yfz 450 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 What is your favorite shakey head worm to use. Also what jig heads do you prefer. I belong to a local fishing club and everyone lately has been killing them on shakey heads. I have never fished this technique before. Any help would be appreciated Quote
rowyourboat Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I really like 4.5" robo worms & zoom finesse worms. and i use jewel jig heads designed by jeff kriet. best heads there are!!!! on a side note, make suure to use 6/8 lb test Quote
Super User deep Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 Straight and curly-tail roboworms. I buy my shaky-heads from a guy on Ebay. Best shaky-heads I ever fished. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I mostly use pointy tail of a robo style worm. Favorite heads- The ones I make. Quote

endless Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I'm trying these Bagley Shaky Jighead I also use these Strike King Tour Grade Shaky jighead And I'm trying these no luck yet on them though Damiki Finesse Miki Other than those worms did ok with the Squirrel Tail by Big Bite Baits. I got some Z-Man Elaztech. I haven't tried them yet. I'm trying to get more into shaky myself. What kind of rod are you using for shaky? I'm almost forget welcome to Bassresource!! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 I use Bagley's and some home made. Spot Removers are great stand up finesse jigs, but not the same as shaky heads. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 Spot Removers are great stand up finesse jigs, but not the same as shaky heads. I suppose you are technically correct. Without a rounded bottom they may just be a standup jig. I have used a variety of jigs for "shaking" and always come back to Spot Removers. They do not come through grass and algae as good as some, but they just seem to catch fish. Zoom Trickworms are my favorite for "shakyhead" fishing. When the bite is really slow I will go to Zoom Finesse worms. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 I'd say the shaky head and spot remover are fundamental different, especially if the you are using a shaky head with a proper floating worm. Here is the shaky head: You can see quite a difference. I do love spot removers, though. Especially on rocky drops. Shaky head are a more general purpose/cover finesse rig to me. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 Strike King for me, combined with a Strike King 3x or KVD finesse worm. I have used the Strike King heads for a few years now, and have not found one I like better. This is the first year I have use the SK worms, and I like them better than what I used to use (Zoom trick and finesse worms) Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I use the gambler giggy heads (the straight barber threader, not the spiral threader) with straight tail roboworms. The giggy heads are the only shakey heads I've found that allow the bait to stand completely up and down. I've caught a ton of fish off them. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted August 31, 2011 Super User Posted August 31, 2011 Every time I go to a tackle store and see a new brand or kind of shakey head, I'll probably buy it, so I've got lots of different kinds. My current favorites are the Bite Me shakey heads and the Chompers. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 1, 2011 Global Moderator Posted September 1, 2011 I like the trick worm style baits and 4" senko style baits along with small craws. I use the shakeyheads I pour. Quote
