The “Texas Rigged” plastic worm is the most popular way to fish a plastic worm. It is weedless and can be fished anywhere. You can change the size of the worm, and size of the weight for a variety of different fishing conditions. The Texas rigged worm is truly the ultimate method for catching lots of bass. Below is a detailed step by step instruction for the Texas Worm Rig.

2. Insert your line through the bullet weight, pointed end first, tie the worm hook to your line with your favorite fishing knot.
3. Insert the point of the hook straight into the top end of the worm, insert the hook slightly past the barb of the hook, approximately ¼ of an inch. Note: If you are using a curly tail worm, line the hook up with the curl of the tail. This will eliminate line and worm twist.

5. Slide the worm up the shank of the hook; twist the hook as you slide the worm so that the point of the hook is facing the side of the worm. Slide the worm so that the eye of the hook will be imbedded into the head of the worm.
