[quote=SwimbaitRanger]A free rig falls more vertically because of the ring in the weight. A Texas rig will glide further on a drag or hop because more of the line is inside the weight. The free rig has been my MVP this year since I first picked it up. Excels around vertical cover and pressured fish.
Sure it does[/quote
To your point it’s similar, I won’t deny that but the guy was standing directly over his tank jigging the two lures. I think it would have been a better test if he had made a cast into a pool and put some distance on it. Kind of like vertically fishing a drop shot vs casting a drop shot
