It is very simple. I use this technique for my Producto lures. 12 Fathom is being absorbed by the parent company, Producto.
Weedless possible with the right tail. A bullet sinker is the weight. I used this rig for snook and very shallow redfish succProducts. Lures can be rigged with the hook exposed.
Your hook choice is your own. I am going to use a quality 2/0. Poke the hook through the plastic and rid the lure straight.
Make casts and you will have success with a straight retrieve. SlamR and Buzz Tail are pictured. The mullet use a standard weedless. The paddle tail is not the ideal plastic to Texas rig. It will work with a paddle tail but the hook is not adequately exposed.
I heard about Texas rigging long before I did it. Bass fishermen have used this system for a long time.
An alternative to a jighead, this is an excellent option.
