How to Retrieve a Texas Rigged Soft Plastic Worm

The best knot to tie is the best knot you can tie..... Some of the best fishing advice you will ever hear

Time and time again I see how to tie the Texas Rig. But finally someone shows me how to fish the lure.. And I"m 76 years Old.... Thank You Brian...

Brian, I've found that bass are similar to seagulls in a McDonald's parking lot. When they are alone and find a French fry, they sit and eat it on the spot. When there's a group around them, they grab it and try to fly away so it won't be taken away from them. Anytime a bass runs from the spot where he picked up my lure, I try to land that fish quickly and get another cast right at that spot. He was running away from his competitors. My absolute most favorite way to catch fish. Spot casting a black 8 inch Mann's Jelly Worm (or the homemade equivalent) with a 3/16 oz. Slip sinker and 4/0 Eagle Claw 295JBL, Let her hit bottom, count to 2 while watching line, then 2 quick pops, let 'er fall, then reel it in.

Finally, someone who actually shows the hand, arm, wrist movement while explaining why they're moving the bait that way. Very FEW will show their movements. All they show is a fish being caught with the rig they're supposedly teaching to use. Thanx for showing your actual retrieve motions and movements and hope you do more with other baits (ie bladed jigs, swim jigs, various cranking methods, and basic jig fishing). Showing what to do with the rod, reel, and hand/arm movements is something everyone else leaves out. I don't really care if they show themselves catching a fish. Everyone knows what that looks like! I wanna learn the technique. You just did that in this vid.....Thanx BLat!!!

I started fishing last year and you'd be surprised how difficult it was to find simple explanations on how to retrieve very common rigs/baits. I'm glad you made this video since everyone else on YouTube just focuses on what gear you need to buy

You explain things better than most of the fishing YouTubers do. Thanks!

Great video. The funniest worm fishing line I heard by a Pro at a seminar 20 years ago. "When worming, you will generally get 3 taps. First tap is fish picking up the worm. Second tap is the fish spitting out the worm. Third tap is me, tapping you on shoulder saying, you dun waited too long to set the hook!"

This is one of the best retrieve videos I have ever seen. Envisioning your bait-rig in the water is such an important lesson to learn and helps you read water and expect the bite. So good. Thank you 🙏🏾

I came from 4 billion years in the future and can attest that we still throw the Texas Rig at fish. That said, great and informative video Brian.

what a great teacher much respect

Hey Brian. First time seeing one of your videos. You are really good at just talking and explaining things. This was a perfect video to learn the inns and outs of a Texas rig. Glad I found your channel. I am finally at the age of 57 getting my first kayak to get out on a lake. I have been bank fishing long enough lol. A lot of the different techniques I'm not familiar with so your channel looks to be very helpful.

Yeah, the Texas rig is a great way to fish. Enjoying your videos.

Tune us in B-Lat.,,!!!✌️👀

They are running so the other fish don’t steal their treat. They’re probably thinking see ya suckers! Until the hook gets set. 😂

Started fishing bass recreational on the weekends sometimes about 2 years ago! I've caught 600+ fish on a Texas rig

Really like how you have clear detailed explanation of the basics like how to put the plastic bait on the hook or what knot to use and how to tie. For us beginners this is critical knowledge.

Well done brother. Anybody & I mean ANYbody that watches this ought to be able to go out & start fishing a Texas rig today. Excellent presentation my friend!

Love your down to earth style dude. You really really know your stuff. Would love to do more fishing with guys like you man!

My absolute favourite bait is a weightless 5 inch yum dinger in bream colour or green pumpkin. Caught an 8 pounder las weekend. Water is still warm here in South Africa so the fishing is still excellent. Brian, your videos are brilliant. Works anywhere in the world.

Love throwing into cover with a Texas rig.
