Steve, have you ever tried the screw in weights on the front end when
fishing heavy brush so that the weight leads the worm into the brush but the
hook/line is on the other end?

Hi,

Thanks for previous help.

Regarding the Texas Rig:

When do you folks peg the weight to the worm, and when do you let it be
totally free to ride on the line ?

Might as well also ask: when pegging, is the toothpick approach still
the "best" way, or has technology caught up with this "problem" while
I've away from sport ?

Bob,

Typically, I peg the sinker if I'm fishing in brush. This way, when I'm
pulling the worm over a branch, I don't end up with the sinker on one side
of the branch and the worm/hook on the other. I don't peg if I'm fishing
a t-rig in vegetation or rock.

Technology has added new sinkers that can "peg" the sinker. What it does
is attach the worm or hook to the sinker. Here's a couple new sinkers.

And here's a high tech approach to toothpicks.

Of course, toothpicks still work just fine.
