During the spawn season, "Texas Rigging" is a big-bass technique.

A "Texas Rig" is simply rigging a bullet weight with a hook and tipping with a soft plastic lure.  This technique is for heavy duty bass fishing...
You don't hunt Buffalo with a BB Gun and you don't fish for a Lake Fork Bass with light line!
Use heavy line and at least a medium-heavy to heavy action rod with line size 15 pounds or greater.
Weight size should be 3/16 ounce.

Now for the soft Plastic:
During the spawn the largemouth has a few threats to the nest site
 so spotting these threats really gets their attention. 
Salamanders and crawfish are both mortal enemies of the bass as well as tasty meals
so select soft plastics that imitate these.

The selection of soft plastic lizards and craws is abundant. 
My personal favorites include:  Grande Bass mutant and machine.
These new baits have new and improved action that bass haven't seen yet.

Fish your "Texas Rig" around cover on spawning areas slowly. 
Cover lay-downs, stumps, boat docks and vegetation.

"Hawg On!"
..."Texas Rigging" soft plastics produces Texas-Sized Bass!

Soft stick baits have evolved into the most popular technique for good reason. 
Soft stick baits catch fish...Big Fish...under all conditions!

Rigging a soft stick bait is quite simple.
The top two ways are: 
"Wacky" and Weightless(This is just like you would rig a worm just minus the weight.) Soft stick baits work because of the slow fall and tempting wiggle.

Colors and sizes of soft stick baits are many. 
Experiment with different styles and colors and sizes of soft stick baits
until you find your favorite color for your particular body of water.

My favorites for Lake Fork are the Grande Bass rattlesnake and honcho :
In the watermelon red flake, green pumpkin, watermelon seed
and black and blue fleck.

My color choices are directly related to weather and water.
During sunny days and in clear water I use watermelon re and watermelon seed.
On cloudy days in off-colored water I go with green pumpkin
and black and blue fleck.

fish with weightless soft plastics around cover and in water that is one to six feet deep--in spawning areas.

focus your efforts in cover such as grass, stumps, and lay-downs.
