Why Texas Rigs Are a Game Changer for Summer Bass Fishing – Strike King Lures in Action

Why I LOVE Texas Rigs! Summer Bass Fishing With Strike King Lures

 

Why do I love Texas Rigs? Watch me do some summer bass fishing with Strike King worms and find out. Its 94 degrees today and I am sweating out here. But I want to catch a few bass, so what do I choose? I planned on using both worms and craws today, but stuck with the worms because of the results. While standing on a log over the water, I catch 2 nice largemouth bass! I walk down the bank a little way, and catch another bass. This one was two pounds! Summer is a great time to Texas Rig a worm, and the Strike King lures work great for this application.

Fishing With Ultralight Lures on a Medium Fast Action Spinning Setup

 

Today I’m fishing with ultralight lures on a medium fast action spinning setup. Since I am using 6 lb test mono, I can get away with fishing these small lures. The fast action on the rod gives me a good twitch for presentation. The medium backbone helps for better hooksets! I like this setup because it sits between ultra light and medium heavy. I can fish a heavier ned rig, or a small 1 gram jig like this. I catch some big bluegill, a small bass, and a variety of smaller bluegill too. I catch them on both artificial minnows and worms, but the minnows did better on the ultralight rig today.
