Curious to see what y’all like more if you could only throw one. The Texas rig just has not been doing it for me lately and the jig has been shining. If you could only use one which one is it and why.

If could only throw 1, T-Rig because I catch more fish. Jig catches bigger fish, but I'm more of a numbers guy. I just enjoy catching numbers more than fishing for hours trying to catch a big.

Throw the one you have confidence in

It has been my experience that on any given day/night one will out-fish the other...so I go out with both tied on.

In most cases the T-Rig will put more numbers in the boat.

But I have seen a few instances where I was catching a fish in nearly every bush on a jig and buddy in the back was struggling with a T-Rig Crawfish, Worm, and Brush Hogs. I was catching 2-3 to his 1.

After I stuck a 6# and lost a 4# at the boat, he said give me a jig. We then both started catching equally.


For a long time I struggled to get bit on a jig and would hang up way to often. Now its a confidence lure for me.

T-Rig personally because I believe it is more versatile what you can throw with it.

I'm a big fan of the rubber bobber stopper, tungsten weight, punch skirt and hook. You have the added bulk of the skirt like a jig but the weedless qualities of a T-rig. Plus there are countless colors of punch skirts on the market. I like these a lot. This setup is also much more snag-resistant than a jig of the same weight.

What can you put on a t-rig that you cant put on a jig?

A fluke would be one.

I see what you're saying, but a fluke on a 1/4 ball head jig can be great.
16 inch worm would be silly on a skirted jig because the hook probably wouldn't be long enough; but who knows, it might catch a huge bass that's never seen that presentation before.

Have you fished a jig with a fluke as a trailer?

Jig. I catch bigger fish and I’m not usually interested in lots of little fish. Texas rigs catch lots of fish, but they’re not usually as big as the ones I stick on jigs.

Only one... Jig every time

But sometimes one gets bit better

I have always been a bit confused by the “confidence” theory! Are these fish looking up at you slump shouldered and not biting because you aren’t bouncing your pecs? Anyone that’s ever thrown a new lure, or altered a bait to be creative can’t be overflowing with confidence. If confidence is what caught fish we would all have a deck covered in rods with beetle spins tied on


60% of the time, it works every time!

Fish appreciate confidence and good looks, along with a great sense of humor and plenty of $$ to flash around and spend on pricey boats and equipment. That’s why guys using $400 rods catch sooooo many more fish than us stubble bums using cheap-o $40 poles. Fish are gold diggers and vain.

My $400 rods don't help me catch more fish but they darn sure make me look better trying.
