Texas Rig

Ball Jig Head

Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
Best for
Walleye, smallmouth, and largemouth when you want a swimbait that fishes clean but still gets noticed.
Style
Quick-start tail with a steady thump—ribs add water movement without needing a fast retrieve.
Where it shines
Weed edges, shallow flats, rock transitions, and current seams—anywhere fish are hunting small baitfish.
Ripswim rule: if you can feel the tail, you’re doing it right. Keep it just ticking cover or just off bottom and let that steady pulse call fish in.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Three simple approaches that cover a lot of water.
Jig & Glide
Cast, count it down, and keep it tracking in the strike lane.
- Rig on a light ball head and thread it straight so the tail runs true.
- Swim it slow, then “kill” it for a second so it drops and re-starts.
- Let it tick rock or grass occasionally—contact makes it look alive.
Bottom-Stroll & Lift
Slow-roll it like a minnow that can’t help but bump bottom.
- Keep the rod low and crawl it until you feel bottom, then lift a foot.
- On the lift, the tail flutters; on the fall, the ribs keep it breathing.
- When you hit a hard spot or rock, pause—strikes often happen right there.
Current-Seam Swing
Use moving water: your job is holding the right tension.
- Cast slightly up-current and let it pendulum through the seam.
- Maintain light pressure so the tail keeps pulsing as it swings.
- At the end of the drift, pause it and let it hover—fish often crack it on the stall.
