>>826592I thought a Texas rig pretty much implies the weight. Otherwise it would just be a weedless-rigged worm or whatever.
On a rare occaision I will rub a lizard with no weight and run it over heavy weed cover. Pretty much same as running a hollow body frog. But i never seem to get big bass in those weeds, always smaller 10"-14" guys. The bigger ones will be over the drop-offs just past these weed beds and I run deep to get them.
