Ok so im new to fishing, but very interested. I've been using a texas rig with soft plastics but its doesnt seem to stay upright in the water. Is the hook point supposed to stay facing upwards in the water? I also need tips on how to hook soft plastic fishbait. They also turn over on me under water.

There could be a hundred pages written, but I have always been a visual kind of guy, here is a link to Glenn's t-rig video

 

Good Luck

good vid!

I think i know what you are saying. You can always Texas rig a shakey head with your plastics, like walleye guys do to plastics on jigs. It's not as clean as a hook meant fir t rig but it'll help your t rigged plastics fall and land upright.
