Shakey head technique

[J@k3 01s3n]

Flyphisher said to use at least 12 pound test line...i totally disagree....i use 6# as my min. and 10 as my max..I'm not saying it wont work, but you will feel and get alot more bites on the smaller line....as for plastic...if you read my outing post and saw my pic's...Webbs Baits makes some nice worms for shakey head...

I totally agree on the smaller line. I usually use 6or 8lb myself. One thing that I love is that you can kind of cheat will flouro line if you are really worried about using smaller line, without sacrificing sensitivity or line diameter.

would a real subtle bite on a shaky head rig feel the same a t-rig... kind of a mushy feeling or just a small tap??

It seems to me that most of the bigger fish that I catch on a shaky head only feel like a mushy feeling or just one tap, because I think that bigger fish can take in the whole worm with just one bite while the smaller fish need a couple bites to get it all in their mouth and feel more like a tap tap tap
