- Bass Fishing most used rig. It has probably caught more bass than any other fishing rig. I love fishing the Texas Rig. It can catch largemouth bass anytime and anywhere. This is the perfect rig for beginner bass fishing.

I wanna thank you Gene, I started my bass fishing journey learning from your channel. Years later, studying your videos I’ve caught several bass to be proud of, even brought my daughter along (8 at the time) once who caught a 4 lber on a spinner bait. Much is due to your lessons, thank you so much!
Is that biospawn?
Exo stik
yes
You seem so nice, patient and easy to understand which makes you a great teacher! I grew up fishing but my dad always rigged my poles for me. He has been gone 8 years this June and this is the first spring I have really got back out on the water since he passed and have been teaching myself through youtube on how to knot my line to what to use for what I want to fish for and if it wasn't for videos like these I would have just given up.
So just wanted to say thank you, not only are you helping me get back out there but you are helping me feel close to my dad again by reeling in some big fish! I appreciate it more than you would know!
Min Offield Sorry for your loss! God bless you!
Fishing makes everything better. I hope fishing brings back those great memories you had.
The videos are very helpful, I was taught the very basics of fishing,. we didn't have UA-cam when I was coming along. I just got bits and pieces of information from other people who had be fishing a long time.
👍
God Bless
I never had a Father figure in my life and Im glad your channel is here to teach me about fishing. Now that I'm 25 years old when I one day have a child, I will pass on your wisdom. Thank you.
Awesome man and have fun with it. I love watching my kids figure things out.
Shut up and take the trash out
Sorry couldn’t help myself. I love you son, so does Jesus. Now grab me a beer 😘
Just retired and haven’t fished since I was a kid. using ur video I catch my first 24 inch northern pike after a week of fishing so thanks 🙂🙂
Good stuff
My dad always taught me to fish the spots that look “fishy”
That's exactly what my dad says
Thanks mr obvious
Like the Bar at night 🤣🤣
Your dad deserves a raise
Underrated commit lmaoo
I watched this video yesterday, bought the tackle after work and hooked the bass that evening. Great job on the videos!

No matter how long you've been fishing there's always some new tip, or trick to learn from someone. That's one of the many reasons fishing is absolutely amazing. What a great and informative video. Thank you, and good luck out there everyone.
I’ve been fishing ever since I was a kid but never really learned different rigs or techniques. You’re very patient and easy to understand when you explain the set up and how to use the rig. Really enjoy your videos and I actually used a Texas rig today using methods I learned from you. Started off fishing those points like you mentioned and utilized the fan casting techniques. I was only out for maybe an hour and a half and had two bites. Lost the first one because he jumped and I didn’t get the hook set so he got loose second one I got a good hook set and was able to land him. Just a small little 2 lb large mouth but for a guy that’s used to getting skunked I couldn’t be happier. Turned him lose in hopes of a bigger catch on my next outing. I absolutely feel like it wouldn’t have happened without your tips and guidance. Thanks so much for the information!
This channel is the Athlean-X of fishing. This is the detail I needed. Thank you-
USING A THIS WORM KILLS UR GAINS
Except no controversy
There is allot of videos out there. This video was well demonstrated for a new fisherman such as myself.
a red plastic bead behind the bullet weight is great too. That clicking noise you helps add a little noise in murky water. I have gotten tons of hits in lily pads letting the worm or plastic frog sit there for a moment then a slight flick on the rod tip to get that minor click to get that hit.
I do the same. You can even use a glowing bead to attract fish in murky water or low light. And the bead prevents the weight from constantly hitting the knot and tearing it.
Learning to be a better bass fisher woman & your videos are so detailed and very helpful! Thank you!
Fluke Master is one of my favorite UA-cam channels to watch, keep those videos coming. I hooked a Bass the first time I fished a Texas rig and have been hooked on Bass fishing ever since. I landed my first Bass on a Bass jig dragging it by an old 🌲 stump that was partially submerged. It weighed about four pounds.
Honestly, I can not thank you enough for this video. After 5 straight days of nothing, I went out today and tried out the Texas Rig. Finally caught a Largemouth Bass. Only 3 pounds but still. Finally caught one. Thank You!
Only 3 lbs? Ha in Illinois that's a good catch
3 lbs is a solid catch, congrats man!
I agree that punching it in when the frog isn’t drawing strikes is a killer tip. Good stuff!
Enjoy seeing these remakes, camera quality is over the roof since the first Texas rig video.
Definitely some good footage of the beard.
OH MY GOD! I am new to real fishing. I was he kind of kid that would go into a sports store and buy whatever looked cool and knew nothing about soft plastics but as I am getting into this kind of real fishing his explanation on soft plastic colors was possibly the greatest explanation I have heard! I have scoured the interwebs looking for a good explanation but he gave it in less than thirty second
You are my absolute favorite bass fisherman to watch and learn from. Thank you Gene.
I really enjoy your videos..I came to the US from England and have many years of course fishing experience. I'm enjoying learning new techniques to bass fish and these are really useful. Tight lines!
As a bank fisherman, T-rig is life for me! I can fish it fast near the surface when they fish are hot, or low and slow when they are not. Without changing hooks I can swap between curly tails, stick baits, creatures, craws, or whatever!
The slow rolling, out of focus background of the trees and the woods is the best.
That was the biggest piece of crap camera I have ever bought and it was 800 bucks.
I will never buy another Canon
@@Flukemaster sheesh, actually wild how far cameras have come. But I wasn't dogging on the quality, I genuinely like the out of focus forest background, with you in focus it's almost like the world is moving and you're not
Thanks man. I know you weren't dogging it. The in and out fade just bigs the crap out of me. If it wasn't for that it would be one of my only "perfect" videos.
Thanks for sharing that knowledge. I used to fish with my dad when I was younger 8-9 yr. Now that I'm older and I see my brother fish. I want to try my hand at this again lol.
Just teaching myself to freshwater fish... have two young boys and want to get them into it early. You have some of the best instruction videos on UA-cam! I love that you teach slowly as though we don't know anything yet, because I don't! Thanks for the videos!
4 years later and I've learned quite a bit from this video! Great energy, good content.
Thanks Vijay.
This video is a perfect example of why I like your channel, Gene. First off, you illustrate a "how to" on a good basic rig, then you post it without catching a fish. In this case, anybody who actually fishes knows this is a great rig, so the actual landing is not a big deal for the show. The unedited nose scratching was a bonus, too. :) Excellent work.
After watching this video I went out this morning and used a Texas rig with a June bug worm and caught two bass! Thanks for the awesome information and easy to understand teaching style.
That is awesome!
Really digging the quality of the camera. Picture quality is something else. Good video Gene. One of my favorite things about your channel is your videos isnt just full of ripping lips. It shows the realities we all have as fishermen and the truth for most days of fishing isnt just pulling fish in one after another. Keep up the good work brother. Tight Lines!
Bill Dance does it everytime he goes out on the water!
Id rather watch this guy for tips than anyone else!
Great update to the Texas Rig vid. I'd love to see new versions of some of your instructionals, particularly the Carolina Rig. Thanks again for a great channel.
I really needed this video today. I had a frustrating day fishing. I posted up by a bush in my kayak, a bass bit my senko in half twice, I switched to a smaller bait hoping to get the hook in it's mouth better and it didn't bite again. Switched back to a senko and still nothing. Went home empty handed.
It's actually reassuring to see a pro have a similar outcome.
I really enjoy your videos Fluke. Thank you for staying true to what matters...fishing! I've learned so much from ya and am passing the knowledge on to my son. Priceless
I really appreciate you for this video, i like how you are teaching us and not just cutting away to catching fish every video, thank you, these vidoes are rare and i've subbed.
ur one of these best "informative teachers" on youtube, and I appreciate that a ton!! thankyou Gene
I use a Texas rig on a Green Pumpkin Senko and a Green Pumpkin Salamander. Just slays Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth both! SHAWN
I feel like such an idiot, all the time I've tied my improved clinch knot. I've always spun the line...seeing you spin the hook literally just changed my life haha.
nice video, I used your tips to get a 6 lber today
Awesome Lucas, Congratulations.
thanks
Nice, I went to a lake for 3 hours and got nothing using Texas rig so I’m watching this video to find out what I did wrong
@@tcm24fan sometimes we just get skunked! me too I fished for 2 hours one day then for 2 the next day. and nothing😣back to the drawing board for me.
@@VictoriaEXx that's why I always take a rod and hooks/bait for panfish, so even on days I catch nothing good, I atleast catch something.
Glad to see you at the FLW cup! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me see you at the next one!
Thanks man.
Great point about it being for fishing a 'spot' and not an area or zone. That's where the vast majority of my Texas rig bites come, when I cast/drop it in the right spot in or around cover. Sometimes I'll get a surprise bite when I'm reeling back in, as if it were a swim jig. It makes the long-cast bites that much more rewarding, because it's like you hit a 60-yard field goal or sunk a long hole-in-one.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been learning to fish here in the Midwest. A lot different than fishing on the Pacific Ocean.
Been watching for several months now. *Love* the instructional format!
Yo fluke , just got my fishing shirt of the month ( first month ) shirt .. I can't believe how nice this shirt is for 10$... Trust me when I tell u if this shirt was $20 it would still be great deal ... Super great deal thanks fluke !!!! My wife wants one now ...lol and she don't even fish ...!!!
I appreciate your videos. I use to fish with my grandfather as a kid, but after he passed away I stopped fishing. I’m older now looking to get back into it. Thank you for your guidance.
Thank you for your time Gene. As with all fishing, it's all about what one likes, works for the person and the info a fisher is happy to share.
Cheers Gaz
i caught my first fish today 40 mins after watching this. thank you very much. hooked for life on fishing now
That is awesome!
What a great, informative video even though you didn't catch a fish. I re-learned a lot.
Gene, great video. I have learned so much from you about rods, fish, and technique. I think it would be great if you made a video about techniques to use when you're getting short strikes, where the fish just won't commit.
Don't apologize for not catching anything, cause I'm sure others, myself included, have had a spell of dry fishing trips A bad day of fishing always trumps a good day at work anyway. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this rig because I needed some clarity on a few things and you answered my questions in the video. By the way, I think you've got the best intro out of all the fishing vloggers I've cane across!
Hoe about this one, I've went fishing for 4 hours per day for 10 days straight and haven't caught anything 🙃 I'm new to the game
thanks for all of your videos, considering I'm behind the game and just learning
Thanks Fluke. It's my favorite rig for summer
Cool
Nice tips mate, I will be trying this for the huge perch in our local lake .. Greetings from Lithuania
Great video and great explanations. You really break things down in an understandable way
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sir for all of your videos. I have taken up bass fishing seriously for the past four months now with great success. Sometimes I get surprises though. I caught this cat with a texas rigged black blue rage craw! Tight lines sir!
Gene, excellent videos man! I'm new to bass fishing and fishing in general, and every time I have a question about something, I go through video after video until I reach The Flukemaster and finally get the answer I was needing. I subscribed after hearing your interview on Ike Live podcast and realizing I should have subscribed a long time ago! Thanks for the help you have given me that I can pass on to my 3 year old when I take him fishing with me.
Hi Mate, awesome video, i learned so much, we dont tend to use Texas rigs here, and i dont know why, i intend to try then for our Seabass . Ive liked, subbed and watched your video, and i am looking forward to viewing more. From a fellow UA-cam vlogging angler from the 🇬🇧
Over the years I ended up pretty much just Texas rigging my worm but without a wait. In order to get it to cast good I buy a little bit thicker heavier plastic worm instead of a lighter one. This works so well along the bank and all kind of conditions, and the heavier worm will still allow your light fishing tackle to cast a pretty long ways using about a 6 lb test fluorocarbon . And for the spring spawn it is outstanding to do it like this., You can throw your worm a long way if you see fish nest Way off in the shallow and it allows you to drag and work your worm slow and easy without the weight wanting to stir up the dirt around the nest.. a lot of times during the spawn they will see it coming and hit it almost the same instant it hits the surface of the water. Really exciting stuff. Lol
Just keep the videos coming. I learn something new each time.
Love the specific examples that you bring up and walk through. Very clear and extremely in-depth. Thank you for providing the reasoning for what your doing and explaining it thoroughly. High quality info for any lesser-experienced anglers out there (my self included).
Thanks a lot for this video. I watched it last night because my friend and I were going out fishing today for smallmouth.
We are both new anglers and getting new gear and such. I was able to hook my line, teach my friend. I caught a 18" Smallmouth out of the lake today.
Awesome Video Gene. My dad taught me how to fish a Texas Rig, but i love how you go into so much detail on it.
thanks for the tips and I like how your descriptive about how to fish in different terrain.
Thank you sir! Nobody in my family knows or interested to fish. Just me. I learn a lot from your channel.
The Texas Rig Is Pretty Deadly, Thank U For The Teaching.
Been fishing a 50yd wide canal linked to a lake for a few months. Mostly top water since it's only 10ft at the center this year. Maybe one hit in 2hrs each time. Tried a texas rig with a yamamoto sinko. It was getting hit every 5min! Thanks for the vid!
I've been fishing since a I was a kid, but just started using texas rigged worms. They work! I'm consistantly catching more fish.
That's great, Congratulations
Great vids man. Just started getting into bass fishing more and all your videos helped me alot!
A Texas rigged trick worm or similar worm is my go to bait when all else fails. Never thought I'd have so much confidence in them! But I'm here trying to see what else I can try to learn to really master it.
Good stuff!
First and only rig I’ve ever had to use since learning soft plastics ... carried me on every bass fishing trip I’ve ever taken ... I always catch the most & biggest out of anyone lol ... and learned from yours truly’s old videos lol
Medium light action rod , 8 lb test , feather light weight lol ... works every time
Caught my 8 pounder in Tennessee on a motor oil zoom finesse worm w/ yellow tip just like this dipped in jj’s 😂
By the end of the trip everyone asking me for jj’s rofl
Awesome tutorial Gene! You just convinced me to try either a carolina or mojo rig in this dead heat when dragging a worm cause my texas rig bites are few and far between right now
Great stuff as always Gene. Texas rig is something I'm making a conscious effort to use more this year. Over the winter I bought a rod and reel specifically for texas rigs. I only allow myself to use texas rigs on it, and always take it with me. I can't believe it took me so long to get to this point, it's gotta be the greatest rig for the most number of conditions.
3:25 ok, you just blew my mind with the speed of that clinch knot.
I'm 70 years old and still learning! THANKS!!!!! - RUSTY
Thank you for a nice, clear explanation and a pleasant video to watch.
Thanks to your awesome videos, I've learned to use the Texas rig fishing for bass, and is my go-to setup when fishing! Keep up the awesome work!
A lot of good info. Thanks for taking the tome to make the video. Just started kayak fishing. Hopefully I can use all this info.
Thanks for Explaining in detail you cant always learn from watching especially Bass Fishing!
Nice video, thank you. My son and I fished a lake with fairly heavy weed cover yesterday.. pulled in some small one's, but I felt like there must be a better method (than what my father had taught me).. really enjoyed the video. Can't wait to return to the lake and try this out!
Thank you for the Texas rig info.....Really helpful......oh yeah just got my first shirt of the month....
Your videos are absolutely delightful and our fishing styles are almost identical. I have an opinion on fishing a Texas rigged 10 inch worm; 1/4 ounce black tungsten weight, pegged and my go-to color regardless of the water is GRAPE. A grape-colored worm is like an anomaly. I ran into the bass professor himself, Doug Hannah, in 1988 and he turned me on to it. Good stuff :)
I fish Muskie but it's tiring. I will use your Texas rig during the down times. Thanks for the easy explanation. Will let u know how I do in may.
Junebug is the absolute go-to muddy lake color. Pink/white works awesome in any color. lake could be pitch black and fish would still eat it lol.
You just answered my question. I didn't wait long enough. Thank you.
Would love to see you do a video on how to setup your reel for pitching/flipping
Thank you Brad. I've been sitting here trying to figure out a topic for today's video and this is it. Thanks again man.
I enjoyed the knowledge that you shared, we all know you were teaching us not bassin'. Thanks
Hey man!! Awesome video, i just started fishing, and i have been doing a lot of things wrong, just spent 5 hours going through your videos.. have learned a lot!! Thanks a lot!!
Yesterday i caught my 2nd biggest bass on a Texas rigged zoom bubblegum trick worm. First ever fist on a Texas rig, my go to is wacky rigged senkos and dingers.
great information gonna take this down to the lake tomorrow morning
love your educational videos they teach me a lot keep them coming
once again great info.. Thank you.
How would you fish a lake full of thick hydrilla?
Thanks for the video! Going fishing for the first time tomorrow and this was very helpful.
Great video Gene!! haven't been fishing in awhile this was a good refresher
Hey fluke, could you teach how to fish weightless Texas rigged plastics next? trick worms, senkos, nail weighting and all that?
I'll put it close to the top of the list. It's more of a fall technique around here.
+Flukemaster good video
Hey brother,
Two things please. FIrst of all...........Not to be to pedantic brother but what you call an offset round bend hook...........I was always told that was a Jig hook? Hum. The other thing........if I rig it the same and put a tungsten nail weight in the top instead of a bullet weight, wouldn't it still be a Texas rig? Whatever(LOL).....I turn 37 this month, I'll have grey whiskers in my beard soon. God bless. Ryan
Great vids Gene. Love your style and keep up the great work!
Caught my first 5lb bass today with the Texas rig thanks!
almost to 200k, keep it up Jean!
liked and subbed
Your dentist must love your biting off the line, lol. Thanks for all the great information.
Thank you sir for all of your videos.
Thank you for helping us out learn how to fish!
hey Fluke, when will you be at Clarks hill or the Augusta area again? me and a few of my friends would kill to meet up with you! love your videos!
I'm not sure
I've been following your videos for a while now and have learned a lot from it. I know you did a video on crappie fishing a while back. Will there be any future detailed videos on how to catch them throughout the different seasons.
Yep, I only fish for crappie in the winter when they are good to eat. In the summer their meat gets to mushy.
Gene.. Looks like you are at lake Weiss we need to get together. I fish there and chickamauga regularly.
