Weld's Largemouth Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 How effective is putting a zoom trick worm on a mega strike shake2 head??? The hookup ratio seems bad as the shakey head's hook barely reaches far . It hooks only in the top of the worm Thanks Welds Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 My number 1 bait for a shakey head is the trick worm. When they open their gills, they suck the whole thing in, don't worry about the length of hook! Jeff 2 Quote

Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 I use them all the time in that shakey head, works great 1 Quote
Fishing Cop Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Show us a photo of how you hook them up. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 Are you using the screw lock or the other thingy muh Bob that's built on the hook? I prefer the screw lock.... Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 I make my own shaky heads and use a few different style worms and I can tell you that using too big of a hook will hurt the action on the worm. Bass very seldom grab the tail, most of the time they inhale the whole bait, a 3/0 hook in a shaky head is perfect for 5" and 6" straight tail worms. 1 Quote

kikstand454 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Trick worms is what I use 90% of the time on a shake head. The others are roboworms and zman finesse, which are the same, but slightly different. 1 Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 Yep, looks good to me too! Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 Y'all need to look at Bass Assassin's Tapout Worm! 1 Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 If I know the fish are aggressive or It's a big fish place I tend to use a larger bait like the trick worm. If a more finesse approach Is needed I tend to throw a Zoom finesse worm, a 4" dead ringer, or a R.I. smallie beaver. Quote
Super User Raul Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 99% of the time I dedícate to shakeyheading the worm you'll see is a Trickworm. ( there used to be a time when that worm was a Jelly Worm ). Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted August 9, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 9, 2014 To me there is none better than the trick worm for the shaky head. It just plain works. Mike Quote
Balshy Fishing Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 So ya'll just rig it up, throw it out and hop and wiggle it in rocky conditions? i'm trying my hardest to get bites with that now Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted August 10, 2014 Super User Posted August 10, 2014 So ya'll just rig it up, throw it out and hop and wiggle it in rocky conditions? i'm trying my hardest to get bites with that now I tend to throw It In most, note I say most, conditions that I would throw a tx-rig. The retrieves I use vary according to the places I fish. For example, In brush I tend to shake It as I do under a dock. On a laydown I walk It right down the entire length of the tree until the end and then just shake It. There are many possibilities with regards to retrieves, don't pigeon-hole yourself with what some think Is the "only" presentation for a shakeyhead. I tend to use a 3/16 Zenith shakeyhead from Siebert Outdoors simply because I feel It can be used in a variety of situations but will go lighter or heavier depending on the need. Quote
bostonsox2904 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 My favorite setup!! It's killer on Calling Panther! Caught a couple nice fish there this morning on a shakey head w/ trick worm Quote
Primus Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 In my opinion the best bait on a shaky head is a Senko style bait on the Shaky head. I get them poured with no salt. Quote
