Thread: Texas Rig For Bluegill?

Not sure about Texas rig, but a Carolina rig is a great search method for probing large areas with relatively clean bottoms. I generally prefer bobber fishing in shallow water and drop shotting in deeper water (I just use a heavy split shot for the weight). I have had good luck finding and catching brim by dragging live bait on the bottom behind a slip sinker Carolina rig style. I bet a small grub or twister tail, or perhaps a fly, would work good that way. Not so sure about having the bait right up against the weight though, I haven't tried that.
