Weightless Texas

To begin with, I always throw them into the water. T-rigged works best for me, but you will get many other opinions. I love opinions. They are never wrong.

T-rigged weightless I have found the most success.

Texas rigged with a bullet weight, slow crawl or hop and stop.

T rigged and draging seems to work best for me

I dont worm fish much but when I do its rage rigged anaconda slowly dragged or hopped just off the bottom

Texas with a 1/16th weight or a 1/8th max. or a weightless wacky worm, but only downside to wacky worm is you can lose trhe worms easly..

My avatar. Not because it is my favorite, it's because it is the fish's favorite. I just give them what they want.

My set up is:

Texas Rig

light weight ie 1/16 to 1/4

12# yo zuri

MH Daiwa Procyon, 7' rod, shimano citica

I would upgrade my rod and reel if money was no option....maybe a nice dobyns rod and an abu premier??

Texas and wacky

Wacky... then Texas

Overall I like a split shot presentation, or when fishing cover I like a parasite weight pegged to my worm.

Dropshot, wacky, and shakey head. If I am throwing a worm (allthough a t-rigged creature bait is a go-to tech. for me) on a traditional t-rig, or a c-rig, it's because just about everything else I do is not working.

Like many others, t-rig is great. But give the split shot rig a try. Use a baby rage craw or a small worm with a curly tail.

the split shot rig is just a down sized version of the carolina rig right? I have heard people call the drop shot the split shot rig as well as a split shot about 18" up the line from a plastic.

I have recently come to really like the carolina rig. I love how I can feel the bottom with flouro and a 3/8 tungsten bullet. With something to peg the weight you can switch from a c-rig to a t-rig in a second so it is very versatile.

The shakey head is probably my favorite "new" technique. I had never used it but it has been very good to me this season and I am surprised at the quality of fish it produces for being a "finesse" technique.

I dont use senkos so I dont use wacky rigs much except for on a drop shot and I dont DS much because I seem to catch all the dinks in the area where a C-rig would catch big fish.

I like to throw a 10" ribbon tail worm weightless but I dont have the patience so I find myself using a small bullet weight to speed things up a bit.

weightless senko with either a 2-3/0 hook fished like a jerk bait over cover :mad10:

Shakey is by far my favorite way. It's definitly become my go to confidence bait on my lake. When I'm on some other lakes then I go with a t-rig, I can cover more water faster with it and more types of cover than I can with the shakey.
