depends on where you are...time & place...can assure you here in the great state of Mississippi out on the farm ponds and state fishing lakes and other remote areas the t-rigged plastic worm is alive and well...

 

good fishing...

Same here in Florida it's mandatory ?

I'll always carry, and fish with t- rig plastic worms.I use other baits too, and other soft plastics. But the plastic worm is my go to confidence bass catcher most of the year. It will never go out of style. It works

I also love learning about the history of this sport. So for me, it's like this: the next time you land a bass on ANY soft plastic bait, give a quick nod of thanks to Mr. Nick Creme and his wife Cosma Creme, along with a thinking fisherman from Texas, who thought to turn his hook around, embed it in the worm, creating the Texas Rig. Possibly the single, biggest lure innovation of the century. Yep. The century

from northern Minnesota natural lakes, Iowa farm ponds, and Missouri and Kansas reservoirs, the Texas rigged worm has caught me more quality bass than all other baits combined.

You can often catch more fish on other baits when bass are active, but day in and day out, the Texas rig is hard to beat.

I once caught a 6 fish   15 inch limit on six cast , so it makes me chuckle when people say texas rig fishing is too slow .

A few years back, I only thrown Texas rig (weighted) only a handful of time, Dropshot alway get first priority. This year thing turn around if I don't throw Fluke then Texas rig would be my 2nd choice.

Probably 80percent of the fish I got this year was on a fluke weightless the rest were mostly rage menace, Ned rigs, stickbaits and miscellaneous crankbaits.

I been throwing the split shot rig from the early 70’s. Creme 6” black worms.

 

but using a weighted head, a worm rattle, a culprit 10” or 12” black Shad worm surely can change your success.  Sorry for being old school.
