Texas Rig
|
The Texas Rig is one of the most popular rigs in bass fishing. It consists of a weight (flipping or worm style) slid onto your line, which is then tied to a hook (flipping, offset, or EWG style). A soft plastic bait (typically a creature or craw) is then rigged weedlessly on the hook to allow the bait to be fished in heavy cover without fouling in weeds or snagging on brush/rock. The weight of a Texas Rig can be free-sliding on the line, or pegged in place with a Weight Peg. Free weights allow the weight to separate from the bait when the rig is lifted and dropped, creating the additional action of the bait chasing the weight back to the bottom. Pegged weights are superior in brush and heavy cover, as it keeps the weight and bait as a single package that slips through cover without fouling or snagging as easily. The Texas Rig is most often fished around shallow cover, such as a brush piles, dock posts, and laydown trees; flipped and pitched along grass edges, grass/weed/lilypad holes and pockets; and punched through matted vegetation.

Harmony Tackle for the Texas Rig
Tungsten Flipping Weights w/ Weight Pegs [Select Size, Qty]
$10.99 - $16.99
- Tungsten is nearly twice as dense as lead, which means your weight is now about 50% smaller in size for the same weight as a lead sinker. This more compact size creates a more weedless/snagless profile, making it easier than ever to fish heavy cover like grass, weeds, rocks, laydowns, docks, and more.
- The increased density offered by tungsten over lead provides greater sensitivity, as the weight transmits more vibration up your line, allowing you to feel the bottom like never before.
- Harmony's Tungsten Worm Weights feature a smooth, polished inner bore - eliminating line fray. The cupped rear design allows your hook eye to sit recessed into the back of the weight, creating a more streamlined, weedless profile. Harmony's signature black oxide matte coating doesn't chip like other brand's painted weights. Each weight is laser engraved to show the weight size for easy identification.
- Includes one set of ten (10) Weight Pegs.
