Texas Rig 101 - How to Fish a Texas Rig Worm and Catch Bass (Easy)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- 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!
Awesome!
That's a good size!
Nice man do u still fish?
@@impxctfn9865 every chance I get!
@Sapid he’s using 15 lb line, 3/0 or so offset hook and 1/8 ounce bullet weight.
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.
Amen!
Well said! It’s okay to be excited to catch small ones and even bluegill
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!
I am glad it was helpful 👍
@@RealisticFishing definitely worth a sub!
No shame! This stuff has gotten pretty complicated which is why I like the Realistic Fishing RUclips channel. A Texas rig is simple but versatile and deadly effective.
After being away from fishing for 20+ years, I’m slowly getting gear and getting back out there from time to time (work permitting). This rig reminds me of my childhood days. Thank you!
Good luck out there 👍
Just stumbled upon this channel - I love how straightforward and to the point it is. No gimmicks, just the techniques, and you seem like the type of fisherman who'd be a good dude to get a beer with. Subscribed!
old but still holds true glad I found this
Hell yeah! It's cuz of watching you i have been able to slay 300 fish in 3 months! Thanks bro and keep it realistic!
I love how you take your time to explain the technique and to show a very calm and pro retrieve through the grass.
Thank you! I need all the pointers I can get!! I’m just beginning to learn how to use soft plastics so this was FABULOUS!! 😊
Have you had any luck though?
same
I really like that you show every cast damn near even if its not a fish cause it shows how tuff the bite can be even when you use something you know catches fish
as someone who’s just starting out, this video was a lot of help. i’ve been given the advice of texas rig worms but now i’ve seen it and action and the technique that goes along with it.
look forward to trying this out myself. hopefully i catch some beauties. (any fish caught is a beauty to me right now lol)
Best fishing channel on RUclips by far, no bs. Keep it realistic!
I've been watching videos about bank fishing for a few weeks trying to get tips. This is literally the first video I've came across that broke things down simply. Thanks for posting. Please make more like this!
The way you explain, its so easy to understand. I'm beginner fisherman!
The Texas Rigged Senko has been killing it for me these past days! Keep it Realistic!
@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.
I'm not a soft plastic angler but after watching this I am going to give it another chance. Thanks Alex. Fish On!!
Good luck 👍
I just started last week useing worms, on a Shakey head and manOman I've been catching em, gonna try the Texas rig style next time
Been struggling on the Texas rig for the past 3 months on the technique and rigging. After watching ur video I went out and got 2 in a row and then a 3rd 15 min later. Thx so much for the advice. Love using them now and have no problem picking them up on a slow day. Love ur channel
That is so awesome! I am glad my tips and tricks helped
Been watching ur channel for a while and love all ur videos. Ur by far one of my fav fishing youtubers. Just realistic and down to earth. Best thing u could ever ask for with a fishing RUclips channel. Thx
Admittedly, I have always gotten overwhelmed with the choices of types and colors of soft plastics. Your video demonstration made a definitive point that those things don’t matter as much as we think. Truly, keeping it realistic! Thanks for the great content!
Going to give this a try over the weekend. Thank you. Trying to get back into fishing it has been about 25 years since I was fishing on a regular basis.
Sorry I know this video is 3yrs ago but new subscriber fisherman and wrestling fan...thanks for the Texas rig hook up... I've tried to get it down with out messing up my lures did the step by step you showed and got it down perfect...and thanks for doing it step by step and not like other anglers who show you and speak so fast by the time you catch up they already have it in the water..so again thank you lol .....and "I'm keeping it realistic"
Not many video you see actually show technique and how to properly setup one of these rigs. I mean you did it a way that even I was able to follow along. I got stubborn bass in our private lodge lake that won't take anything. But perhaps with this method I should be able to target the more easier. I got lots of plastic worms and hope to get some nice video of getting some bass.. Can't wait to get on the water.. Thank you sir for such a helpful teaching video.
good luck!
That jump when you first hooked that 3+ was boss
Love the 101 concept. I hope you're planing on doing more baits and lures. 👍
Thank you for finally putting to rest the argument that one color is better than another. I think that dark vs light is useful based on murky/clear conditions but no more change ups just for color. Maybe for variety, you know, the spice of a bass's life. Thanks for a great show. Canada's watching.
Just spent 3 hours trying to fish a Texas Rig for the first time. Didn’t catch squat. Left feeling like there was something I was missing. Lo and behold, I get home and you have uploaded this video lol awesome as always, thank you.
Thanks for not having a loud ego driven 30 second intro.
Your methods work. Thanks for uploading.
Even experienced fisherman need a refresher every now and then. Good ABCs for new fisherman too. Much appreciated.
Getting back to bass fishing in June. I’ve been busy with lots of yard work and manual labor in my neighborhood and haven’t had much time to fish. You have an awesome no nonsense channel that teaches and encourages others to go angling. Great job!!
Thanks for watching Jeffrey
Thanks very much for your explanation and demonstration, I look forward to trying this out when I go fishing tomorrow! Edit: Tried it, got a small bass on the first cast! I love it and I'm glad I added this technique to my arsenal. Thanks!
Great video! No hurry and slow are points that new anglers should remember for Texas Rig 101.
My 7 yo grandson and I are graduating up to bass fishing from sunfish, worm and bobber fishing. We both watched your video. It was an absolutely perfect instructional video for a short attention span. His too!…Great Job sir!
It’s refreshing to watch a RUclips video in which the term “Texas rig” is properly used to include the bullet weight. Too many anglers (and RUclipsrs) incorrectly refer to the Texas rig when describing a weedless or weightless rig without the bullet weight.
Gotta have the weight!
I love fishing the Texas rig. I use it all the time. I'm always happy to learn how to be even better when I fish it
Texas Rig is really good but im new to fishing and whenever I use it down in Florida it always still gets stuck in the mud and stuff. do you know how to avoid that and any tips?
You have helped me learn about bass fishing. Before now I have always been a bobber, and catfisherman. Thank you so much for opening the world of lures to me
I'm a Texas native ,that rig works flat out always fills the pan ,and always leaves you smiling nice presentation good video .
Thanks Tony
I’m going to have to slow my roll worm fishing. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you...you are very thorough. Simple and not a lot of mumbo jumbo talk. Keep it simple and easy to understand. 😎👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome tutorial on the Texas Rig! Pro level bro! Great job! Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Nice catches, nice tutorial 👍🏻
Worms on a Texas Rig = Fish just that simple!! Nice Fish!! Enjoyed!!
Thanks 👍
The same way my Papa taught me. I love the Texas Rig. I caught a majority of my bass from that. Memories 😂 Alex those where again some great bass. Thank you for the information and trip down memory lane.
Because of this video I used the Texas rig you showed and did the best to mimic your "dragging" technique. Result: I caught my first big bass!!! Thank you!!!!!
The way you explain things reminds me of Bob Ross, I love it!
A Texas rigged plastic worm=reliable. Thumbs up!
watched over 100 fishing videos about texas rig and from all of those complicated sponsored fishing videos etc I FINALY found your video. So easy and simple and straight forward explanation... I bought me a cheap 2 piece 180cm pole and it came with a 0.20 reel and unknown silk or whatever you call it.. and within 3 hours I got my first 4 pikes in my life. For some reason they liked it more than bass or i just threw in wrong place :D ... subbed
Awesome!
Nice simple instructions for using the Texas rig. I like that you're bank fishing and not on a boat. Good job...
Thank you so much for taking this step by step! By far the most informative and easiest video i’ve watched! I been fishing on and off for several years with live bait such as worms and minnows. I wanted to try something new so today i went out to buy a decent bass rod and reel, and picked up a pack of green watermelon senkos. Thanks to you I now know how to rig, bounce and cast. I hope I can finally land fish on a plastic worm!
thanks for clear concise vid, I have just had to give up bass on a fly rod due to shoulder problem, all my experience on how to catch bass on a fly rod just went down the drain, tied my own fly's also, I bought my first bait caster rod & reel and with a few practice sessions I can now cast it with my left arm, its funny, with a fly rod I cast with my right arm and cranked the reel with left hand, now I cast with left arm and reel with right hand, anyway, im grateful for the no bull information on how to fish a Texas rig, I have a few rapala's and a few worms and im starting over.........
Thank you! I’m new to fishing this year and still learning. No luck catching anything yet but trying to learn the Texas right to try and help
Very helpful! Appreciate the straight foward steps and real demosntration👍👍
Where were you 3 weeks ago when we lost a dozen lures? 🤣🤣🤣 Texas Rig is how I’m going to to fish that stream from now on. Thanks!
Great demonstration without a rig Texas worms and how to catch fish with them. Thanks
The master of the Texas Rig strikes again
Been getting into bass fishing since it is one of the few things socially distant to do since COVID. Rubber worms are always one of my favorites.
Nice video, Alex. I have to say, it is your earlier videos that got me hooked on bass fishing a year ago. Thanks to you, I can catch big bass knowing that I am not burning a whole through my wallet every time. Thank you, sir!
Great vid thanks for the no BS demo on how to rig and use a Tx rig worm.
Ive said it many times...KING OF TX RIG!
Awesome bass. I came here to see how a Texas Rig setup works in the real world and it did not disappoint 👏
You are the reason I have heavily started using Texas Rigs.
I’m so happy to find a straight forward video! I also found that the estrogen flowing through our waste systems (hormone pills thrown down toilets, etc) are Turing over 50% of the male bass populations into females.... their populations are collapsing in some areas
Thanks for making a basic fishing video that we all can understand. I am 54 and in my second year bass fishing and getting better but there is a lot to learn. Thanks for making it understandable and realistic! Keep up the good work
good instructions. easy simple pace. and clear as a bell. anyone can learn to Texas Rig fish from this tutorial. Thanks!
I tried a power worm today and after about 30 casts in the same hole with no luck i switched to a crawdad orange 1/4 oz rooster tail spinner and 4th cast i hooked a 5-6lbs 20.5 inch large mouth! That baby was rippin line :D you never know what might work and im glad i didn't give up. It was from the bank and i landed it without a net on 8lbs line. A great day I'll always remember fishing with my dad 😎👍
I like how u don't assume people're stupid when you explain stuff ... too many YT micro-detail when they explain. Nice fish + video
That was like fishing 101 , thanks for sharing your knowledge of worm fishing !!! I’m catching a lot of bass with these techniques, thanks to to you.
Awesome!
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!
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!!!
Dude you are my hero! I just started fishing recently and every lake and stream by me has so much stuff growing in it that every 2-3 casts I was losing my lure. This setup will be perfect for my area! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
Texas rig never fails. I’ve been obsessed with the wacky rig this season. I’ve caught several 3 pounders on it!
Nice! I like the sound of that first fish pulling drag. 😁
Nice video man I've been a saltwater guy for years just moved to the Midwest and getting ready to try my hand at bass fishing this helped me out a ton thanks
Keeping it realistic I now catch more fish.
Texas Rig is my favorite way to catch fish
Great explanation of how hooking the fish works.
Hey Alex, I think people really liked this video. 🤗Been reading the comments.
Liked the suggestion, someone made, about showing the right way to tie onto the hook whether you're using an EWG or a straight shanked hook. Terrible to hang into a bass and have your knot come untied. 🎣🐋 I've been using the old standard to tie mono on for years. Had an old fisherman teach me to put a drop of super glue on my knots. I don't do that anymore because I have confidence in my knots. However, it can be a lifesaver for a beginner. PS The super glue also makes for a smoother knot. Easier to thread the worm back on the hook when a fish slides your worm onto your line.
Nice fishing! You got mad skillz with worms! Do you think you could do another one with creature baits one day? I would like to see more about fishing with them.
Sure!
Thank you, sir!
You are the best...nice simple tutorial on catching bass and fish period. If you want to catch bass or any kind of fish...you need to watch videos by Alex...great videos!!
I appreciate that!
Loved this video, thank you. There is hope for me yet in MA...
Great 101 video, thanks for showing techniques from the bank
Great video. Calm and clear speaking, you are a great teacher.
I failed to mention in my last comment. My hero Mr. TENNESSEE HIM SELF. BILL DANCE GOING FISHING TODAY.
Great videos, still watching years later!
Thanks!
By far my favourite fishing RUclipsr. Very educational
Instant subscribe from me. I watched your video today, then went out at lunch and caught my first Largemouth on a Texas Rig after watching how you retrieve it. (16"!)
AWESOME!
Live by the Texas rig bro, i love the ewg hooks so i can also rig crawls and frogs.
Easy lesson man. You have helped me catch more fish. Thank you.
I love the clean/retro look of that rod. The nice shade of blue with cork grips is so saucy lol 🤣❤️
Hi there just wanted to say thank you very much. I watched this a couple of day ago and went fishing today and i got the biggest bass of my life about 18 inches long very happy man here
Great way to bring that first bass in. Any new person watching will really learn from this video.
Best video and I’ve watched many. Gonna go this route. Ty my man🎉
I've learned a lot of new shit from you man; no bullshit just real fishing....even when getting skunked. Best fishing channel on Y-tube!
Good instructional video with no BS. "Keep it realistic"
I’ve watched some real good videos as of late. I’m a novice fishermen. Just now starting to get into bass fishing. Out of the videos I’ve seen this is by far the best one. Haven’t felt a need to leave a comment like I felt on your video! Excellent info and video!
Thanks!
Just caught my first pike yesterday with this rig after watching this video so thank you! Maybe a Bass next time
This was perfect and without all of that fancy shmancy stuff. Realistic indeed. Gonna try this week for sure. Thank you 🙏🏾
Very clear explanations, thanks! From a fisherman leaving in France
Thanks for watching!
I love the way you present your videos, straight forward and with pure love for the sport. Sub'd!
That was a great video! Instructional and fun to watch. Nice fish too!! Keep em coming!
This is so helpful! Going to try this tomorrow morning
Good luck!!
@@RealisticFishing caught a 4 pounder this morning!! Thanks so much for the help! The technique definitely worked!
The Texas rig has been the most popular rig for fisherman probably forever. I don't use it as much as I should. I use the wacky rig mostly because I get most of my strikes on the fall after I cast it. That's a real nice looking lake tons of cover for Bass. Great video my friend!
Hey Alex this Texas rig 101 video is a sweet idea man. Would you be able to turn it into a playlist with other videos to help a lot of us out who would like to know more about fishing different rigs and lures? I’m still learning, not a pro or veteran by any means- just keeping it real.
Most of my videos are geared toward beginners but I will try to remember to make a playlist. 👍
Realistic Fishing yeah you’ve taught me a lot of stuff and I appreciate it. Thanks dude!
