Re: plastic and rubber lures
bundy,<br /><br />This is a good rig for bass fishing. It is very weedless easy to fish. This rigging can be used on almost all plastic baits including lizards, gitzits (tube baits), crawfish, plastic jigs, and worms Note: use very sharp hooks

Texas Rig <br /><br />
<br />Step #1<br />Put bullet slip sinker on line. Make sure the nose of the sinker faces the rod tip.<br /><br />
<br />Step #2<br />Insert hook about 3/8" to 1/2" down center of worm. Bring hook out and push all the way through.<br /><br />
<br />Step #3<br />Insert hook back into worm so that worm hangs straight and hook point is hidden in body of the worm. It is a good idea to push the hook through a couple of times to make a small hole or channel in the plastic. This will help insure a good hook set.<br /><br />
Carolina Rig This works great on under water ledges and humps. When setting the hook use a long side sweeping motion. <br /><br />
<br />Step #1<br />Tie worm hook on to leader of 12 to 48 inches. Insert hook in worm in same manner as Texas Rig. Tie a swivel on end of leader.<br /><br />
<br />Step #2<br />Slip a 1/2 to 1 oz. bullet weight on end of line (tapered end facing rod). This weight can be lead (if legal in your state), steel or brass (as shown). Then slip on a glass bead (made for this purpose with hole in center). Tie end of line to other side of swivel.<br />The glass bead has two purposes. First it clacks against the weight and makes noise. This can be an attractor to bass. Second, it acts as a insulator and protects the knot from the constant banging and contact of the heavy weight. Many bass aglers prefer the steel or brass weight over the lead because they create more noise.
