If your fishing a texas rig do you peg the weight?

Do you think pegging keeps it from hanging up more?

Yes. I peg the weight every time I fish a Texas rig.

Thanks middle man.

Darn spell check.....midloman

there,s always a middle man

+1 Me too... every time.

Pegging the weight definitely helps you stay in contact with the bait. In heavy cover the weight and worm can easily separate and cause you to lose feel. If your weight is down the line on one side of a limb and the worm is on the other side it could prevent you from feeling a bite. Peg it.

I've been a Texas rig first guy for 39 years.....never pegged a sinker in my life......

And FYI.... I wack the stink off them on piles with a T rig drop shot where the weight is 12" from the bait.....1/4 ounce skinny tungsten...

T Rig I get. Drop shot 12" with a 1/4oz skinny tungsten i get. T-rig Dropshot? can you elaborate on this rig?

Hook is an offset owner 1/0.....I T rig my zoom finess worms....

I think he means the hook is "Texas Rigged" versus nose-hooked.

Got it. yeah. a weedless, snag resistant, dropshot rig.

There's no such thing as a T-rigged drop shot. You are describing a drop shot that's rigged weedless instead of nose hooked. Drop shots have nothing to do with the posters question on pegging the bullet weight on T-rigs while fishing brush piles. Your drop shot weight that's 12" from the bait is also irrelevant to pegging the bullet weight on a T-rig to prevent the weight from sliding up the line. Different techniques with different pros and cons.

Always peg it.
