Texas Rig Tricks To Catch More Bass! (BEGINNER And ADVANCED)
Many anglers fail to understand how adaptable the Texas Rig really is. They may give it a few minutes without a bite and move on, never realizing what could have been with some minor changes. Today we're covering the different types of baits we use to fine tune the bite in different situations, ways that we modify the rig, and key baits that out fish all the others when things get tough.
The Texas Rig needs to be a staple in your bass fishing arsenal. From tiny bfs baits to heavy cover flipping, this rig will load the boat every month of the year if you understand how to leverage its fish catching ability. Pay close attention to Matt's favorite baits from each category as he goes in-depth about using this technique.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits shown in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors, as well as the gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
