Bk4 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The area I fish at is quite shallow about 1-2ft water because I fish at the bank so is it required to fish the flick shake with the whacky jig head? Or I can fish the bait weightless? I know I won't have the casting distance when fishing em weightless what's the best option I have? Whacky jig head, dropshot, split shot? Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 13, 2014 Super User Posted March 13, 2014 I've used it wacky rigged on a drop shot before. It caught plenty of fish. Also use it on a small 1/16 wacky jig head. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted March 13, 2014 Super User Posted March 13, 2014 The wacky jig head is what the bait was meant to be used with. I have also had very good success dropshotting them also rigged wacky allowing the bait to presented off the bottom. The flickshakes are great finesse baits. Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 13, 2014 Super User Posted March 13, 2014 You can use it without the jighead, they are quite heavy and capable of good distance. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 13, 2014 Super User Posted March 13, 2014 I used them on a wacky jig head, or dropshot rig. FWIW.... IMHO, they are expensive and semi fragile. They make gycb senkos seem cheap and durable lol. I have just as good, if not better results on a Zoom finesse/trick worm, and a real sleeper bait wacky rigged and what replaced the flick shake worms for me, is the Zoom swamp crawler. Quote

In that situation I would just use a weightless Zoom swamp crawler instead of a Jackall bait. One to two feet of water does not give the bait much time to wiggle on the fall. Allen Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I bought a bag of these things at the Indy outdoor show last month. I got home and looked at them and thought - too small to Texas rig. Hmm.. So I guess I will have to use a small shaky head jig. Quote
ColdSVT Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Ive t rigged em and wacky rigged. Both worked well. I bought some of the jackall flick shake heads and they are quite nice not the most durable worms but they work darn good Quote
