay!!
Tyler, thank you for the time and effort you put into the content of your videos! I’m an experienced, hard core bass fisherman and there is always something I take away from your videos which isn’t true for about 90 percent of the content available.
Thanks for watching! I try my best and I appreciate everyone who watches
John I can’t agree more, I feel like a beginner with all the stuff Tyler teaches, even as a hard core tornement angler😂
Tyler, 90% of of our fishing in my home province in Sojth Africa is texas rigged soft plastics due to the massive amount of grass. I found that a frog hook works really well and protects your soft plastic bait more than any other hook. Ga not affected our success rate at all. Stunning video and channel.
The artwork showing the bass hanging out at the roof belongs in a museum. Thank you for this video! Really helpful advice as always.
That tube hook you are using is a game changer! I almost stopped fishing a tube until I found the trokar tube hook. It sticks them and holds them.
Great job explaining and going through the details. Lots of good analysis laid out in a clear and concise manner.
Thanks for your input on this topic.
I use Berkley fusion screw lock swim bait hooks for my Texas rig stick baits and round bodied craws. It helps the bait not get flung off as often when the fish jumps and thrashes around.
Man, you are revolutionizing fishing. Love everything you're doing. Keep it up!!
Fellow Buckeye... loving the content, and it's nice to see someone finally mentioning using a tube for something other than St Clair smallies. I also love nose-hooking tubes on drop shots & carolina rigs... and, if all you have is hollow-body tubes, you can cut off a piece of a beat up senko and shove it in the tube for more "body" for the hook to bite into.
Really liked this one. Thank you
Very well put together
Glad to see I’m not the only one who throws swim baits and swims curly tails on a weighted Texas rig I’ve been slaying bass for years with Texas rig paddle tails only difference is I use cheap lead weights if I’m swimming them if I’m fishing on bottom I’ll use tungsten I also use ned heads for swim baits sometimes as well no wonder it’s like you read my mind were from the same area I’m from Indiana just across the Ohio border the same techniques work for us I use the Texas rig probably 60% of the time and I use the same techniques just different brands I prefer the bandito bug and split tail menace for flipping and I use yum dingers
I’ve been mid strolling/ hover strolling with a Texas rigged or texpossed VMC finesse neko size 1, Zman trd minnowz and an unpegged 1/32 oz weight. Amazing what a difference in casting and action in the water with and without the tiny weight. Fishing in 2 feet or less of water depth. Catching small bass though , 1-2lbers.
We fish texas rigs very similar along with the baits, found the adrenaline crawl last year caught a ton of fish on them, the Ol monster used to be my favorite big worm but found another Xzone winner, the Blitz Worm, it is made out of the same floating material as the adrenaline crawl, also love throwing a tube on a texas rig, I seem to get bigger bites on a tube, the BioSpawn Vile Tube is another great bait
I really like the way you compiled a lot of you other vids to dive on the Trig. In particular the different hook sets. Sometimes you gotta put the mustard on the dog!
Fav bass KZheadr! Love how you enjoy every catch!
Every fish is a lot of fun
I love and enjoy saltwater pier fishing out here in California and I like using the jika rig a lot for calico bass and spotted bay bass and for cabazon and mackerel fish 🎣👍🏼 💯% my favorite
Wonderful vid!!
Also the importance of setting the hook hard (per Dad 60 years experience) after you reel down will eliminate gut hooking the bass. It usually jerks the bait out of the crusher (throat) of the Bass and hooks in the roof or some part of the mouth.
One of the first here you are truly an inspiration for me and I have learned so much so thank you!!!
That means a lot…thanks for watching
I got a pack of those plum apple Ol monsters for $3 at ollies last fall been waiting for things to heat up to fish em. The powerbait 10" tequila sunrise power worms are also MONEY!
I did the same….. I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned about plum apple and grass… it WILL catch big ones!!
did you link your texas rig whight in the description? love your vids
i caught my PB largemouth last summer dragging a ribbontail worm on a highly pressured urban lake here in MI.
Tyler you have to try the Z-man GOAT sometime, I have found that it is probably IMO the best punching bait out there. That is factory in size, appendages, action, and most importantly durability between beating it up through mats with that heavy weight and also can catch multiple fish on one single bait.
This is the best texas rig video ever
I'll use rage craw delta red crayfish. I'll use a 3/0 ewg superline offset hook with 1/16 weight with trophy bass. I let it fall 3 to 4 seconds. Moderate retrieve 3 to 5 seconds slightly raise rod tip then lower rod. Reeling line Moderate tempo the whole time even with raising and lowering rod tip. I put trophy bass on. No luck on this rig yet but will keep trying a bit if no luck then I'll put this rig away or stop using it. The reason I stopped using this I never got bites on it. I fish this rig well even subsurface in the summer and nothing yet.
My friend once told me to put the hook in the plastic only as far down as the distance from the eye to the first bend.
I always peg the weight if I don't want it pegged I just slide the stop up the line saves time retieing and helps keep the weight from sliding too far up the line when casting I have a tendency to throat hook a lot of fish on Texas rigs seems like if they're big enough they engulf it before you get the chance to set the hook any tips to help prevent or reduce that
Let's gooo! Master class time
I can’t help it, I cross their eyes every time!😀
Tyler.. can you tell me what the difference between the Trokar 135 and 130 is and if it really makes a difference plz??
The hardest time I have with punching is when the lure gets hung up in some thick vegetation down at the bottom. It feels a lot like a potential bite, it's very hard to not set the hook constantly... I just got to your pumping section and perhaps I'm thinking of punching wrong? I have been punching 4-5 feet into mat, and then trying to work it through the mat on the bottom back to the edge, I guess that isn't the way to go about doing it, since of course that makes it more likely to gather stuff on the lure/line.
I have the strike king rage bug not the misslebaits d bomb do you think those are similar enough 🤔
Try tequila sunrise zoom worms they are the absolute best
That Berkley swimbait works great on a hover rig , you can work it like a jerkbait
The one thing that helps me get bites is using trophy bass by procure. 😀
As an ohio native the big worm always gets em👍🏻
Try the Geecrack Bao Bob EX.. in the bug bomb color
Looks like you are parked just north of the Cheshire bridge on Alum. Very thorough overview of the Texas rig. Do you consider heavy salted baits like the cover scat in this category just without the lead weight or are they in a different category.
Different category that's titled poopbaits
I think a good video idea/ challenge would be to take a subscribers tackel bag and see if what they have in it you could catch a fish/ win a tournament no cheating.and if you catch a fish they get a hat or bait or something 😅
Not sure who Mikey Balls is but Bub Tosh the Master of Punching!
What bait is that in the cover of the video the orange swim bait
Hey tyler you should include straw hats in your finn store ,they are good for those sunny hot days of fishing
Yes I think I will do that
Does he ever talk about the Texas rig swimbait?
What's your view on when to peg the weight and when to go without a peg?
Talked about that in the video. I choose not to peg unless I need to
Ty, any idea when small/medium gloves will be available again? 🤔
Should be 2 weeks
@@BassFishingHQ Much appreciated sir. I’ll keep an eye out. 🫡
Although I use carolina rig setup
I'm getting into fishing what ate the weights called
Tyler, how are your USA made shirts so competitively priced with clothing manufactured overseas? Not looking for business secrets, but I'm curious how you can offer prices like this.
I didn’t want to price them out of the market so I am taking a cut on the margin
Brush hog’s honorable mention.
Amen to that
Have you done a video on turd baits?
Man I was hoping u wouldn't say the baits I use 😂😂
Caught my PB with half of a senko texas rigged. If it work it works 🤷♂️
What happens when you can not afford those very long rods .
You didn't even mention the best weight for T rigging in 8 for or less with 7 mph or less wind. NO WEIGHT
There are a lot of brands of Rods At that size at a very low price
Idk why everyone calls a green pumpkin a natural color lol its a more universal color that can be fished from slightly stained water to dirty water. Watermelon seed or with red is a more natural color then junebug or black blue for muddy dirty water. To me weight depends on depth or how thick the cover is. I'll never fish more than a 1/4 oz in shallow water unless there's thick vegetation where I'm fishing and generally I fish 1/8th to 3/16th the most. 3/8 to 1/2 oz for deep water (more open) 1/2oz to 1 1/2oz for thick cover flipping and punching. The bait imo is also on clarity of the water I'm fishing. I very rarely use a beaver bait because it doesn't move much water and I need that water displacement due to fishing dirty to muddy waters (similar to Florida) all the time.
