CH,you can use either bullet or mojo weights rigged texas or carolina.But you have to be patient and play around with the different setups and let the fish SHOW u what they want on a specific day!!! I am a fan of weightless/finesse myself but often conditions dictate that you use a weighted setup.Personally do not even have mojo sinkers in my tackle box,use different size bullet weights(tungsten and lead) with gummies and glass beads.

Another option is to use needle weights. These are long, thin weights that you push into the fluke. They are hard to find but I swear by them.

Part of the advantage of weightless is that the lure falls horizontally instead of nose first. With a needle weight you keep the horizontal action but the lure sinks deeper. You keep the standard texas rig.

Yo brendanh been hunting 4 those needle weights everywhere until finally came across something similar @ 1 of da fishing tackle stores , it was basically a 6mm wall screw with da head cut of which screws in 2 da fluke n just packaged by 1 of these fishing tackle company's ,da problem wid da screw in is its 2 harsh n damages da lure.that then pointed me in2 da direction of a hardware store where I found very thin almost needle like nails wich works perfect n costs like 20c each.thanx 4 da insight which led me 2 this discovery
