Texas Rig Tips and Simple Tricks To Catch More Fish!

- Learn the basics or try our advanced methods to get better hookup ratio, a better presentation, and fine tune your patterns, its all in this jam-packed video. The Texas Rig is the most universal rig in bass fishing so of course there are tricks to make it more effective! Whether you're fishing a drop shot, punching heavy cover, or somewhere in the middle, these tips will help you catch more bass.
Matt uses a very simplified method of Texas rigging. He goes out of his way to stick with a wide gap hook for nearly all applications, only venturing between standard wire and superline (2x strong) wire. This allows his presentations to remain very consistent and saves a lot of baits.
Tim prefers a more adaptive method, favoring different hook styles for different baits and presentations. The advantages are an increased hookup ratio and more fine-tuned method. Both bass fishing styles have merit so be sure to listen closely and decide which method will benefit you the most.

Thanks guys, went out to the lake this morning and nailed my PB 5.12 on a Texas rig senko Boom!
God is good
That’s a decent fish! My pb is a 5.5 trout, or maybe the 5.? Catfish I got a couple of days ago while bass fishing
I know this video is 6 years old but it’s the best I have found to describe Texas rigging. Awesome to go back and watch your old videos
No one else gives better informational content than you guys. My favorite channel to watch. 🤙🏻
Kelly Mason so true
the Texas rig is such a great technique primarily because its simple, but vids like these are incredibly useful for people that have crossed over from a rookie to an amateur
True.
“GAME CHANGER” Y’all gave me a new perspective on Texas rigs. When it’s something you’ve done since your childhood and you realize few simple tips change everything. Thanks
The best two guys on fishing tutorials hands down. Thanks for all the videos!!! You guys are awesome!!!
It's been a blessing to find this channel. It's by far has made me more versital angler. I love that you guys always say try it all. Not just this how I fish it and you should too. You explain in depth and put the info out on the table and say try it all find what works for ppl like me. Guys keep the videos coming. Thanks for being genuine and humble teachers to spread y'alls knowledge and experiences to the world.
Wow just seeing this out of the box czcams.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
Yes! Texas rig is what I was first taught to use. I was just using split shot a few years back, and man did I Always get hung up! Bobber stops are definitely the way to go!! Great info as always guys!!
You guys are the best! I'm a life long fisherman, but the last two years it's become my passion. I watch all your vids, I've changed my techniques from the ground up. Can't wait to see Matt in a boat again when he's ready! Thanks for your great work!
Great video guys. I love how you supply tons of unbiased information without forcing your opinions on your viewers and encourage us to try everything for ourselves.
There is no comparison, TB is the most informative, no BS channel in existence. Thank you guys and please never stop
Texas Rigging was a game changer when my friend showed it to me. It took me from not understanding how to fish and always pulling weeds to becoming obsessed! Thanks guys, great video! Gotta get me some straight shanks now.
You guys have really progressed bass fishing to a whole new professional vlog level is there a hall of fame
Caught a 5-14 after flipping + punching + some wacky stuff for a few 2+ 3s cause I remember to slow down and focus on a big fish area I had a gut feeling, Matt will know what I'm talking about lol , lots of thanks to your content + awesome information as always!:)
In all honestly if I watched only this channel for bass fishing i would be just fine. You guys are TRUELY GREAT MAN!!!!
The best by far CZcams channel out there. You guys are the most informative on the internet about fishing.
most informative fishing channel on CZcams. love watching your guy's videos and learning from them and catching fish with tips and tricks I've learned from you guys. keep it up. thanks as always tight lines brother
One of the most versatile and variable rigs out there. Good info as always, that flori/bama color os SICK!!
Texas Rig - First thing I learned to throw! Great job guys. Always enjoy your videos!
Love the video guys! I noticed that when I'm throwing buzz toads, having a straight shanked hook really helps the hook up ratio. I smashed 'em last summer on that bait and I plan on repeating it this year.
Thanks guys for another great video. Super informative! You have the best bass fishing videos on CZcams!
You answered my questions well just by explaing the differences in hooks and pegging. Thanks.
I really enjoy watching these two. Almost like we are hanging out and you guys are sharing useful info.
Extremely high quality information,as always! Keep up the great work!
Great vid. Never really knew the benefits of straight shanking, now I'm definitely gonna start using it.
Thank you two for the hard work and dedication to fishing education. Comment on the Texas rig Matt... For you, you can have the best of both worlds by using a set of pliers and slightly angling the point out for better hook sets on the 4/0 EWG Off Set. I have noticed some of the straight shank brands have the point angled in just a skoash. So the area behind the barb makes contact before the point. I still use pliers to angle the point out to make sure the point is the first contact...Thanks again!
I needed that video. I can not thank you guys enough. You guys are awesome.much appreciated
Thanks for that guys was searching for use on Perch in the UK lot more technical info and explanations than I found on UK channels, not surprising tho you have been doing this a lot longer than we have. Very informative.
Great video guys, really enjoyed it and the fact that you talked about multiple styles of Texas rigs
I agree with both you guys on the hooks. For a long time I used ewg for all my Texas rigging. As of lately I've been using off set shank round bend hooks for thinner baits and straight shanks for punching. But you can most definitely use an ewg for all applications. It may not always be best. But it will always work.
Once again. Thanks for all the great info you guys put out! I learn something new or a different option every video
Tim/Matt, it is odd to see how so many "newer" rigging ideas have sort of pushed the emphasis away from the old standard Texas Rigged worms/creature baits with a bullet shaped nose weight. One of the pro bass anglers recently said he has stuck with it, often picks up fish working down a long bank using a T-rigged worm . . . where the boats in front of him missed them with other presentations. It is sort of one of the fool-proof staples of bass fishing. I learned a few new things from your video!!! Thanks! Brad
Great video, great info . What more could you ask for. Best CZcams channel out there.
Best channel on youtube, hands down
I fish a lot of clearer grass lakes in Northern Indiana and I prefer very light, unpegged bullet weights so my bait gets that slow drift/swim over the tops of the grasses. Play around with your weight size AND the resistance your bait creates in the water. Example, the resistance of a trick worm on the fall versus a brush hog. Also, not a Texas rig but split shot weights have fallen out of favor for some reason but I’m telling you guys, if you fish rocks, rip rap etc, and get hung up with your Texas rigged bullet weights you need to use light split shots. Worlds better for rocky bottoms. Tight lines guys! Another great video from Tacticalbassin!
TacticalBassin Your Instructional Vids are the best thanks Matt!!!
The Trokar Big Nasty worm hook is an amazing punch hook. That's all I use on the Delta now. I'm able to get in and out smoother and have had no issues with hook ups. I landed a 12 on that hook last fall in NASTY grass and it held up.
Great video, keep it up. I hope to book a trip on Clear Lake with you this year.
Love the content as always guys! Thanks for sharing and keep posting! Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers!!!
Like the videos. You guys help me out alot. When I'm not sure of what to do and what to use.
Literally just suggested this video last video! Awesome guys
Would like to see a chatterbait video in depth on different brands, rods/reels, and line choices! Love your video content you guys are hands down the best informative bass fishing channel on CZcams!
I never thought about the advantages of not pegging my texas rigs for finesse fishing. Thanks for a new perspective on the oldest technique in the book.
My favorite instructional fishing channel.
Simply put......... Thank you for this post!
Your videos are great I appreciate two different approaches gives you great ideas on the water thank you and keep up the great work
Adding a bead between the sinker and hook can give a little sound which helps in certain situations. Love the video's keep em coming..
also protects your knot
Wow I like the straight shank hook idea. That will definitely be great for an ultralight fishing rig.
Great information guys, keep being the best on CZcams.
The right method is the one that catches fishes! It's good you guys are going over the technical aspect of each hooks and method. This helps people make better decision on buying the right hook.
People should also realize that to catch fish its not always what you want and comfortable, but what the fish wants. A little change in presentation will land bigger and more fish in the boat!
Great stuff guys so much more to a Texas rig then just rig it up and go 👍👌
Thank You for replying I appreciate that, I'm lookin forward to the video or review of this new hook that could change our hook up ratio
Great info guys, LOVE all y'alls videos
Luv the breakdown guys! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the awesome tips guys, cant wait to try these out
Sick video guys. I could listen to t-rig talk forever.
Awesome tips guys. Great video 👍👏👏👏
Love to Texas rigs always use EWG now I might try straight shank
Just a great informative video thank you guys... Love your channel
Thanks for the awesome videos guys!
Great info men totally awesome keep making awesome very detailed videos like this 👌 thanks guys
I do like Tim's idea on straight shank hooks I'm going to try it
Another awesome video!!! I’ve always used ewg gamakatsu hooks and bobber stoppers to peg my weights and of course tungsten weights cause I can’t find a single reason to use lead weights except for price but fishing isn’t a cheap hobby!!
Looking forward to seeing the difference in hook ups with that straight hook angled upwards. I think I've been missing hits by using the wrong hook for the worm I throw. Thanks for the tip!
That cleared up a lot of information for me. Thanks!
Yes! I've been waiting for this. Love this.
Great Vid, I also actually like the Owner Offset Wide Gap Worm hook for big worms and to get away from some of that hook hanging below the bait.
Great subject on much I didn't know about.
Awesome video! I love this channel!
YES. I’ve been asking for this for a long time 😂
again another awesome video!! thanks guys!!
Man those Berkley Havoc Pit Boss' are my #1 go to ! Awesome lures.
Rocky Top Splash agreed
Hey guys! Congrats on getting to the 100K subscriber mark. I'm sure you'll hit 200K in no time!! Great video, not just this one but all of them. For me I really appreciate your gear recommendations and when I check out the links to tackle warehouse, my only feedback is that you guys should include, for example with rods, the length, power and action in the description b/c on tackle warehouse you have to choose your specific rod. Otherwise I have to double back to the video and try and find where it was mentioned. Let me know if you think that makes sense! Cheers!!
Another great vid guys! yall need to make a tour of East Texas Lakes sometime. We got some mondos!!
Great vid as usual. Planning on hitting Lake Del Valle here shortly so my youngest son can get his first catch. Making sure he won't be spending all his time sanged is important.
Excellent presentation and content!
I like Tim's style. I mostly fish in rocky areas and EWGs will hinder the performance of smaller baits. Can't get a bite with a 4" Senko on a 2/0, but when I switched to baits that lessen the gap, immediate bites from all kinds of species. I'm gonna try them on a straight shank, along with those Roboworms. I really want to catch a brown trout on casting gear. I caught a small common on a baby D-Bomb. That was nuts. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I really love your videos. Would love to see you collab with Nick from IF.
Good luck and tight lines fellas,
-Will
Another great video guys !!!
Always used the EWG myself but I wanna try the straight shank flipping hooks. Y’all are awesome awesome awesome. Thanks guys. Keep the great info coming
If you like flipping i think you would like the straight shank flipping hook. Seems like i have had better hook up ratio since ive been using them. I never use the EWG for flipping anymore. Try them and see what you think. Go catch a bunch this spring!
I plan on it. Already been out a few times. Gonna get some of those hooks and try them. Thanks bud and good luck on the water
Thanks guys--appreciate the video--great info
Very useful information my friends!
Hey guys been a long time subscriber and ❤️ all your hard work, we all appreciate the amount of great content. I find myself doing a lot of nighttime fishing because of my work schedule, any thoughts on this this regarding the transition, swimbaits or Texas rigs ect?
Maybe there’s enough material regarding nightime bassin to make a vid, or briefly touch on it in the future with your topics while your making more awesome stuff. I’m sure many others would benefit from any consideration on it.
Keep up the good work💯✌️
Could you please do a in-depth dock fishing video that would be great if you could
The Top Water King !
Nicely Done ~ Enjoyed that one.
Great info!! Thank you!!
I'm with Matt always use a ewg nothing else!!Fish heavy grass here in northern az Cheers!! :))
I fish the Delta and punch a lot. I switched to the Trokar big nasty off set worm hook over a straight shank. That wire is extremely stout and I've not had an issue with it.
I landed a 10 & 12 on that hook in some NASTY mats.
Worth a shot.
Great video.
yall have inspired me to try and catch some bass, ive never targeted them before and ive been out everyday for almost two weeks and i cant get a bite , ive tried the frog some chatter bait some swim baits a texas rig with a craw i just cant seem to get a fish . i know there are fish where im at ive heard about people catching um , im in washington state btw any pointers for the northwest , cause im about to go back to salmon trout and steelhead .
WEARING SHORTS.........Just had 18" of snow melt.......lmao!!! Keep up the excellent content!!!
Thanks. Love the office 🌱
You guys should do an in depth chatterbait video. Lot of discussion about glass vs graphite rods and braid vs fluoro with chatterbaits. Would love to hear your guy's opinions!
My hookup ratio throwing a texas rig is terrible I just bought a bunch of G-finesse straight shank hooks and hybrid worm hooks hopefully your tips help me out this year!
This is great, as usual! Quick question: when I look at your setups, I often see PowerPro MaxCuatro on the ideal and PowerPro braid on the budget. Why the difference? Is it just price? What's better about the MaxCuatro? Thanks again!
Awesome vid!
Yes! Texas rig, my favorite
Good information !
Great video in AZ guys. Very informative. Where in AZ was the video shot? I’m heading out there soon and wanna hit some good lakes/rivers etc. thanks and keep the techniques coming. Look forward to watching more vids
Awesome vid as always. When you flip/punch, as the bait is about to hit the water, do you thumb the spool to prevent backlash? When I thumb the spool at that time, it prevents the bait from dropping straight down.
great stuff!
