Jackall Flick shake worm.

[BassinfromNC]

Tried for first time today. I know they are suppose to be on a jig head but I fished them weightless wacky rigged. Got real good hits on them catching about 4 on them. Just got fish it slow if weightless. Will try weighted next time. I noticed the hits where pretty quick after hitting water, really got to pay attention because it can be subtle. I will definetely fish them again. They might even give my go to bait senkos some competition.

Has anyone else used them?

I have a couple packs that I'm waiting to use, how are their durability?

[Nibbles]

They're not durable at all - possibly even less durable than Senkos. Then again it's probably because they're very soft and have salt in them.

[Hooligan]

Used them all through last year.  They're durable enough for a few fish each, as long as you rehook, you're fine.

I've tried a few imitations of the Jackall worm, and nothing comes close, like the Senko, there's other sticks but they're not Senkos.

I lost a couple when trying to set hook hard. Senko o rings don't fit, I might check lowes for smaller ones I think will work.

Durability = not much

I use the o-rings on them now.

I've been using weightless Flick Shake worms for many years.  I never had any problem with durability.  I hook them twice though.  Insert the point of the hook just a bit off center of the top of the worm, slide the worm up the shank and give a quarter turn, again toward the center of the worm and slide the point of the hook through the bottom of the worm.  You should have enough of the worm to cover the point and barb of the worm and it makes it weedless.

They are my favorite drop shot and shakeyhead bait bar none.  They do however have durability issues.

I'm trhying to visualize that, amybe you could post a pic?

I was halfway through typing that when I realized that would have been better.  Unfortunately, they are in my boat under some freshly fallen snow.  I'll take a few pics tomorrow to give you and the others an idea of how they are rigged.

Is it possible that you're using a different worm?  Jackall didn't bring the Flick shake to market (Even in Japan) until just under two years ago.  They brought them to their US distributors more recently than that.

The actual Jackall Flick-Shake worm isn't that durable.  I'll catch 2-3(four if I'm lucky) fish on them before they can't be re-hooked.  The first that I got in late 2009 were more durable than what I currently have.  Also, I've found a difference in the colors, in terms of durability.  Cola, Cinnamon, and Sunburn Melon tend to be more durable, while Bluegill, Watermelon Pepper and Candy and Green Pumpkin Pepper and Candy tend to be not quite as durable as the others.

Great, I liked to see it.

I love them!!  Have caught some nice bass on the flick shake.

To get the action that the Flick Shake has durability is sacrificed. I'd sacrifice durability for action any day.

I've been using Flick Shakes since at least 2006. Below is a copy of an ebay purchase from that time.  My account name is crossed out because it was compromised.  You can send me an e-mail at the listed address j_argese@mac.com and I'll confirm it's me.

[central.PA.bass]

Wow, that's cool.  One of my fishing partners is a rep, and swore up and down last year that it was only a couple years old.  Turns out we were both wrong, if you were getting them in 2006, huh!

1.  I could have done it in a less dramatic fashion but wheat the hay!  I've been a long term fan of Japanese Tackle Porn, why not a bit of flair?

2.  Jackall does make a worm quite similar to the Flick Shake but cylindrical without the flat ends.  It's called the Yammy 250 (slow sinker) or the Yammy 500.  Another productive bait.

3.  What I like about the double hooked method is a more taut, subtle action.
