What is your LIGHT texas rig setup?
Re: What is your LIGHT texas rig setup?
DX703 w/ Curado 201e7 and 30# Samurai braid.
I have been throwing a lot of 3/16oz tungsten w/ 3/0 hook and a 4" chigger craw or YUM craw papi this season with the still-spawning behaviour of the bass. Been doing very well w/ this setup.

Just reconfigured my UL setup. 09AldebaranMG with a Avail50RR honeycomb spool, on a 13 Defy M F 6'7 rod, and 10lb Seaguar Senshi. That rig can cast a 1/4oz bait soo easily and smooth.

NRX 893 with a Core 50mg7 and 15# Tatsu. I throw mostly 3/16 tungsten wights with a small creature bait (beaver) or a small worm or tube.

Goldrod,
I have the Tat signature 7'M-MH Ehler with a Tatula 8.1 CT with 8lb Tatsu and love this for light trigs and weightless baits.

Re: What is your LIGHT texas rig setup?
I have done the same, pitching is no problem. I pitch more than cast. The reel setup is just as important as the rod.BlaineFred wrote:How does it work for pitching?cndbasshunter wrote:I've used down to 1/8 with my 893 no problem with Aldebaran.BlaineFred wrote:Wow....I am amazed that you can get the rig to work for you, especially wtih 15-lb line and a MH rod.johnnybassboat wrote:NRX 893 with a Core 50mg7 and 15# Tatsu.

Re: What is your LIGHT texas rig setup?
Okay....you guys convinced me to try it again with a baitcaster.
I will use a tuned Pixy Librerto with a shallow spool....most likely with 8 lb Tatsu...and a NRX852 or GLX BCR802...

The challenge is getting the spool rotating with lite lures.johnnybassboat wrote:I have done the same, pitching is no problem. I pitch more than cast.

How do you set up your reel?
Do you use any aftermarket things such as shallow spools?
Is your reel super tuned?
