Texas rigging is a common rig for lure fishing, especially if you need to present a weedless / snagless offering, via an offset hook. An offset hook is most often a wide gape hook with a kink in the shank, near the eye.
Notes
Cultiva JH-83 Mebaru Bullet Jig Head
My number one favourite jig head for thin fake baits like Isome, Gulp and Ecogear Aqua is the Cultiva JH-83 Mebaru Bullet.
Cheb Rig For LRF
I’m no real fan of the Cheb rig but it does offer the LRF angler a solution to the challenge of fishing small hooks with heavier weights, in a style close to Jighead.
Nose Hook Dropshot Rig
The Dropshot rig is one of the most popular rigs for LRF and ultralight lure fishing. My preferred dropshot rig is as basic as it comes. I use the standard Palomar knot with either a drop-shot type hook or a long-shank, Aberdeen style, depending on what lure I’m intending to use.
HTO Tic Tac Metal Jigs
The new HTO Tic Tac metal jigs are finally in the shops. Excited to use them this coming year after lockdown curtailed the testing period. I had a few prototypes which proved to be great. Love the finish and dare I say, the quality of assist hooks is the best we’ve ever had at HTO.
Shimano Soare CI4+ 500S
When I travelled to Osaka, Japan in 2018 I wanted a ‘souvenir’ that reminded me of the trip. This is it – the super small Shimano Soare CI4+ 500S!
Studio Ocean Mark No Limits Custom Spools & Handles
As you can see, I’ve become a bit of a fan of the Studio Ocean Mark No Limit spools.
Daiwa Certate LTD 2004 White
Here’s a beautiful and rare spinning reel that I feel lucky to own. The Certate LTD 2004 is a limited edition 2010 Certate. What sets it apart from the standard Certate 10 is the custom, white reel body, white Zaion knob and black metal parts.
