Getting School’d with JP DeRose: (Exclusive to WFN – World Fishing Network) Season 2 – Texas Rigging.
Fishing in heavy cover means making your presentation weedless and placing the bait where others wouldn’t dare. If your looking for big bass sometimes you just have to put your offering in their living room.

hi what's the difference between Texas rig and Carolina rigs thanks
dont bass see your braided line?
hes also trying to pull fish out of heavy slop.
yea why not. i use it, but with a fluoro leader. usually 30lbs.
Mooses ? LOL
65lb braid is only the diameter of 17 mono(in theory) itll cast and pitch easily enough
@GettingSchoold i only use 8 pound for my spincast but with my 6"2 rod i use 10lb and with my 7ft 12 pound doesnt 65lb like mess ur cast up?
@GettingSchoold oh wow 65 lb?? i use 10 or 12 lb on my baitcasters lol
Very nice.
I just picked up some Lunkerhunt dragon green pumpkinseed plastics and some #2 gamakatsu offset hooks, using the texas style rig do i just flip or toss out let it sink and reel in or do i have to jig at all?
@pmc820 Yes.
if you're fishing this heavy of cover, braids a good idea. i usually texas rig on 12lb fluro, but i'm not usually throwing into anything as thick as this (i texas rig on a spinning rod/reel combo cuz i don't need to use a heavy weight where i fish, so it's not really heavy enough for a baitcaster). i do use 50lb braid on my frog/jig setup though, because i throw my frogs into just about anything.
@xIMxAwSoMeZx – I agree. I'm only using 10-14lb mono for largemouth. I have another rod that I'm using 40 lb braid….which I use for stripers. Typical stripers caught are 30+ inches weighing at least 20 lbs…
@SupremeScreamStudios : There's a bit of a difference between fishing in Canada for Largemouth Bass and anywhere South of the Mason Dixon boys… for anyone in the North a Largemouth over 4 is a solid fish and limits of 20 lbs are pretty common up here… our record bag is 31.5 lbs for 5!
thumbs up if you think there people that just look at videos to dislike them cuz theres nothing rong with this video and it has 2 dislikes???? nice job thank you for the info im gonna try my texas rig today with my grandpa hopefuly it works and u hit me up and i could probly told ya what i cought. =D
amazing video…
pro reels must make more noise..i have medium grade stuff and have landed fish like that in…and there is no sound..lol..crazy..i've pulled 3 and 4 lb fish outta some sloppy stuff with berkley 17lb xt..that 65lb test is way overboard..i may use braided around stumps and rocks but totatally unnecesary in a normal circumstance
how much would 65lb braid cost?
25lb line? 65lb line? For bass, seriously? I fish for sea bass and bluefish and mostly use 10lb with 8lb leader (just mono) and have been doing fine…
Only time I use 20lb+ is when i go pike fishing
@iDirtyDan : I'm a huge braid fan personally and flip with 65 lb most of the time but I always have a couple od rods rigged with straight fluorocarbon… one with 20 lb for sparse cover and one with 25 lb for getting into the junk. Mono has far too much stretch for my liking.
would you recommend fluorocarbon or mono?
65 braid for texas rigging worms???
hm i use 12 lb flouro-mono mix line and i have monster hook sets but my line dont rip. i honestly dont see a point in using 15lb + line unless in a tourny or when throwing big swimbaits and skiping under docks and heavy vegetation
@FishboiFishboi : I would rather use each one alone since having another knot is just another place to have failure.
@GettingSchoold
oh aright.. thanks for the tip. one more thing i gotta ask… would using braid and a fluoro leader still be as effective as in just using fluoro?
@FishboiFishboi : Not a great idea for heavy cover. In open water you may get away with it but I would be gun shy if you have a big hook set.
wow nice vid. i was wondering if this will work too… braided line ( 20-30lbs) with a 14 lb flourocarbon leader? would that still work in thick vegetation or weeds?
@FishingFreak711 : You should be using a bullet weight with a Texas Rigged soft plastic to avoid getting hung up with weeds and structure. The pointed weights are best when dealing with vegetation.
is it okay for the worm and hook to spin while in the water
@mrbassinthecover : I have one done for properly setting up a VBS baitcaster… check out my video list.
you should make a how to cast a baitcaster video because not many people actually show you all the tiny important details
i love all of the names you give them in your videos! mooses, toads, hawgs, etc. haha
Nicely done JP!!! Love that slop and those weed lines!!! Hi Vis line, eh, I have never used cause I thought the fish would see it…everything is worth a try…
