Texas Rig

How to Rig

Slip the bullet sinker on to the line, nose (pointed end) first. Follow this with your choice of bead.  I prefer glass because it makes a louder noise when the weight hits it. You don't need to add the bead but it serves two purposes if you do. Firstly, when the worm weight hits the bead it makes a clicking sound which attracts fish. Secondly, it keeps the knot from getting nicked adding to the life of the rig. The bead is especially important in heavy brush or when 'rippin' the jig. The last step is just a matter of tying off the hook and adding your favorite plastic bait and that's it. The hook point is just below the surface of the plastic worm making it virtually weedless. If it is easier a keeper hook can be used but the bait tends to rip away from the keeper when fishing heavy cover.
