Mitch f Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 What’s your favorite method of rigging plastics and why? I’m constantly torn between these 2 methods... they both have their pros and cons. timinmo 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I don’t really have a favorite. I use TX, TX skin, open hook/ w weedguard, and open hook/ wo weedguard depending on cover and bottom. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timinmo Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I normally use an EWG hook and Texpose, but I have noticed several pros going to the straight shanked hook with keeper. Get some sleep. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsfolly Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Like @timinmo I use EWG hooks. I do tuck the the hook tip into the plastic. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'm also a tucker. And have been called something else that rhymes with that. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I use the EWG for C-rigs and T-rigs, but lately I have been using screw locks a lot to try and avoid the plastic pulled down to the hook bend situation on a bite. I do rig as shown in pic #1 on finesse worms. Johnsfolly and Mitch f 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish24/7 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 For me depends on the thickness of the plastic. The thicker bulky finesse baits I texspose. Like tubes for ex. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The last time out I nose hooked one with a Gami finesse wide gap weed less #2. Killer jig action. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Some shakey heads and such don't have the right angle for texposing. If they don't then I rip the plastic (so the hook point can easily come out) and bury it. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
