A PEG On Your TEXAS RIG... ALWAYS or NEVER?

[@totalannihilation9065]

It's amazing how much I've learned on your channel. I started Bass fishing at 30 yo and sadly never had anyone teach me. Glad there are people like you out there who won't mind teaching.

[@Outdoor_Jack]

Honestly I’ve been wanting to use a peg for a while but I can’t find any but after watching this I now realize I don’t need one, thanks for the amazing videos Tyler I love getting the notifications for your new posts thanks so much and God Bless!!!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

So glad that I can help clarify things!

Oh my gosh taking us to school with the Texas rig this week. Got to admit I did not have a lock on this topic. I can assure you I have lost fish specifically because my weight is pegged and I pull it right out of that fish's mouth 🤦‍♂️. TRF keeping it real. 🎣

Great video. Simple, cut to the point yet detailed in explanation. I've been fishing my whole life (I'm over 30 now) but it's always been night crawlers and split shots and catch what bites. Now, I've been trying to get more into detail fishing for species and different types of water so doing research with a video like this really adds a boost to want to leave the house right now and go give it a shot. Thanks. Keep up the great work and fish on!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Heck yeah Joseph! My channel is for everyone, but especially those beginning their journey to bass fishing success!

[@dennisf9545]

I'm a bit old school and when I have the need to peg my weight then I will just use a toothpick. Jam it in the top of the weight, break off the excess and there ya go.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Great way as well!

[@raygissendanner1476]

Thank you great tips hope you have a great Thanksgiving

[@THIRTYONEFILMS]

I often will do a loose peg, basically pegging 12-14” from my hook, so it acts as unpegged action on bite, weight doesn’t drift too far from lure, and if I come up on thicker cover, I can just slide it down and it’s instantly pegged without re-rigging anything

[@TylersReelFishing]

That’s not a bad idea

[@Whitehalo117]

I always peg it. It allows for a ton of flexibility. You can always move it up and down the line. I can slide it down when around heavy cover and move it up when I'm not. You should also be using a Snell Knot for your hook to man...

[@Aidan_young50]

I don't know why but the part about rigging the weight on backwards made me laugh😄maybe because I do it more often than not

[@panayiotisnestoros899]

Hi, firstly thank you for all our videos, they have really improved my fishing techiques, and I've been bass fishing a while :) I want to ask you something regarding this video. I tend to be bank fishing and I usually target the rocks/boulders that are the main contruct of the dam wall. I have noticed that when I use a texas rig with a small, pegged weight I tend to get my lure to return to me with no issues, but when I use a bullet weight as seen in your video and not pegging it, I will always lose my lure by the 3rd cast. Is this because the weight and hook are getting separated and then getting lodged on the rocks? Would you recommend pegging them? Thanks :)

[@torryledin7666]

Great video! Idk if anyone agrees, but at the end I think it would have been cool to have seen more time of each fish catch- like seeing how you’re working the lure/bait for even a couple seconds prior to each bite.

[@TylersReelFishing]

While I agree with you, the KZbin algorithm does not. People skip if there is no action quickly

[@brittanyboynton7531]

THE NEW GRAPHICS 🤤🤤🤤

[@unclejay9205]

I was just lookin not so long ago at some toothpicks wondering why

[@dragngt]

I have one counter point to pegging your soft plastic. With it unpegged, if you flip it over a branch the weight often separates and causes you to get snagged as it’s adding weight down as you’re trying to pull out and off tree limbs.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yeah, if you’re fishing around a whole bunch of sticks, then peg. I covered that

[@dragngt]

@@TylersReelFishing I sort of thought you were addressing the depth you can get with the weight and pegging not so much the risk of getting hung up. Great video though. Enjoy watching you and your videos. 👍

[@cvleng0822]

I never use one. Mainly because i dont have any, but also just dont care to. If i want to keep my weight in one place with a bullet weight, i loop the line up and back through the hole in the weight. I know this isnt good to do because you create 2 more points of abrasion on the fluro, but im also not catching 5lb+ fish haha

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yeah, I would highly recommend against that because one of these days, you are going to hook into a fish of a lifetime, and break it off, due to something you could have prevented

[@karldriclott9057]

Any knowledge on weighted hooks fishing Texas rid style

[@TylersReelFishing]

I really only use those on swim baits like the rage swimmer, or soft plastic jerkbaits like the caffeine Shad

[@ovechkinata]

I have heard a lot of experienced anglers say that leaving a Texas worm unpegged is critical and gets them more bites, being that when the weight hits the worm in the water it gives it a spiral presentation and entices the fish more

[@TylersReelFishing]

Very interesting. I had not thought of that, but that could definitely be the case for some fish

[@the507kid9]

I add 2 glass beads between the weight and the hook is that bad?? I just like it cuz then it makes a little noise

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glass beads can shatter and slice your line. I’d recommend plastic beads

[@dgfishing]

What are your thoughts on pegged vs unpegged in reeds up here in Minnesota? A lot of the reeds vary from thick to sparse even on the same lake. Personally, I peg my Texas rig in reeds because the extra line could allow my bait to not reach the water in the fall reeds. Thoughts?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Depends how thick the reeds are and the depth. I’d say Minnesota reeds are a bit more sticky than most though, so maybe peg and see if you start losing some

Yeah my uncle always uses a small weight but breaks a toothpick off inside the weight so it stays pegged

[@colinmahon19]

I have never tried a peg with my tx rig because I thought that pegs dint work with straight braid (which is what i use for texas rigs). If i did want to try a peg for myself, do they even work with braid?

[@TylersReelFishing]

Pegs work incredibly well for straight braid. As a matter of fact, if you are punching, you should be using straight braid, with a heavy weight, and a peg

[@samtheangler47]

Cali dude I never peg my weight you want that lure to have more action when it gets to the bottom!

[@zacpearson1878]

Can’t go without em here in Florida, the sensitivity alone irritates me

[@davidnewton3064]

Never understood pegging a Texas rig. Just use a jig head. They make bullet weight shaped jigs heads with screwlocks and ewg hooks. And if the argument is that you can peg or unpeg your rig on the fly, then use those peg its products. Can't remove a rubber bobber stop without re-tieing. And I NEVER put my weight on backwards; I forget to slide it on entirely!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Haha I forget sometimes too😂
