    Pegging weights on Texas rig

    How many of you guys peg your weights on a Texas rig? I have never really done it and wondering when it is good to use and not good to use. I was told about in to a new product that is a new way to peg your wieghts. The weight has a wire on it that connects to your hook. Just wondering if anybody has used anything like this and what they think......

    Re: Pegging weights on Texas rig

    I peg mine when pitching or flipping, especially in grass...I want the sinker and worm to be one solid lure and not let the sinker possible get ahead of the worm or grub. If it does it has a chance of spooking the fish I might catch on the initail fall of the lure....

    So what do you use to peg your weights?? do you use the rubber pegs or toothpicks? or is there some other way? I ask because with these weights i bought you dont have to use any thing to peg your weight to bait, but they are no good if you want to peg it up your line.

    I absolutely love the bullet weights that screw into the nose of your bait! They even make them with a rattle to give you a little more noise. I got hooked on using them three years ago and have always used them since.

    I really like the rubber peg-it's when using tubes or any bait that has the hollow body. I like the screw in type for solid nosed plastics.

    Try using the rubber slip bobber stops. They work real well you can even adjust by using two of them one above and one below.

    I am a cheapy I use toothpicks like the other guys mainly for flippin especially if in bush's with alot of limbs. I dont care for those little pieces of wire rubbing on my line especially the knot.

    Check out the Parasite Weights at www.fishinfanatic.com. These are what I bought and tried them out the other day. Gotta say that I think they are a good deal. Anybody else used these before?
