Texas rig tip

<div>
</div><div>So I love texas rigging brush hogs but I get pretty annoyed that the head of the bait constantly slips down the hook especially when skipping under things. </div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: proxima_nova_rgregular; font-size: 16px">To combat this problem, you can actually use a toothpick to keep the head of your bait connected firmly to the hook.</span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: proxima_nova_rgregular; font-size: 16px">Here’s how you do it.</span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: proxima_nova_rgregular; font-size: 16px">Rig your Texas rig like you normally would. Slide the head of your soft plastic over the eye of the hook, covering it completely. Insert a toothpick into the head of your soft plastic, through the hook eye and out the other side of the soft plastic. Trim both ends of the toothpick so they’re completely concealed by the soft plastic. Save the remainder of the toothpick so you can repeat the process the next time you re-rig.</span></p>

If you guys do it any other ways or have any other tips, please chime in!</p>

I got tired of the same thing happening. I started using the Owner hooks with the twist locks. Love them!

A dab of super glue works as well. I keep some on hand always. Keeps my baits from slipping, getting damaged, so they last a little longer.

Try a Flat tooth pic. They wedge into the round hook eye tighter and won't slip out.
