One of the best bass lures to use in the summer is the simple texas rig. There are so many baits out there these days that I feel like a lot of people neglect the simple texas rig at times.
It will catch a lot of bass and it will catch big bass!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

I was wrong. Pit Boss was designed by Skeet Reese. Sorry about that

[@marshallray2877]

Pit boss is cheating it's so effective. Great video!

[@Fishingmissions827]

No worries apologies accepted lmao. Hey bro what’s your Ohio PB? I’m in jersey. Where our fishing is similar. I’ve caught 7 over 5lbs and 2 one Oz shy of 6lbs within a year. and this years PB 7.4 back in may!!! This is from end of 2020 to today. Last week I got a 5.1 and and a 4.13. I’ve been successful catching that class fish being 4-7lbs what can I do to catch a bigger one. Mostly using a 1/2oz jig , swim jig and a spinner bait. All very common lures. What to do for a true giant 8+ lbs

[@lilo2628]

Hey Tyler, Love your content! Do you have a recommendation on floro vs braid vs leader and the line weight?

[@ronaldyeater3322]

No biggy Tyler. We just buy it 🤣.

[@travisbruno5964]

Yes you should be sry sucka..lol JKJK

[@loufebus9792]

I watched this episode yesterday, I picked up a pack of this lure today. I fished it from the bank at a spot where when I get a bass or two, they’re usually small. Today in an hour I caught 3 monsters. Mind you; I’m new to bass fishing and at 67; I just started using baitcasters this spring.

[@jerrypredmore8793]

Good job I’m watching today at 72. Just getting ready to apply the winter type baits and locations on elephant butte lake in New Mexico. Was in Ear 4 hours ago with sciatic problems but still gonna plan getting on the water in about a week. Stay with it it’s fun I didn’t fish for bass till I was 59. But it’s all I do now that I finally retired.

[@jasonstimson6617]

I’ve got a pack of em coming from amazon today, I’m ecstatic to try them. 30 years old in one month and just got back into fishing. Haven’t fished since I was maybe 12

[@sisleymichael]

I started fishing Texas rigged worms back in 1975 as a high school kid. I still do. I will use 4" all the way to 10" worms, depending on the type of water (big vs small, creek, pond, lake etc.). Crawdad plastics can work, yes. On smaller ponds and creeks a 4" worm with no weight using a spinning rod can be devastating. I always had outstanding results on Culprit worms. I use 3 colors (green, red, and black). Next, spinner baits. When the dog days of summer are here, I large spinner fished deep, just fast enough to barely get the blade spinning has had some very good results too.

[@paulhorton7792]

The pit boss is my #1 lure in the summer. It's not even close. I remember when they came out as the havoc series and I bought so many of them. My favorite color is perfection. It has worked for me in super clear and even muddy water. I have I think every color but it really is that good. It comes through cover easy. It's smaller profile to me feels almost like a finesse presentation.

[@erniebrightfishing]

I have a few bags of unopened havoc series baits. And I have a few opened too. I knew they were an older series but I bought them this summer at a discount store. Score.. lol. I got some pit boss and some fatty craws great find.

[@zacharyjordan1873]

Perfection is the best color made imo I fish clear highland resivors and they always put fish in the boat pegged or unpegged. Love ‘em also if you haven’t tried the max scent creature hawg it’s about as good 👍

[@ChrisG9978]

The Texas rig has been my go-to for years, especially because I enjoy fishing through weed beds and in shallower water. Nothing avoids a snag better than a Texas rig. This year however I started fishing blade baits more frequently, and although you can't fish them everywhere, I've landed some huge bass with silver and gold blades this Summer.

[@markwalker994]

Always love your videos so much useful info. Keep up the good work.

[@colejfishingadventures]

Great video man!! I love fishing as well and enjoy watching your videos!!

[@TheShermansFamily]

I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you!!

[@letun3481]

Berkley Pit Boss is amazing!!! I can feel the vibration when I reel it in. My first choice for dirty water!

[@jimcole5387]

Great intuitive video. Thanks

[@wickedvic6953]

Your videos are the highlight to my spare time but definitely not to my bank account.

[@richardturner7560]

I’ve fished the pit boss since it came out. It’s the most versatile soft plastic imo. I’ve used it as a jig trailer, chatterbait trailer, on Texas rigs , Tokyo rigs it just seems to get bit. It’s got a nice noticeable but not overly aggressive flap on the fall.

[@holdengamble]

Ol monsters all summer in ponds! You’re the man

[@erniebrightfishing]

Hey Tyler good video. I actually was able to catch a 4.8lb bass today on a plum ole monster. I threw everything jigs spinners top water swimbaits small jointed swimbaits craws tubes I mean everything. Then with 20 minutes left before I had to leave I picked up the zoom and it did the trick. I also live in Ohio. I was fishing in Fayette county I live in Ashville.

[@NedRigNerd]

Northeast Ohio here, and all bank fishing. And only been killing it this summer with the Zman Willow Vibe with a Biospawn Exoswim 3.5 and finesse topwater with the Zman Goat. These two setups are the only two to consistently produce day to day.

[@williamcharleson2051]

I fished that big ribbon tail I caught Over 6 lb 4 4lb And bunch of 2lbs in just a couple of days and everything you said was exactly right. Your awesome man

[@mac.23]

Can’t go wrong with the Pit Boss

[@ricrichess]

Yo Ty, met you last year at the marina on alum. Congrats on 100,000 subscribers. Huge achievement and happy for you. Keep up the great work bro.

[@joshualangham107]

I'm in north west Ohio and the Texas rigged pit boss is king for me all year around thanks for all your content brother man!!

[@ukstorm2727]

If you like the pit boss you would fall in love with the Big Bite Baits Dean Rojas Fighting Frog, its been a game changer for me, catching them shallow in grass, on wood, on ledges and deep points , unfortunately it might be the least durable plastic on the market but I'll deal with it because its the best beaver bait I've used and gets bit when everything else fails , as far as tubes the Vile Tube has out produced my favorite coffee tube

[@jniszczak]

Hey Tyler. Fished a pond this morning where I have not gotten bit. Fished a craw bait from Bizz Baits in brown pumpkin and had a decent fish on. Will be going back and working all angles of the pond. Thanks for the tip!

[@turkeytx]

great video. I use a craw-tube in place of pit boss and tube.works well

[@rodcashman4793]

Great video and baits

[@LuckyLucky-bm1pg]

those pitboss's are killer for me

[@jeffc2630]

I've yet to fish the pit boss, but have heard nothing but good, from you and other respected anglers.

[@erniebrightfishing]

Your missing out big time if you don't get some.

[@kennyg3192]

I thought that was the skeet Reese design unless that’s his nickname Ty!!! I love pitching at into cover popping it and then swimming out 💥💥🎯 Bass on I wish they would come out with a color like a midnight dawn/blue flakes and I guarantee like you said no matter what lake you’re on what Reservoir, you’re going to put a few fish in a boat

[@jpvernoutside3378]

I love fishin a tube. ALmost always I can throw onw texas rigged and catch some fish when everyone else is throwing the "popular" baits. Great video, thanks.

[@travisbruno5964]

The bekley pitboss is one of my favorite baits for Texas rigs, jig trailers it always works i must have 10 bags of every color at all times the action is amazing.and i prefer the zxone 12" worm it has a great float to it.. Thanks for the vid we appreciate you brother, i live in NJ thats why your tips work at the rite time

[@FlippinOkie]

The xzone ribbon tail is my favorite ribbon tail as well, especially the black with blue tail

[@zacharyjordan1873]

The perfection color works best for me. Love the 3” pitboss it’s my go to!!

[@travisbruno5964]

@@zacharyjordan1873 if that is the orange with the black and red flake top thats the color i get bit most on

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Tyler. Agree 100% bro👊. Tyvm

[@FlippinOkie]

I picked up the pit boss 6 months ago. Havent put it down since.. and oddly enough i only use HAVOC pitboss's. Ive got a store that still has LOADS of old bags of havoc pb's so i stocked up. I tried the berkley pit boss and didnt have as good of day so i just use havoc lol. Its a confidence thing. Favorite soft plastic on the market.

[@travisbruno5964]

I only use the powerbait pitboss lol

[@FlippinOkie]

Lol im hopin they make a maxx scent pitboss

[@collector_effectors]

Down in NC on the fisheries stocked with Florida and northern Strain, the Senko is basically the tube but the other two are staples all summer here. 🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@therealkosmora229]

I can't believe a video was made about my favorite soft plastic ever lol. I usually use the 5 inch version of the pit boss in minnesota

[@BigDirtDawg]

i been using the hammer hog which is very similar to this first and last lure. It always works on a tuff bite

[@ronny8383able]

Always good vixeos!!

[@jackcameronlawncare5704]

Hey man I love you videos and I was wondering what the best bass fishing combo is over all no budget in your opinion

[@Buford_T_Justice]

Brush Hog in Junebug for me. Also my favorite Carolina rig plastic.

[@koldy65]

The pitboss is always tied on and always with me.

[@dustinclick9496]

Never tried a tube before I’ll give it a try. I’d like to see some bank fishing tips if you ever have the time. I sure you stay super busy so it’s just a suggestion

[@charlesclayton7815]

Pit boss for sure and also a yum Christie craw. That Christie craw gets bit.

[@geraldbryant2610]

I like the pit boss . Did well with it last 2years

[@shaunmoeller3288]

Love the pit boss I neko rig mine

[@taurus772100]

Good content.

[@jasonstanfield444]

Hey Tyler Lowrance has a sell going on with their 9" elite fs, and I was wondering if I got a couple, one for the console and one for the troling motor. Would I be able to fish offshore effectively with them

[@mikegardiner3934]

Tyler, couldn’t agree more on the ole Monster. I’m always trying the newest baits, but this summer if fishing a pond, I’ve gone back to the ole faithful 10” plum with a 1/8weight. i’ve caught 2 over 5 and lost a couple too.

[@BigDirtDawg]

best lure ever made. 10.5” ol monster by zoom. I just caught a 6.9 and a 5.7 on one

[@Crushin123]

Always great content from this channel - those tube hooks are my worst hook up ratio hooks eveeeer. I have tried opening them up a bit, ..over sized, smaller ones etc - just no luck keeping them on...I hookset pretty hard, but I doubt I am bending the hook - just bad luck possibly. Still on the hunt for a good tube hook.

[@danjohnson6292]

Hey BassFishingHQ, please make a video for us on the "curled up on the front of my boat thing you mentioned. Want to make sure I'm doing it right. ;-)

[@paulcarpenter8152]

WHOOOOO! MAINE SHOUTOUT!

[@1tatman]

Works even better on the Tokyo!!

[@JS-oy6nn]

Ole monster worm has been wearing the bass out here in WV. 😊

[@loufebus9792]

Oh my, I went to the same spot yesterday. Only caught one nice bass. Then before I went home I moved about 75 yards. 3 cast; two cows. The last one was so big; when I pulled her through the weeds; she shocked me. I’m picking up 3 more packs before everyone catches on

[@SoSaysYou]

The havoc pit boss may be the best creature bait ever made. And to that think at one time they were $2! I catch bass from spawn to end of fall with the pit boss.

[@mikefromoh2925]

Hey Tyler, any comment on the ringed hooks ie Seth Feider for flipping and pitching?

[@abelabner]

I tend to agree with you on that, I like a beaver or craw T-rigged.

[@CodyLambert4U]

Thanks for the shoutout to maine! haha

[@johnblaha5692]

I live in Northern Ohio I enjoy watching your videos do you think you can give some tips for Bank angling Pond hoppers

[@CanoeAngler]

99,000 subs . Just about to hit 100k good job

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked 🙏👏👍

[@JohnSmith-ev7gz]

What size hook for a 12” Ole’ Monster? A 5/0 seems too small, thinking 9/0 shaky head might work… but is bigger worse?

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Boss on a chatterbait is awesome

[@BottomLineBassin2]

Throw them year round in Georgia and Florida, black and blue, 4" with 1/2oz tungsten 6/0 Superline ringed ewg.

[@lilo2628]

Did I miss the recommendation on floro vs braid and line weight?

[@alexyost6216]

From a fellow Ohio guy, a tube on a shakey head has been kind of my secret weapon this summer.

[@rkeyloroutdoors]

This is interesting. How are you rigging it? I'm from PA and flip a tube the majority of the time.

[@johnarnold5241]

This a question how and what do you use to peg the weight

[@mikewalt8642]

what size tube hook are you using

[@plitz]

How does the pit boss compare to the Baby D Bomb?

[@davidspeelman2333]

T-rig continues to steal the spotlight from all my other baits. $15-$20 baits lying in my box watching me tie on another $2 Texas rig.

[@adio222]

Same here man, I spent like 40 bucks at dicks sporting goods on top waters, crank baits, frogs, the whole nine, only to go out and throw a stupid rubber worm that has about a hundred holes in it from getting weedless rigged and catch fish all day

[@rayfernandez5949]

Do you have trouble with them in weedy mucky water ? I live in the southwest and my local waters are so weedy I’ve been trying to find a lure that stay clean but gets down to them .

[@MGreenFishing]

My favorite it is #1 pit boss

[@robertbrost7777]

Here I thought you were going to show a Zoom Finesse worm and a drop shot setup!The real # 1 lure to catch bass all Summer.

[@anthonygray2643]

You live in Ohio I live in Akron I fish a lot at summit lake from the bank at had a ton of grass and man are there some pigs in this lake the only problem I got it the only lake here that has no kind of map for it but it fun once I find them my PB for this lake is 4 lb caught a lot of 3 and 2.5 lb bass here love this video good hints for me to improve

[@nickkalisek8463]

What size pit boss do you prefer to use?

[@thefloridian8135]

I put the pit boss on a finesse jig and man I get so many strikes

[@cjnugent4102]

What size Trokar Tube hook are you using? I’m typically using a 4/0 wide gap, but I’m missing hook sets as well.👍🏻🇺🇸🎣

[@sumolax22]

Pitboss is on top

[@Bankfishindude]

All you have to do is catch da feesh,( and say number 1 lure for…..!) and you got me!

[@igot2friends219]

I put the pit boss on swinging jigheads every summer it seems to catch bigger bass

[@rodgermerritt8067]

Great info...but you missed what Line your using.

[@Oldbasshole]

Tubes are right behind jigs for me when it comes to confidence baits ( only I mean I have no confidence in them ) Not sure why but I just can’t catch a fish on a tube . Great video as always

[@svanginault]

I'd give jigs a solid few tries man. I used to never fish a jig. Then one day it just clicked. Now I have 2 jigs tied at all times. Got 1 white swim jig with a small white grub. And 1 black n blue casting jig. I'd suggest 1 or 2 trips to not bring anything but different jigs in different weights. Forces you to get some confidence. Also Google stroking a jig.

[@Oldbasshole]

@@svanginault I’ve been forcing myself to throw a jig all season. Definitely getting better with them . I had a long talk with Cuda from Jigsquad about stroking a jig lol Thanks for the tips , tight lines

[@rkeyloroutdoors]

I recommend fishing a jig vertical to begin with (stroke it). Master that and it will change everything for you.

[@mikefromoh2925]

What kind of water? Here’s 2 tips- Try fishing them just on a plain exposed jighead, 1/8 - 1/4 ounce. 3” green or brown. Or if it’s an area with a lot of wood, take the tube and put some tiny splitshot in the tube. Then take a piece of senko and shove it up into the tube all the way to the head. Maybe a drop of superglue on the front of the senko. Then cut it off even with the end of the tube body. Now you have a solid tube with a weighted head. Rig it backwards with an EWG and pitch it near some wood or a dock, and it will swim away from you into the cover.

[@Oldbasshole]

@@mikefromoh2925 thanks for the tips !

[@_md______]

Would love to hear an honest review of baits. Berkley is literally at the bottom of the list of products i would use.

[@theworshipbunker]

What size and kind of line do you use fishing these plastics???

[@mikefromoh2925]

He said 17 lb fluoro

[@WildBillHabiki]

I think Skeet Reece developed the Pit Boss.

[@walleyeg7328]

:46 fish jumped in the background!!!!

[@darkwar12345]

Pit boss is my secret plastic I use when I’m not catching nothing. Great affordable plastic

[@bassnerd4918]

Tube must be a Midwest thing because I fish the Hoosier and buckeye division bfls and everyone throws a tube. It catches them But I’ve stopped throwing it just because everyone in my area does.

[@jaredmcmichael3804]

I live in Ohio. Where do you fish at? Rarely see the size of bass you catch where I’m at

[@robertbrandywine]

I'd be surprised if there's much difference between the Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver, the Berkley Havoc Pit Boss, and the Strike King Rage Tail Structure Bug.

[@davidleibfried4096]

I threw a 12" jelly worm in purple on a Texas rig in a lake I've tried hundreds of times to catch a fish and caught a 7# bass I was speechless

I trusted your judgement until i noticed that you were wearing crocs. LOL

[@Noxus187]

Fishing is a lot like the lotto, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose!

I catch fish year round on the tube

[@Fastbreak27]

I think Skeet Reese invented the Pit Boss

[@bluelighting042001]

Huh, didn't know you too were in Ohio. Would love to hear about where you fish the most around the state.

[@Jason_Emry_Fishing]

Instead of a lake in the summer, what would you use on the Ohio river & the tributaries?

[@BassFishingHQ]

Dynamite

[@Jason_Emry_Fishing]

@@BassFishingHQ so true! I was there last weekend and I thought the same thing! 😂😂😂

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Do you ever Snell your hook for better hook ups?

[@BassFishingHQ]

With weights over 3/4 oz I always snell. Weights under that I really don’t have a problem hooking up

[@rkeyloroutdoors]

Pit Boss vs D Bomb. You can only have one. Which are you picking?

[@BrandonX444X]

The pitboss is a great bait. But in my neck of the woods the yo mama and battle bug is king in the grass.

[@Hawg-Snatcher]

Tyler. Just curious why you don't use America made rod and reels. Personally I'd rather spend the extra money on something made in America 🇺🇸

[@AlexRuddFishing]

The tube is an absolute sleeper.
