If I had to choose one fishing lure to use to fish for bass for the rest of my fishing days, I would choose a Texas rigged plastic worm. Hands down, without hesitation. I love fishing lures of all kinds, but a Texas rig is still the best bass lure of all time, bar none. In over 35yrs of fishing it's landed me more fish, than all other lures I've tried. I use other baits too of course, but I've known successful bass anglers who used little more than a simple Texas rig, and did very well. The reasons for its effectiveness have been well talked about for years, but maybe Doug Hannon( the bass professor) summed it up the best." The action of a plastic worm is never mechanical. With each lift or shake of the rod tip it can do something slightly different which mimics natural prey. It can slither and slide over, beside, and through cover better than most any fishing lure you can use". This makes the Texas rig worm the king of bass lures.Its been the best for me. The tap- tap sensation of a bass striking a plastic worm is one of the most exciting things in fishing. Any thoughts? Comments? l love plastic worm.fishing.
