How do you peg a t-rigged bait?

[spoon33]

Keep reading about how people use a pegged T-rig with a toothpick, but wasn't sure how you actually did it.  Also, when do you use this method and what are some of the pluses and minuses of this method.

Bobber stops are cheap and the most effective thing I've found. Also they don't weaken your line.  8-)

I would also like to know the reason for pegging?

To peg with a toothpick you just let the weight slide down to the worm then stick a toothpick into the open hole on the weight and push it in a little bit then break it off. The reason for pegging weights is so the sinker doesnt slide way ahead of the worm and get snagged somewhere or lessen the sensitivity of the rig. Most people prefer to peg their weights in weeds, rocks basically anywhere but there are times where people prefer to not peg their weights but it's just a personal thing

I peg my weight when I am flipping and pitching in heavy weeds. Pegging keeps the bait attached to the weight to get down through the thick cover.

To peg a weightless rig, visualize where the eye of the hook is within the worm (or whatever) after it's rigged. Then insert a toothpick through the head of the bait, through the eye of the hook and out the other side of the bait. Then cut the toothpick flush. This keeps the bait from sliding down the hook.

To peg a weighted rig, insert the toothpick through the hole in the weight at the desired spot, either right at the head of the bait or any distance down the line. This keeps the weight from sliding on your line. Different techniques call for different weight placement.

Parasite Weights and clips. They stay snug on your hook to give you the best presentation.

Many times when your fishing cover you want the lure and weight to work through the cover as one unit. Sometimes when you don't peg the lure the bait might be hung on something while your weight is on the bottom. I don't use a toothpick unless I ran out of stuff to peg it because you stand a chance of pinching your line and weakening it. I use a needle threader and thread a rubber band to peg the sinker or a rattling Florida rig weight. If you leave a tag piece on the back side of the weight you can remove the rubber band easily with pliers.
