Shaky Head Worm: How and when
do you fish it? Small and
Largemouth...?
Hook type? Water type? Colors
and suggestions are greatly
appreciated. Thanks in
advance!
A shakey head rig is a finesse
tactic best used when the bass
are inactive, or you have
picked off all the active fish
using search baits such as
spinnerbaits and
crankbaits.
To rig a shakey head worm you
need only two things. I use
and prefer a ball head jig,
but other jigs such as a "spot
remover" jig or any of your
basic stand-up jig heads work
great. And two, you need soft
plastic worms that have some
amount of boyancy to them. I
prefer the Strike King 3X
worms due to how well they
float. The tail on the 3X worm
jumps and jives as you twitch
it across the bottom. Another
type of floating worm would be
the Zoom trick worms.
