Best Texas Rig Rod

Ohio Angler reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "The weather really pushed the bass to cover. The only way to get bit was multiple pitches to a piece of structure. Usually, the 2nd or 3rd pitch would get the fish to eat the bait. We threw everything at them and the only thing they would eat was the Yamtanuki. It's a heavy salt bait that has a very subtle action. We rigged these Texas-style with a 5/0 EWG hook. We were able to take 2nd place with this bait and technique."

petespratte_fishing reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Dobyns Rods Fury Casting Rods on Pool 4 Sloughs at Pepin. Additional comments from this report: "For whatever reason today I caught every single fish out of eel grass… not normally the case, but was just pitching a craw tube around in and out of the weed edge. Couldn’t get but in milfoil or coontail, all the fish came out of the eel grass, try to focus time on the outside weed edge with access to deeper nearby water! "

Matthew Mattingly reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) technique and Shimano Expride B Casting Rods on Cedar Creek Lake.

When the water hit 60 degrees, I put the trolling motor on high and searched every pocket and creek arm seeing hundreds on fish on the bed. Backing off the best and pitching a Big Bites Bait Fighting frog was the most productive. Each fish is different but most ended up taking it after working on them. "
