I have my most confidence in the Texas rig as well. 6# test and normally throw a 1/16 oz weight, but if the water is running or my soft plastic is lackin on a lil weight i will jump up to an 1/8. i use #2 (not 2/0) gam offset shank worm hooks religiously when t-riggin. Fish smallie beavers, 4" lizards, and finesse worms. i guess my style might be considered a little on the light side, but it sure catches a lot of fish.
