Best Texas Rig Reel

Erik Peterson reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel on Lake of the Isles. Additional comments from this report: "Had a tournament on the chain of lakes on 7-25. Isles produced a lot of smaller fish in the 14"-15" range. The winning bag came from Cedar. Key techniques for the anglers were flipping matted grass or using Texas rigged baits for the shallow fish. Fishing the deep weedlines with drops shots or deep cranks are what produced the bigger fish and the top bags. Recreational traffic on the lakes was heavy starting around 10:00 am."

SnowtaBass reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel on Lake Minnetonka. Additional comments from this report: "Minnetonka can have vast amounts of submerged vegetation through out the lake. In the summer months the fish can be schooled up underneath the deeper tall milfoil. Pitch a Texas rigged soft plastic into the various milfoil patches. Let the bait hit bottom and twitch it a bit and you will know shortly if they are there. It can take time locating them but when you do it can be a massive school. Cover as much ground as you can and you should be able to find a good quality bite. If you can locate hard bottom within the vegetation it is usually a plus. "

Erik Gaffron reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 Casting Reel on Lake Waconia. Additional comments from this report: "Coontail and Milfoil Rule the game on this lake for the most part from early to late summer. Targeting patchy and matted vegetation with a Texas rig weedless craw tube, creature bait or your favorite flipping bait is a consistent way to catch both numbers and size. I rig my Texas rig with a 3/8 to 5/8s bullet weight, a VMC Ringed HD wide gap hook sized to my lure of choice (most often 4/0). Additionally don't sleep on the deep off shore rock piles and sand patches scattered throughout the lake."

Bemidji State Fishing Team reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitch Flip Casting Reel on Upper Mission Lake.

If you slow down and really pick apart the key areas like points or thick reed clumps you will find success. "

Cody Greene reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitch Flip Casting Reel on Pool 8 Mississippi River. Additional comments from this report: "Flipping a sweet beaver to the undercut banks in goose island produced well. Found lots of big largemouths. Finding some sort of structure near the banks was a big plus when getting into the 3lb+ bass"

Sawyer Schugel reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Lew's Speed Spool LFS Casting Reel on Lake Waconia. Additional comments from this report: "Docks were holding plenty of fish, including a couple bigs. Fish were tucked up pretty far underneath, so skipping the rage craw up under there was the way to go. Shallower docks seemed to hold the better fish. Even with the water in the mid 70s, it seems that this cold front has started the fall transition."
