I Tried the Rig That’s Replacing the Texas Rig

The Free Rig has been getting a ton of attention lately, and a lot of bass fishermen are starting to ask the same question: could this be a replacement for the Texas Rig? In this video, I spend a full day on the water fishing the Free Rig to see where it shines, where it struggles, and whether it actually deserves a spot in your regular bass fishing lineup. I break down how I’m rigging it, why the bait has a different action than a traditional Texas Rig, and the situations where I think this setup can help you get more bites. The Texas Rig is one of the most proven bass fishing techniques of all time, so I’m not saying it’s going away anytime soon. But after throwing the Free Rig, I can definitely see why so many anglers are paying attention to it. If you’ve been curious about the Free Rig, or you’ve wondered whether it’s worth adding to your tackle box, this video should help you decide. 📌 Timestamps & Chapters 0:00 – What’s going to happen? 0:45 – First bite 2:28 – The rig 3:41 – BIG BASS 7:20 – These change everything 11:46 – How I am fishing it 12:54 – How to find the bass! 17:24 — Here comes the storm 🎣 Gear Used In This Video The Flux Gill: https://bit.ly/FluxGill Size: 5.3” Free rich weight: https://bit.ly/decoy-tx-dan-sinker Size: 3/8 oz Rod: https://bit.ly/ABUVeritas Size: 7’6 H Fast Reel: https://bit.ly/abu-garcia-voltiq-reel Speed: 7:5 Line: https://bit.ly/berkley-gin-clear-line Size: 20lb 💬 What Do You Think?
