Jacob Wheeler's NEW Bait was built for this Texas Rig Technique

In this video, I break down how I’m using a Texas rig in a completely different way by swimming it instead of just dragging it, and why this approach is getting more bites when traditional power fishing lures like chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and swim jigs stop working. I go through several soft plastic options that work for this technique, including the Strike King Menace and why one of the best alternatives has been Jacob Wheeler’s Crush City Cleanup Craw, which is designed perfectly for this style of fishing. We also talk about how this approach is showing up at the highest level, including Jacob Foutz’s recent Bassmaster Elite Series win using a creature bait in a similar way. This is a simple adjustment that lets you fish places other moving baits can’t reach while still triggering reaction bites and catching more bass.
