I Texas-rig these baits. The amount of weight will be determined by the density of cover you are throwing to. I pitch to a lot of heavy cover with these , so use a heavy braid line and either 3/8 or 5/8 weight. If you use braid, do yourself a favor and use hooks with spring locks or something similar- it will reduce the amount of damage to the baits from the braided line. Really thick slop, I'll use a bigger bait, heavier weight and a punch skirt. The Ugly Otter, along with Gambler's 10" Ribbontail Worm, are my go-to plastics. Also a fan of their Cane Toads. I think the heavy garlic scent makes a HUGE difference! Good luck!
