BassFishingMachine Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Well, I made a search on "shakey head", and couldn't find anything relating towards what baits work best on this rig. So I decided to post on it. I just started getting into this rig, and have had minimal success, and I plan to try to get more experienced with the shakey come spring. Now I know straight tail worms are typically the favored bait for this rig, but from what I've seen in various posts, there are many other baits that work well on the shakey style. Can you name your top 3 most used baits on the shakey head? Thanks guys . Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 1: Berkley Shakey Worm 2: *** *** 3: Zoom Finesse worm Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 Definatley the Berkley Shakey Worm because of the scent and it stands perfect on a Spot Remover head. Can't wait to try the new Slim Shakey Worms they are coming out with...super-finesse 8-) Quote
Super User Dan: Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 I almost always throw a straight tail worm on my shakey heads but I will occasionally use creature baits like beavers or Paca craws to resemble crawfish. I've seen people use minnow baits like flukes and what not to look like feeding baitfish also. Quote
ghost Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Roboworms 4 & 6" straight tails, works great for drop shotting too. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 Paca Craw (hollow body,stands up indefinitely) Brush Hogs Trickworms Net bait T-Mac (like a trickworm but less salt) Yum dinger(need a large enough hook on the head) Yum Bigshow Paddle tail 6 inches Oops-more than 3 Quote
rayrock99 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I would have to agree with ghost on the robo worm. Quote
BassinBoy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 The one and only............. Zoom Trick Worm (Watermelon) 8-) Quote
zbass Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 6" straight tail worm 8" straight tail worm 3" craw Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 I love the Berkley Shakey Worm, it has been by far my best worm for this presentation. Oddly I love Roboworms for dropshoting, but have zero confidence with them on shakey head. I really don't fish much else on the shakey head any more since "discovering" the Berkley worm, it has worked for me everytime. Quote
Bad to da Bass Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I use the Roboworm Zipper shakin worms all the time. 5 inch size Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 1: Berkley Shakey Worm2: *** *** 3: Zoom Finesse Trick worm I mostly agree with Matt, just made one slight change. It's really hard to beat that Power Bait Shaky worm, once they get a sniff, there's no going back. Quote
Jake. Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 6" Roboworm Straight Tail. They're hand-poured which gives them a little quiver that bass can't resist. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 Roboworm, 6" Shakin' Zipper Wormshttp://www.roboworm.com/zsframe.htm GYCB 6.5" Kahuna Kut-Tail GYCB Flappin' Hog 8-) Quote
RiskKid. Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 1- Zoom Finesse worm 2- Grande Bass Rattlesnake after that I've tried alot of different stuff with varying success Quote
sean0920 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 by far the yamamoto 5 3/4 inch kut tail in green pump/lg blk flk. its amazing what this rig can do with a 1/8 oz spot remover and just dropping it next to trees. they love it on the fall Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 17, 2009 Super User Posted January 17, 2009 Definatley the Berkley Shakey Worm because of the scent and it stands perfect on a Spot Remover head. Can't wait to try the new Slim Shakey Worms they are coming out with...super-finesse 8-) I caught more shaky head bass in 08' on the Berkley Power Shaky Worm than any other plastic. I can't wait to see the slim Powerbait version too. I picked up quite a few packs of the Berkley hand-pours this past fall, and I can't wait to give them a shot this spring as well. Quote
Mobydick Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Is there a time when bass prefer one action of a shakeyhead worm over another? I ask this because some worms are stiffer and dont have near the action as a longer more shakey worm. Ian Quote
Bass XL Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 1) Webb's Baits black magic 2) Berkley Power Craw 3) Berkley Beast Those are my top three. If one's not working, another one is. Quote
619bassman Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 4 to 6 inch strait tail roboworms are it for me. cant beat those Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Flappin hogs & roboworms sometimes I'll put a baby brush hog on a shakey head too Quote
guitarkid Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Not a true "shakey head" presentation, but a weightless trick/finesse worm fished like a shakey is killer. 1. Trick Worm 2. Finesse worm 3. Fish Stalker 6" finesse worms -gk Quote
bronzewb22 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 try strike king's 3x finesse worm. its made out of this really cool material that stretches out to like 3 feet long and then compresses back into the original position. also zoom finesse worms Quote
