Texas rig to me means a sliding bullet weight weedless hooked soft plastics.

My standard T-rig uses a straight round bend worm hook like Owner #5103/ 3/0-5/0 depending on worm body diameter/length, fished on Jig/worm bait casting with 10- 16 lb FC line, no braid.

Favorite worms;

Uptom's Customs, Berkley Power (night) for T-rigs.

I like to fish big worm T-rigged; Uptom's 9" & 13" straight or Dragon tails, in Black grape/ blue neon, purple thunder and Aaron's tragic.

Black 7 1/2" and 10" Power worms, ribbon tails at night.

I like Zoom Trick and Finesse worms best

for TX rigging. I've caught some beasts

in the 5-6 pound range with TX rigged senko

style baits, tho.

 

Find GP/Chartr. tail, black, junebug as most

effective of the last I've fished TX. I use wacky

so much more.

I have 3 that cover most situations for me....5" Roboworm with a very light weight on light line for when it's tough, a trick worm 75% of the time, and when I'm hunting a big girl I'll throw a magnum 'ol monster.

I'm a bit surprised at all the trick worms mentioned.  I'll have to revisit them on a trig.  I never had much luck/confidence there.  I pretty much only rig them weightless anymore. 

I use Manns the most but any other worm will work just as well. Another worm that I have the utmost confidence in is the Mister Twister Phenom chartreuse  / black core . 

6" straight tail in purple, green or black usually.

Large worms get t-rigged, "trick" worms are fished on jigheads in my game plan.

 

I only keep a few colors these days; watermelon, junebug, red shad and PB&J. If I can't get it on with those colors it's time to execute plan B.

Zoom U Tail in Junebug, hard to beat around these parts.

During the spring and summer months and into the early fall I throw Powerbait 10'' Plum when the sun is out. During the early morning or evening, or cloudy day I like to throw Junebug. Gotta let the fish tell you what they want of course, but that's where I start. Plum is my favorite though

I've caught a ton of Florida Largemouth on a Culprit Black Shad ribbon tail Texas rigged.

Rage Cut R and Anaconda,Just really started using them late in the year and caught alot of fish on them.Gonna use them more this coming year.

Love those Cut R's..The ability to make the tail rise or fall depending on how you rig it...If you haven't already just play with em, you'll see what I mean.
