Master That Bait Contest-New Shak-E2 Head-please read

[Bobby Uhrig]

For the guys who received the samples-Ya know I was just thinking. I wrote a little post below and came up with an idea. (O NO) I was up at Lake Champlain last weekend. Of course I brought my arsenal of lures.-(50 lb bag). But what I wanted to do was concentrate on was the new Shak-e 2 Head. . Listen I know its fun catching bass. Up there you can catch bass after bass after bass-BUT if you are not learning anything by experimenting -There really isnt much of a challenge to it. Remember its not the kill-its the thrill of the hunt. Its learning a new technique that you can possibly apply another day to another fishing situation. So I broke out the Shak-e2. I have used a lot of different techniques with that head. Finesse worms-sweet beavers., craws,even senkos- smaller swimbaits-tubes-I just kept comming up with new stuff to put on the head. Actually whatever I had in my bag is what I rigged on. I used it hopping,swimming,putting it on beds,skipping snagged 20 ft up in a tree-you name it I did it. NOW. for you guys that have them. Tell me and others how you used the new Shak-e2 head-Something different-unique -maybe I am overlooking a new style- list them here and tell us what you did different and caught a fish- Ok here is what I am going to do- I will take the top 5 new techniques(I want pictures) -the top five guys with new styles gets 5 packs of the new Shak-E2s ($25 value) be honest like I said if you dont learn something -what fun is it-See what you come up with- thats 5 winners that get 5 packs each.Thanks Bobby

Okay Bobby, you've now peaked my interest.  I didn't take advantage of the free offer, but a contest... I like!  Now, what am I doing wrong?  I click on your [www] button at the bottom of your post and can't locate the shak-e2 on your site, although I did see the megastrike that I wanted to also purchase (I'm tired of fighting with my son-in-law over the one tube I have in the boat).

[Zel]

Thanks Bobby, I'll call that number.

The smallmouth in my local lake are moving deep soon. My idea is to use the shak-e2 with a *** as the weight for a dropshot rig utilizing a 4 handpoured worm about 24 above the shak-e2 NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CLAIM THIS ONE IT'S MINE!!! (just kidding)

[Willzx225]

ARRRRR Zel you beat me to it!  That was the first thing that came to mind

[Bobby Uhrig]

Now THAT is a dangerous thought....

Shak-E2 Head rigged with a Fat Ika, skirt pointing up with a floating Rapala or Slug-Go attached to the line just above the Fat Ika so that it appears to be stalking or eating the bug?

Topwater Pitching 8-)

When fishing shallow brush. Flip the Shak-E2 over a small branch (using braid so when you set the hook on a fish it will snap the branch and set the hook into the fish). Let it just sit on tup of the water shaking it. It will swim in almost a circle. These fish have probably never seen a topwater bait, never mind one with this type of motion.

I was thinking Double shaky head rig one tied to mt main line with the other tied of the first or maybe a three way Swivel . Next my weird mind at work the shacky head under a boober like a poppin cork.

[Brian_Reeves]

I didn't get in on the freebies, but I use shakey style jigheads with a _______ in ________ to give me the ability to fish _____________.  Normally it works when fish are aggressive or not, deep or shallow, thick cover or open water.  Shame I can't share because y'all gotta come up with your own rig.  I will be trying out a pack of Shak-E2's when I can get some.  I will be putting a ________ on them like always and fish them with ____________ around ___________.  Good times ;D

[Dan:]

How about a Shak-E2 dropshot rig? Use the Shak-E2 as the weight on the bottom, rigged like a shakey head, but farther up the line there is a drop shot hook and dropshhot bait, that way the rig can fish both the bottom and the middle of the water column, and it can be cast and dragged/hopped/etc back to the boat because the Shak-e2 comes over cover better than many drop shot weights (and it will catch more fish than a dropshot weight will  ;D)

[FR0G]

I have already done this, and have caught fish on it, but it is what everyone else is saying to do. Dropshot with a Shak-e2 for weight. Like so:

Works wonderfully! I put either a big roboworm, or a trick worm on the bottom, and a smaller roboworm on the top. I haven't caught two fish at once yet, but that would be awesome. Here is a fish I caught with this setup.

Rig it wacky so it flips over itself.

Dateline June 1, 2008, Germantown, TN

I was gone all day Saturday striper fishing on the Tennessee River.

So, Sunday is for my wife and honey-dos. However, she had a nail

appointment at 12:30 , so I decided to sneak in an hour at the

new "secret pond."

I fished the Shak-E2 Head initally rigged with a Roboworm

and coated with MegaStrike attractant. First cast, rig hung-up

and lost. Five minutes later, fish on! Lost the bait, caught the

bass. Third bait was the GYCB Kut-Tail. One cast, one fish,

bait lost.

Since I only had an hour, I thought three baits were enough...wrong!

I happen to have a pack of Net Bait Paca Craws that I have only used

for jig trailers and had no intention of fishing, but that's all I had left to

fish with. Two casts later, the best bass of the day and time to leave.

Totals: 3 fish, approximately 18 lbs, two very nice ones and a

tournament bass. Estimated weights, 8, 6 & 4. This is my first

time to fish the Shak-E2 Head, but it won't be the last!

Thanks Bobby!

Took mine with me tio a local pond Thursday and had no luck with it but i did leave one of them hanging in a limb after only getting it wet about 8 times.

[Popeye]

Got mine last Friday and WILL be using them on Upper Otay this Wednesday. THANKS, Bobby! I'll post results after I use 'em with some "secret" add ons:o)

[fishfordollars]

I caught 4 the first hour on Lake Conroe with the new samples Saturday. Just dropping them off the grass and they got nailed. Storm drove me off the water so I did not get a chance to really give them a workout. Largest was about 2 3/4lbs.

[flyhatch]

Thanks for the samples.

I whacked this smallmouth yesterday morning.

Rigged with a micromunch trickster worm, I also caught 2 nice largies on them later in the day. Everyone was askin me if i had any more of those, I said not yet I showed them the cool weighting system and line tie.

Its a winner in my book

Thanks agian,

E

[Bobby Uhrig]

I caught them on this style rig yesterday on a rip rap wall. I do not recommend this rig in any type of weed or cover-EXPOSED HOOK DUH  but it was working great on the bass on this rocky wall-didnt lose a rig. This was used on the 3/16 head-I want to try it on the 3/8 or 1/2 in real deep water

[Teria]

Okay, I hope this one doesn't get to far out from under my hat. Riskkid was with me but there was a problem. I lost the 4+ lb. smallmouth while trying to lip it. So no pic.

Anyway, I was fishing a a Megastrike shaky head with a 6" finesse worm. I found a finesse technique that compliments stroking a jig on deep water ledges during post spawn. I simply lift a shaky head way off the bottom with and let it fall on a slack line to get a vertical drop (deadly on suspended fish). I found that the Megastrike heads I was using (the freebies from the G-Ville road trip) gave the worm a light wobble. I could feel it when I lifted it. The worms I use are a discontinued in that size but they have lots of action with light movement. I also swim shaky heads over the drops with great results. I've caught a handful over 5 lbs. on tough days using both of these techniques. I'll see if I can't get a picture quality fish on one the next time out!
