Catching Bass on a Texas Rig worm is easy if you follow this simple How To. Realistic bass fishing class is now in session and this is Texas Rigs 101. With a weight and a worm hook, you can fish many different styles of worms. I catch bass on a ribbon tail worm, as well as a curly tail and finesse worm. The Texas Rig works great for many styles of worms, and it catches bass. Different colors, different shapas, different lengths can all be fished on a texas rig. I hope these easy tips can help you catch more bass!

I never went bass fishing before, but I've been subbed to your channel for a while. I bought myself a cheap little baitcaster and went out to a pond this morning and caught my first ever large mouth (17"!) using a Texas rig after learning how by watching your channel. So I just wanted to say thanks and I love your channel!

I finally realized why I love these videos so much- you get as excited as the 99.9% of all of us out there to get a fish, and flat-out stoked when you find something as big as a three pounder. You can only watch so many dudes with their $50k boats, landing monsters before you lose sight of what made us love pounding the banks as kids. That tick-tick-tick on the end of the line is all that matters.

1:25 bro you explained it perfectly for a new beginner like me. I always wondered why the point of the hook was below the plastic. But that simple demonstration showed me why! I know, it’s embarrassing for me to even say that....but I have no shame in saying I’m brand new to all of this and I’m willing to learn as much as I can! Thank you!

@strange ghost I was having the same issue with stick baits- killing them whacky rigged, but needed something weedless. Finally hit on using baby bass colors (green on top, white on the bottom, with black flakes- Yum are cheap and have a good one). Bring a Sharpie and color the tails black. You will be shocked at how realistic they look, and the difference in catches is night and day.

hey man, this was probably the best how-to video or texas rigging plastic worms. I have honed in my crankbait game, but fishing from the bank at the lake every weekend, I've lost more than I can remember to snags. I know it's not that difficult but, I've watched other channels all summer thinking I just needed this type of worm, or this brand of creature only to fail miserably every time I tried them. I feel more confident about the baiting of the hook in 15 min than the last 4 months of watching other videos combined. honestly. And I agree with the others, your excitement is great and your voice is very calming. I can't wait to try out what I've learned today. Thanks for your help!

Great advice! I moved over to straight shank for plastic worms as I was constantly missing out on hook ups with a EWG. The hooks I use dont even have an offset (as the hook goes in at an angle its already skin hooked) and i buy 3/8 screw in bullet weights (the screw ins are amazing because the plastic cant be pulled down over the hook and it keeps the plastic exactly where you want it). Deadly.

I grew up fresh water fishing and Largmouth bass are always fun to catch. I honestly have used the Texas rig as my rig of choice as long as I have fished and will probably only ever use that rig. The Texas rig is probably the easiest and most effective rig in my eyes for all levels of fisherman. Like you were describing in the video the Texas rig is unique because of its ability to let you fish areas that with most lures you would not be able too, and if you love bass fishing than you know the more coverage for the bass to hide and keep shade than the bigger the fish. I love to fish spinners (strike king is probably the only brand in spinners i use)but those areas were you can get snagged you will loose a fortune in tackle, making the Texas rig the ideal approach. I have caught 10 to 12 pound Largmouth on a Texas rig in the middle of thick Lilly pads. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming man FISH ON!!!

Now I do a combination of jigging and draggin and it's very affective and its heart pounding when you get a solid THUMP!
