The best thing to take from this video is doing what works for you. Everyone fishes different. People think I'm crazy because my frogging stick is a 7'11 Mag heavy glass crankbait rod with an 8:1 revo on it. It works fabulous. Casts a frog a mile, stays loaded up because the glass, and it's an absolute meat stick below the second eyelet. You can swing hard and flip 8lbers all day without worrying.
Texas rigging has come a long way in the last 50 years. I started fishing Lake Sam Rayburn in east Texas in the mid-1960s. The line choices we had were mono weight and color. The reel of choice for most fishermen at that time was the Ambassadeur 5000. Ball bearings in a reel were a dream for most of us. We used the heaviest premium line readily available - 20# mono on a 5'6" casting rod. Bait choice was primarily a plastic worm in 6-8". We used this rig in 2' to 40' depths. Choosing a rod, reel & line was much easier back then & more of us middle class fisherman raising families could fish with our buddies with funds left over for teaching our youngsters to fish. Both of my daughters were Texas rig fishing by the time they started school (using a spin-cast reel). It saddens me greatly today to see these very expensive Bass Rigs with one or two men in them. You guys who are spending an exorbitant amount of money for YOUR toys & leaving your wife and kid sat home are missing one of the greatest blessings Go has for you.
Love the video. My personal preference for the Texas rigs takes out one category with no true finesse spinning gear but three different baitcasters. 1 with 10-15 lbs fcarbon with a 3/16 bullet weight-no peg on a m/h rod; 20-30 lbs braid with a 1/4 or 3/8 bullet weight-sometimes pegged sometimes not pegged on a m/h rod; and a pegged 1/2-1 weight on 50 lbs braid on a h rod for my heavy stuff.
I'm glad you mentioned Fireline, I've always liked it and rarely see anyone else using it. It works great down here in the south where the water is usually not as clear (or clear at all), it doesn't slip on the spool or get wind knots like braids seem to, it casts smooth, and I can't ever remember ever breaking a fish off using it. 20 to 30 lb is as heavy as I use for Texas rigging plastics even in fairly rough cover. I also keep it on a dedicated Spook/buzzbait rod. Disclaimer - I am not paid by Berkley Fireline although I am open to the idea...
I mostly fish Toledo Bend and if you find a rock somebody put it there. Wood and grasses are the covers you deal with. Braid seems to be the way to go here. I do use a copolymer leader on a carolina rig but that is about all. Thanks Glenn, keep-em coming and I'll keep watching.
Great tips!! My go to line for casting gear is usually 14# mono or Co-poly. Extreme situations I'll go heavier line. I don't care for braid or fluoro on casting gear, cuz if you backlash it screws up the line, I can't afford new braid or fluoro every time you trash your line & that could be once a trip out fishin. For spinning gear, I use 10-15# braid main line & 8# fluoro leader, also 8-10# mono or co-poly all main line, depending on the situation...
My 2 go to rods are 7ft. One heavy and one MH. I rig them both with Firewire 12lb and 30lb. I run the 12 through a Kast King Speed Demon for skipping under docks and a Abu Revo SX on the 30 for heavy cover. My finesse game sucks so thanks for the pointers!
Top video for the novice to the pro's, there is all ways something to learn no matter how good anglers are, I use softbaits that are for big and small mouth bass in Ireland and I have had parch pike trout and sea fish using them,keep up the videos, tight lines ,
Guess I'm old school ....or maybe just old! Still like my mono for my Texas rigs. Just me but it has worked for a long time for me. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Glenn: Different strokes for different folks... I've never owned a bait-caster. All my bass fishing is on ML, M, and MH spinning rods thus far. That said, I have enjoyed trouble-free cast-ability using 15 lb Invisibraid on size 3000 spinning reels and tying varying strengths of fluoro leader to suit different situations. 15 lbs can literally pull my 10ft kayak to reach a snag or get a caught fish out of the heaviest weeds. But I have 50 lb braid on a size 4000 too.
I mainly use fluorocarbon test line on my rods since it doesn’t stretch but with these new tips and techniques with different lines I’ll be switching my lines up maybe a different line on each rod and try the techniques for them.
I like a 10# mono for finesse and 30# braid for the rest. I fish from the bank a lot so I keep it simple. I don't like flouro because I can't watch my line when I go weightless. Just my $0.02. Lol. Liked the video and would be great way to start out. Keep em coming!
Great tips glenn. Ive also noticed that fluorocarbon helps me detect bites when I'm just pitching a standard texas rig and its windy because it's more dense. Braid gets blown around too easily in wind and it throws too much slack in the line.
Thanks for the info. Picking line is often the most difficult part for me (after choosing the Lure). Can't afford a rod/reel rigged up with every option like some. Plus they wouldn't all fit on the kayak.
I only have one med hvy rod, and have been using 50# braid for flipping moderate to heavy cover. I'll add a 12# fluoro/mono leader when flipping to sparse cover or gin clear water. Good stuff - thanks!
Good video Glenn,I guess I’ve been using too light of a setup for punching.I’ve been using a med/hvy rod with 65# braid.I noticed I have been missing some hook sets, thinking that my be the reason. l’ll have to pick up a heavier rod.Spend the Money......
I use a Mann's 12 inch worm Texas rigged. I can't believe how fast you can work this worm and still catch fish. I fish it around giant boulders in deep water. This worm stands up straight up off the bottom with a 1/2 once bullet sinker.
Thanks for the tips Glenn. Texas Rig is the only thing I’ve used thus far as a beginner bass fisherman. I’ll stick with the standard Texas rig for the time being but eventually I’ll give some of the other rigging a try. I forgot I have tried the wacky rig and had success (caught first bass on an artificial using the wacky rig). Thanks again!
I like straight floro for all my T rigs. The finesse I'll use 6lb, then up to 20lb for the rest. And braid of course for the punchin. Great video as always!
Really appreciate the information especially on the finesse set up. I don't use finesse much but been trying to get into it more. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. 🎣
Hey, Finesse(light wire 1/0 6 lb line), texas rigged ( 7' Md Hvy Rod with Fast tip 30 lb braid), flipping( 7'4"- 7'6" Hvy rod 50 lb braid 3/0 hook), and punching(7'11" 3/0-4/0 hook 65 lb braid 3/4- 1.5oz weight) Great set-ups if they are you're confidence spot guys!
Thanks Glenn for the tips. I use a 6 ft med heavy bait casting G Loomis with 20 lb mono for my worm rod and it works pretty good for me in a lot of situations. I also have a big flipping rod with 50 lb braid that I use too.
Thanks for the info. All information is helpful no matter how and were you fish. You can take various bits of the information you offer and incorporate them both to fit any situation, you just need to be open minded an think out of the box a little.
Great info! I'm just starting out in fresh water so all the info possible is wonderful! I mainly saltwater fish so I love braid! Thanks again for the info look forward to testing out the tips!
Great content. going to try some fireline.. also power line and power rod for flipping. Very weak in punching but need to practice. A lot of weeds on Seminole and Eufaula. Will let you know. how I do this week. mainly frogging but texas rig always tied on.
Good run down, Glenn. I'm find myself reverting back to the days of old...and using monofilament more and more. The hassle of tying on leaders is wearing me down...:)
Great tips glen! Finess techniques are often thought to be used with spinning set ups but I use baitcasters with light line for shakey heads and tubes alot!
Hey Glenn what is my issue I can't seem to get a handle on braided line on my bait casters no issues with any thing but braid? Thanks keep up the great work and thanks for the help.
Great video. I am always intimidated at the big named supply stores. You walk up to the wall of lines must be 30 different brands and hundreds of weights and colors. Like most fishermen I have a budget preset by my wife so I really need to spend my dollars wisely. Thanks to your advise I have a better idea of which line and hook to match to the type of fishing environment I am working. Thanks again!
Yo Glen, thanks for all the info in all these videos. One question. You often mention MH casting rods, what line and lure weights do you recommend ? Dobyns, G Loomis heavy is 10-20lb line 1/4-1oz, St Croix med heavy 10-20lb and 3/8-1oz. It might be more helpful to us if you mention line and lure weights since there isn't a standard designation for rod powers. OR you can just let me know what you are referring to when you say MH.
Rod are not exactly the same from brand to brand - even model to model within brands. In your example, it's a 1/8oz difference. The recommendations aren't absolute, so you don't need to stay EXACTLY within those recommendations.
Yes the difference is 1/8oz but some rods are called Heavy and some are Medium Heavy even though the casting weights are very close. That is exactly my point. If you suggest MH and someone gets a MH rod, say from Dobyns rated at 10-17lb line on your recommendation that wouldn't really be a good jig rod.
Thanks for the finesse tip! Didnt know the hook couLd bend if Line+drag were aLL Light (I need to go buy new hooks now)!...i use braided Line too, but most pLaces are covered in weeds now, 15Lb test...maybe that's why i haven't caught a bass in the past month or so! LoL! Great tips iLL use next time I go fishing! Thanks for aLL the awesome tips #BassResource ! 🐟🎣🐟 "No absoLutes in Fishing, it's all about CONFIDENCE"!
HEY Glenn, actually had a question about the braid. I was carolina rigged recetenly with a braid to leade (since all I had at the time was a braided bait caster) and noticed my braid line floating but my flouro, weight and lure all acted normal. do all braid float? you mentioned with your texas rigged braid you have straight braid. How would you rig for carolina rigging? braid to leader?
Thanks for the great information. What would be the best of the 4 options for a more all around Texas rigging rod. I am someone who fishes from the bank so I try and keep the amount of rods to a minimum
I think a good, multi-purpose rod to have is a 7' MH power rod with a fast action tip. Spool on some 15lb co-polymer line and you'll be set to fish a variety of lures on it, not just Texas rigs.
I'm not a fan of leaders. The knot is just another point of failure, and it's a hassle to rig and re-rig it all. I haven't found a strong enough benefit yet to make it worthwhile to use leaders. Maybe I'm just old school that way.
The best thing to take from this video is doing what works for you. Everyone fishes different.

+1 on the mid-60s Ambassadeur 5000 in east Texas. That was my stompin ground and I learned about the purple Creme worm and Texas rigging.
The never ending quest to learn more. Thanks.
Love the video. My personal preference for the Texas rigs takes out one category with no true finesse spinning gear but three different baitcasters. 1 with 10-15 lbs fcarbon with a 3/16 bullet weight-no peg on a m/h rod; 20-30 lbs braid with a 1/4 or 3/8 bullet weight-sometimes pegged sometimes not pegged on a m/h rod; and a pegged 1/2-1 weight on 50 lbs braid on a h rod for my heavy stuff.
That’s a good tip as well, Jake Wiles. Thanks for sharing.
I don't do much flipping and pitching but need to learn so the info about line size on the Texas rig in that situation is much appreciated.
I'm glad you mentioned Fireline, I've always liked it and rarely see anyone else using it. It works great down here in the south where the water is usually not as clear (or clear at all), it doesn't slip on the spool or get wind knots like braids seem to, it casts smooth, and I can't ever remember ever breaking a fish off using it. 20 to 30 lb is as heavy as I use for Texas rigging plastics even in fairly rough cover.

Hi Paul Dowden. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Great tips!! My go to line for casting gear is usually 14# mono or Co-poly. Extreme situations I'll go heavier line. I don't care for braid or fluoro on casting gear, cuz if you backlash it screws up the line, I can't afford new braid or fluoro every time you trash your line & that could be once a trip out fishin. For spinning gear, I use 10-15# braid main line & 8# fluoro leader, also 8-10# mono or co-poly all main line, depending on the situation...
Gives you a lot of very pertinent information about Texas rigging in great detail so you can use spinning gear as well as baitcasters.
My 2 go to rods are 7ft. One heavy and one MH. I rig them both with Firewire 12lb and 30lb. I run the 12 through a Kast King Speed Demon for skipping under docks and a Abu Revo SX on the 30 for heavy cover. My finesse game sucks so thanks for the pointers!

Thanks again Glenn. My go to setup for a texas rig in sparse cover is 12lb flurocarbon on a MH rod and 2/0 or 3/0 wide gap hook, texposed of course.
Glad you liked it Michael Baker!
I use 40 lb braid with a 15 lb fluorocarbon leader when throwing a creature bait. Seems to work just fine.
Just started fishing with baitcasters so this is going to be helpful in the field for me
Ben Murphy, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Great tips
When I splitshot I prefer a mono leader tied to light braid
The buoyancy of the mono leader keeps the bait up off the bottom better....
Guess I'm old school ....or maybe just old! Still like my mono for my Texas rigs. Just me but it has worked for a long time for me. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Glenn: Different strokes for different folks... I've never owned a bait-caster. All my bass fishing is on ML, M, and MH spinning rods thus far.

Thanks for the info. Picking line is often the most difficult part for me (after choosing the Lure). Can't afford a rod/reel rigged up with every option like some. Plus they wouldn't all fit on the kayak.
I only have one med hvy rod, and have been using 50# braid for flipping moderate to heavy cover. I'll add a 12# fluoro/mono leader when flipping to sparse cover or gin clear water. Good stuff - thanks!
Great video as usual. I agree, the major factor is the hook. Match the line factor and drag of the reel to the hook and to the cover.
Thanks for the support, Chuck Dickerson, and thanks for watching!
I didn't think pros ever used mono. I guess it does have a usefulness in certain situations. Thanks for the tips!
Nice job sorting through the abundance of set ups available so a beginner can have some idea of rig setups to get started!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Another fabulous Bass Resource video....I use AN40 Copolymer on my Finesse spinning reels because Fluorocarbon created horrible line twists
Good video Glenn,I guess I’ve been using too light of a setup for punching.I’ve been using a med/hvy rod with 65# braid.I noticed I have been missing some hook sets, thinking that my be the reason. l’ll have to pick up a heavier rod.Spend the Money......

You're welcome Cheyenne Bassett! Thanks for watching.
I'll stay with my 16 lb Magnathin line for all my work fishing. I've never had a problem with this line,used it for the last thirty years.
Great informative video. I’ve been using 8 and 10lb braid without a leader. So far it is working for me.
Great tips Glenn..Keep em coming!...A person could never learn too much!..Thanks!
Thanks Glen for sharing the valuable information that helps enhance the fisherman's experience on the water.

Thanks, Jim Harper, I appreciate your feedback.
Great info! Covers all the basics. One video worth flagging and keep on hand.
Glad you liked it Roland Leone!
Like mono when fishing points or humps with finesse worms. Think stretch helps me keep from pulling hooks or breaking fish off
Thanks for posting. Good information...I've moved to 20 pound flouro the last few years when flipping/pitching. Thanks again! Mark
Great info. I often overlook matching the line to the hook, so I will have to keep that in mind next time I go out
Great! Let me know how you do!
Great info! I'm just starting out in fresh water so all the info possible is wonderful! I mainly saltwater fish so I love braid! Thanks again for the info look forward to testing out the tips!
Hi J. Lee, glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?

Glad to help, Ed LaFontaine. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
I love flipping and pitching docks! This helps a lot!
Great point. Everything must work together as a system from line to hook size/diameter.
great information for all fishermen
thanks for the tip of the fishing line i never knew that you needed different fishing line
Glad to help, Jackson Mydlinski. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Thanks for the info on how to keep everything matched up to get results. Always love the info.
Good run down, Glenn. I'm find myself reverting back to the days of old...and using monofilament more and more. The hassle of tying on leaders is wearing me down...:)
I never use leaders.
Being new to bass fishing this was very helpful to me,
Hi allan Lynch, glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?
BassResource - Bass Fishing Techniques All the techniques
The use of fluorocarbon line with a small hook. Also the choice of rod and reel to use.
Great tips glen! Finess techniques are often thought to be used with spinning set ups but I use baitcasters with light line for shakey heads and tubes alot!
Yes, absolutely Steven Mcever! Thanks for watching!
Excellent array of "tools", of course most of us have a dozen more rod and reel combos, because "what if"
Yes, absolutely Michael Sawall! Thanks for watching!
I like a medium action spinning rod with a superline and a fluorocarbon leader.
Another great instructional video. I like the explanations of when to use different lines.
All good tips Glen, punch that ticket.
I haven't thrown a Texas rig in long time think I will here soon
Hey Glenn what is my issue I can't seem to get a handle on braided line on my bait casters no issues with any thing but braid? Thanks keep up the great work and thanks for the help.
The trick with braid is ensuring it's spooled on real tight so it won't dig into itself and create major backlashes.
Great video and advice as always. Looks like some sort of long tailed tube you are using in your finesse example.
Great tips , will have to make sure my buddies see this .
Great video. I am always intimidated at the big named supply stores. You walk up to the wall of lines must be 30 different brands and hundreds of weights and colors. Like most fishermen I have a budget preset by my wife so I really need to spend my dollars wisely. Thanks to your advise I have a better idea of which line and hook to match to the type of fishing environment I am working. Thanks again!
Fish-On, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
I have to get a baitcaster soon. I use 10lb test on my spinning rods but sometimes it feels like I'm going to break the spinning rods
Yo Glen, thanks for all the info in all these videos. One question. You often mention MH casting rods, what line and lure weights do you recommend ? Dobyns, G Loomis heavy is 10-20lb line 1/4-1oz, St Croix med heavy 10-20lb and 3/8-1oz. It might be more helpful to us if you mention line and lure weights since there isn't a standard designation for rod powers. OR you can just let me know what you are referring to when you say MH.
Rod are not exactly the same from brand to brand - even model to model within brands. In your example, it's a 1/8oz difference. The recommendations aren't absolute, so you don't need to stay EXACTLY within those recommendations.
Yes the difference is 1/8oz but some rods are called Heavy and some are Medium Heavy even though the casting weights are very close. That is exactly my point. If you suggest MH and someone gets a MH rod, say from Dobyns rated at 10-17lb line on your recommendation that wouldn't really be a good jig rod.
Great info and tips! I use the same setups you use Glen for my Texas rigs.
Great! Let me know how you do!
Thanks for the finesse tip! Didnt know the hook couLd bend if Line+drag were aLL Light (I need to go buy new hooks now)!...i use braided Line too, but most pLaces are covered in weeds now, 15Lb test...maybe that's why i haven't caught a bass in the past month or so!

HEY Glenn, actually had a question about the braid. I was carolina rigged recetenly with a braid to leade (since all I had at the time was a braided bait caster) and noticed my braid line floating but my flouro, weight and lure all acted normal. do all braid float? you mentioned with your texas rigged braid you have straight braid. How would you rig for carolina rigging? braid to leader?
Braid is more buoyant than fluorocarbon. That's why I use straight fluorocarbon for Carolina rigs.
I use 40 lb braid with a 20 lb fluorocarbon leader
I use the 30lb braid and have for years. I tried 20lb but it didn't work well at all. It was like thread . I went back to 30lb power pro slick 8.
Glenn may always has good tips. I love these videos. Keep up the great work
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
Glenn, nice work. on the line difference.
Nice educational video. But aware of the tactics already.
Thanks for the great information.
What would be the best of the 4 options for a more all around Texas rigging rod. I am someone who fishes from the bank so I try and keep the amount of rods to a minimum
I think a good, multi-purpose rod to have is a 7' MH power rod with a fast action tip. Spool on some 15lb co-polymer line and you'll be set to fish a variety of lures on it, not just Texas rigs.
I didn't knowTexas rigs are for slow biters but I am going to try it in our Ga pond.
Great! Let me know how you do!
Thanks for breaking it down, was helpful pairing items with situations
This it great info. I use spider wire though.
Another good video Glen
Thanks Glenn, good advice on line choices.
more great tips from glenn & br thanx & keep em coming!!!
Great and informative video Glen.
Thanks for light hook info!
Another great video guys! Keep em coming!
Nice video. I usually do finesse with Yo Zuri hybrid.
Good info. Pretty much covers the spectrum of Texas Rigging. On your standard MH setup why not use a fluorocarbon leader?
I'm not a fan of leaders. The knot is just another point of failure, and it's a hassle to rig and re-rig it all. I haven't found a strong enough benefit yet to make it worthwhile to use leaders. Maybe I'm just old school that way.
great idea for a vid good info . was that a doo dad lure on the spinning rod like a tube but solid and flat
Mr. Twister used to make a bait like that., 3-4' soild tube with 4-5 flat tails about 1-2 ' long.
No, it wasn't. But good guess!
Thanks for the great tips I love fishing then rigs and it's good to know new tips
Very informative, nice video
Great tips Glen!
great information and tips
Thanks Glenn. Great video!
Awesome video! Lots of helpful tips
Great video, I’ll have to try the finesse Texas
braid works really well on spinning gear don't have the kinks from memory
Love you videos and your website.

From ultra light to bass rig---braid with fluoro leader
