Double Texas Rig Is Here People. 2025


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Its a weed, its a fish, no. Its a DOUBLE TEXAS RIG! ;)

Today while organizing my tackle box as i do about every week out of boredom, i drifted off into a gaze about working TWO texas rigs at once.

So i went to work. Lots of trial and error, but finally i have succeded! ;D

note: If anyone else has thought of this before me, i didn't know, but if nobody has, I'm taking full credit!!!!.

Step 1: Thread bullet weight onto main line.

Step 2: Tie on your EWG worm hook with the Uni knot making sure to leave an extra long tag.

Step 3: Thread second bullet weight onto the tag end of your uni knot.

Step 4: Put your second EWG worm hook onto the tag of the line and tie with your knot of choice.

Step 5: Go out and catch some HAWGS! ;D

fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

Look up tandem fluke rigs....same idea.  I usaed to use 3-way swivels, but after breaking off, I rig the second bait to a swivel that slides up the line.  This allows better movement of the bait, and with two fish on, the stronger one can get line, instead of pulling agains the other fish.


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

So not as new as i suspected... I still feel proud of myself!(:


fishing user avatarairborne_angler reply : 

But,does your tandem t-rig catch fish? Seems like a troublesome setup to throw,sorta like a C-rig.


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Actually i feild tested it today for about half hour and pulled up three fish, at about 2 to 3 lbs. It seemed that they always went for the first one, never the second. But i only have limited experience with it. Maybe its a thing in their head were if the see a creature chasing another creature, they want the creature being chased more? Maybe its instinctive? :-?

By the way i was using two watermelon chart Zoom! worms


fishing user avatarflorida strain reply : 

next time try a bullet on the first rig and on the other leave it weightless like a trailing c-rig

I like that idea!

Maybe the second one be a floating worm? or a rapala! haha


fishing user avatarboneil reply : 

I like the idea and will try this weekend


fishing user avatarBoogey Man reply : 

In a magazine a few years ago I saw a double T-Rig. You ran your line throught the sinker, then tied to a split ring. Then put 2 worm hooks on the split ring. Never tried it myself, though.

there is a rig like that, i saw it in an old infisherman magazine, it was for smallmouths, it was like a carolina or something that with the rapala on the end, never tried it though


fishing user avatarBassin_Fin@tic reply : 

Don't ever try a double wacky rig,especially not with two different colored or sized baits. :-X


fishing user avatarNBR reply : 

Be sure tocheck you state regulations. It may be illegal in some places.


fishing user avatarBig Tom reply : 

Its a neat idea for working barren bottoms.  Maybe an alternative to a Carolina rig.  Most times that I am using a Texas rig, I am throwing it into some gnarly junk.  This probably wouldn't be a good idea there.


fishing user avatarLilJakeC1 reply : 

That looks like it would be killer when dragging worms on the bottem. It would suck fishing it in real heavy cover though.

Very good point!! In my state its legal to only have up to 2 hooks on 1 line. A 2 pole stamp is also available


fishing user avatarMMan16 reply : 

I was looking through my BPS catalog last nite. They have a double set-up but its two hardbaits. I can't remember exactly what it was but it was something like a crank then line trailing to a rat-l-trap. Again not sure on the hard baits. Looked interesting. Kind of like your own shad school.

the second weight takes the action away from the first worm. i dont think this would work.

Actually, it doesnt take away any action, it just presents it with a different action, which is different than the status Quo action we are used to seeing in a T-Rig. ;D


fishing user avatarHinkle2891 reply : 

my good sir,this rig looks SUPURB! i'm going to rig this up when i get home.


fishing user avatarjbsoonerfan reply : 

I will bring back a 9 year old thread, I don't care. :D

 

So while using Google I searched "double texas rig bassresource" and it brought me this little nugget. I was thinking about trying this as a technique and wanted more information. Does anyone use a form of this. I was thinking of doing my weight, then hook and using a creature bait and leaving a long tag end and doing a hook and wacky rigging a z man floating worm on it.


fishing user avatarMIbassyaker reply : 

I like the idea mentioned above of leaving the second bait unweighted -- you could potentially achieve two different fall rates at the same time, and it may be good for working a t-rig through an area (as opposed to target-casting).


fishing user avatarCroakHunter reply : 

I seen someone use a "twig and jig" they would wacky rig a stick bait, leave a long tage end, tie on a jig, then it becomes a drop shot. Never tried it myself. 


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Anytime I try a double bait rig, all it ever allows me to do is lose baits twice as fast. 


fishing user avatarItsHardwick reply : 

I fished a double fluke rig last year with some success. That’s with a swivel slid on the main line before tying the hook on. It works pretty good. I could see a version of this working maybe slide the swivel on, then peg a weight above the hook on the main line. You’d have a pegged Texas rig with that bait on the swivel and leader kinda just following it around weightless almost like a cross between a dropshot and a Carolina rig. At least that’s how I see it in my head lol. 


fishing user avatarBigAngus752 reply : 

It's not an old thread to me if I haven't seen it!  I say bring 'em back!

 

I'm trying @J Francho sliding rig this week when I go out.  That sounds pretty neat.  I can not catch twice as many fish with it.

You sure? This member was in elementary school when he wrote it, I think he graduated college...:lol:

 

Actually, I don't remember this thread TBH...:lol:

You could use two weightless Trick Worms for that. But that would be a variation on the double fluke rig. Just realized I replied to an old, OLD post. LOL

When I tried the double fluke the first time

It became the personal best at that lake until I broke it last year with 6.9lbs.
