Texas rig

The method of securing a hook to a soft-plastic bait, such as a worm, lizard, crawfish, so that the hook is weedless. A bullet-shaped slip sinker is threaded onto the line and then a hook is tied to the end of the line. The hook is then inserted into the head of a worm for about one-quarter of an inch and brought through until only the eye is still embedded in the worm. The hook is then rotated and the point is embedded slightly into the worm without coming out the opposite side.
