Bobby Uhrig Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 We talked about power shakn a few times here and yesterday my buddy Mike and I went out power shakn the 4 inch fat shads. Man we got em. Took the 3/4 and 1/2 oz Shakey 2 heads -Put the 4 inch fat shads on them -exposed hook style . . Just made long casts and reeled them in slowly. Tried to keep them a foot or two off the bottom. Reeled for a bit then killed them (stopped reeling and let them hit the bottom) Occasionally I would hop them and still got the fish to hit them. Tried all different colors. The white, the smoke shad and the biggest fish came on the motor oil red flake. The water was very clear. This has become a killer rig for me and wish you guys could really see how this works. With the larger shakey heads along with the unique swimming action of the fat shad-The bass just slam them. We caught over a dozen fish and the smallest was 3 lbs It is a great technique for the fall season when bass are stocking up their fat reserves for the upcoming winter. Give them a try. Quote
BuffaloBass716 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 What swim baits are those? Would any kind work? Quote
Loop_Dad Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Interesting. How long do you reel in and how long you kill them? What is the benefit of using shaky head over regular siwmbait jig head when you are reeling in alot and using as exposed hook style? (Or maybe you are reeling in less than I am imagining...) Quote

Hattrick7 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Man nice! Clear water what test line were you using? Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 I was casting out as far as I could to reach this drop off-A went in up to the boyz to get some extra distance. I throw the bait -watch the line til it goes slack (hits bottom) then just slow roll the bait off the bottom. I let the fish tell me how they want it-fast or slow. Then I mix it up with some hops and erratic actions. I went out again yesterday with the rig and banged about 25 fish. It has really become one of my go to baits. The fat shad/shakey2 Has a very unique action. In weeds or heavy cover I screw lock the baits on with the point of the hooh in the hook slot. Open water I just thread it down the shank and snug it up on the ribbed trailer keeper. They just crush them Quote
