Tyler in the thumbnail you showed a weight that is Texas rigged but pegged. I never fully understood pegging a weight, why not just use a weighted jig head instead of pegging the weight. Aren’t they pretty much the same. A weighted jig head or a pegged weight? By the way just love all your contend some of my fav fishing instruction comes from you. Great job!
I deliberately do not peg my weight. I found that using a very small (3/16 Oz sometimes smaller) tungsten bullet weight with no peg, creates the illusion that my bait is chasing a smaller bait. If moved correctly it looks exactly like your bait is chasing something because your tungsten will stay an inch or 2 up the line. I’ve found fish can’t stand it.
i keep multiple different weights of texas rigs on my boat. mainly 1/8 to a 1/4 with them pegged and unpegged. i do have one with an ounce in the rod locker. mostly tungsten but i do have lead as a backup if i run out of the tungsten.
No weight has a lot slower fall rate and can flutter. The lures look a lot more natural like this, for something dead or injured floating down. I’ve gotten some good bites with weight, but it’s specifically for targeting fish on or near the bottom, and imitating a fleeing craw or bug on the bottom. Tight lines!
@@BassFishingHQ do you find buckeye to be better? I hate alum and always skip club events there! don't like small-mouth fishing either so there is that!! hopefully indian gets somewhat muddy again! need to come fish rocky with us sometime, seen it take 20 lbs to win many times there.
Dude. Been wanting tungsten weights. Led can be poured kind of janky, and the size to weight ratio isn’t very good. Just ordered some. Thank you Tyler!
