The basic things that you need for making a Texas Rig.
- You need a worm weight or a bullet shaped weight with a hole in the middle so that the line can go through center of the weight.
- You need a worm hook, note; there are various styles of these that can be used one style is the offset hook.
- A plastic worm of your choosing, note; this worm should fit the size and the style of the weight and the hook that are to be used.
- Of course, you’ll need the right fishing line of test strength for the type of fishing that you intend to do.
Now after you have these things, you will be able to make your Texas rig on a plastic worm.
How to string the Texas rig after you have all the materials.
- String the bullet shaped weight through the line so you have the bullet or the narrow end facing away from the worm head, this weight will move freely on the line itself.
- Tie your hook on the end of the fishing line.
- Feed the hook through the head of the plastic worm and position it so it comes out to about a quarter of an inch from the head of the worm.
- Now feed the hook all the way through the worm until you hit the eye of the hook.
- At this point you will turn the hook, so it faces the worm.
- Allow for some slack in the worm, about a quarter of an inch or so you’ll know because you will have a buckle in the worm toward the eye of the hook.
- At this point, you would hook in the plastic worm with the hooks end. This will make it weedless as the hook is facing the worm and not away from the worm
