Hi so this is gonna be a story most of you probably heard already. But I am recently getting back into fishing and I was curious which type of rigs I should be fishing. Currently I have been using texas/wacky rigs (weighted and weightless) with stick baits and lizard baits. So far I have had quite a bit of luck pulling the smaller bass' out of the 6-10ft range in the river. I was curious how I could effectively get some texas rigs down to the more deeper areas in the water, like the 15-25ft range. Any advice would be helpful, Im mainly looking for which sinkers and stuff to use.. Thanks!

Have you tried a Carolina rig yet? Also, a drop shot. These rigs work great for fishing on the bottom. If you are trying to target a specific depth not necessarily on the bottom, try diving crankbaits like the DT series (DT= Dives to) or a lipless crankbait such as a Rat-L Trap. Swim jigs or spoons can also be effective. As far as Texas rig, more weight, let it fall. You can count it down. Sometimes I'll use a weight(split shot or something) about 2ft up from the rig to get a little more fall and a different look.
