Texas Rig Fishing: 5 Keys to Big October Bass in Texas

If you could only tie on one rig for the rest of October, it would be the Texas rig. Briggs breaks down the five keys that turn it into a big-bass rig: why October is Texas rig season along the creek-channel brush, the hook-and-weight system (3/0 to 5/0 hooks, the eighth-to-half-ounce tungsten ladder, pegged vs free), the October plastic and line lineup, the slack-line fall retrieve veteran move, and the three mistakes that cost fish. Includes the exact bait breakdown: 4-inch Rage Bug, green pumpkin, 4/0 EWG, quarter-ounce tungsten, pegged, 15-pound fluorocarbon — and where to throw it on Toledo Bend, Sam Rayburn, and Lake Fork. Daily Scripture — James 5:7 (NIV): Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. Fishing a Texas rig is farming: plant it in the brush, wait on the fall, and patience brings the harvest. Subscribe to Brim Fishing Network for new Texas fishing intel every morning.
