I'd recommend you peg your sinker when you Texsas rig, too. Fishing thick
vegetation was the inspiration for the Florida-style screw-on slip sinker,
and keeping your weight tight up against your hook makes it easier to manage
the bait as you hop, crawl, slither it back to you and on the fall.

Anyway that's why there's such a thing as a Texas rig, son. Get you a
flippin' stick, some nice, thin braid or Fireline, ad bunch of pretty
heavy slip sinkers and as many green pumpkin creature baits as your boat
will float, and go fishin'.
