I am one of those bass anglers that lives by the "use the lightest weight possible" rule any time I am fishing a Texas rig, bass jig or any type of jig head.
Typically it's one of two factors that impact the weight size of the rig I am using: water depth or wind; the deeper the cover/structure being fished or windier it is means I use a heavier than normal weight.
From time to time there's another factor that comes into play (when I am in-tune enough to recognize it at least), the best weight size needed to trigger more strikes from bass!
Take a moment and see how selecting the right weight size helped bass pro Luke Palmer catch several huge sacks of bass and propel him to winning a recent (2023) spring bass tournament he was fishing...
Something I definitely have to remember when I see bass following or short striking weighted baits is to up-size and see if it helps trigger more strikes!
