Best Shaky Head worm??? 2024

win300mag1 reply :

Hey everyone, what do you think is the best Shaky Head worm? I've always just used a regular old zoom trick worm but after watching several videos I learned that maybe there are better choices out there. The zoom trick worms do seem to sink a decent rate. Any thoughts? Thanks!

whitwolf reply :

I throw many different baits.

1. Reaction Innovations smallie beaver

2. Custom Lure Unlimited : Danny Joe Humphreys original floating worms.

Zoom: Finesse worms, magnum finesse worms, and a personal favorite a 4" dead ringer.

CrustyMono reply :

I typically use worms that float, enabling them to have more action, like zman, will also last long

any zoom worms will work and are cheap too

win300mag1 reply :

Thanks! Not sure if it's a grass is greener type situation with the old trick worm but I've been curious about other things. I will definitely look into some of those.

I've had good luck with the powerbait shakey worms and roboworms.

Mosster47 reply :

Kicker Fish hightail hole shot worms. The 7" and 11" ribbon tail are both killer.

Creme scrounger , robo worm , trick worm, honorable mention to grande bass rattle snakes

MikeWright reply :

The robo worms don't last long at all...even without a fish on the end...the salt content just on the bottom just makes the worm fall apart. Instead of the trick worm try the finesse worm but at the same time you can just nip off a chunk of the trick worm and have the same thing. Also zoom just came out with a new (first original remake) worm that looks pretty cool..haven't tried it yet though...

yum came out with a pretty cool looking worm called a genie worm

I usually use the Zoom 4.5 inch finesse worm

These are my go to baits as well.

The Fisher reply :

Hags Tornado You can find them at TW. They stand straight up and have really cool colors.

Has anyone tried a plasma tail on a shakey head? I'm going to try it this weekend on a 6.5" in junebug, shakey head seems to be the ticket on this particular lake.

win300mag1 reply :

I've heard some really good things about those. Supposedly they are designed with finesse in mind. Never tried them personally but I plan too as well.

stk44 reply :

Yeah, the plasma tail should float up which I would think would give it great action.

Yes -- the plasmatail is legit. The bouyancy is pretty close to neutral so the tail doesn't really float up, but it doesn't just lie down either.

timsford reply :

I use lots of different worms: high tail hole shot, reins bubbling shaker, big bite baits squirrel tail worms, and zman, strike king 3x, and old terminator baits all made from elastic if I want the worm to float up in the tail. I usually use these when fishing slow in clear water when the fish see it paused for a few seconds.

If I'm not worried about the fish getting as good a look and I'm fishing faster or in off color water I use roboworms, trick worms, finesse worms from 7-8 different brands, and pro send and slim send type baits.

I've also caught a lot of fish on a sluggo ss with its super thin wispy tail, but Idk if it's technically a worm.

I also like using big 10-12 inch worms on large shaky heads when targeting deep bass or when after a bigger kicker fish. I like several brands but probably use the yum mighty worm the most

1201vilbig reply :

Make sure you use the "Original" Trick Worm. The "Super Salt Added" do not stand up as well as the no salt original. For the deeper summer bite, I like the Maximus worm on a Buckeye Magnum Goby Sled jig head.

I love using Zoom 7" ribbon tails on a shaky head. Probably my favorite thing to throw and catch fish.

crypt reply :

love using charlie brewer 4 inch slider worm,zoom trick,robo…..in that order

MIbassyaker reply :

Is there such a thing as a bad shaky head worm? Or, really, a bad worm of any kind?

papajoe222 reply :

If I'm using a shakey head, I'm dead sticking it a lot so I use a thin floating worm. The slightest bit of current, or just attempting to hold the rod still gets that thing wiggling. Before I went to hand poured, Berkley Havoc worms did a fine job.

i must say that the bottom hoppers are very good , durable , tail floats great and they are cheap !! pretty impressed , gonna buy a few more packs

blckshirt98 reply :

I usually use a 5" GYCB senko because it lets me dual purpose that bait and have two presentation possibilities with one bag of plastics.

anything YUM is cheap and sucks though,

Best bet is zoom finesse, z crawler or shaky head worm. Everyone is different so keep trying until whatever works best for YOU though.

MBB Nate reply :

I like throwing chigger craws on a shakyhead best. Brush hogs net good results for me too.

Zoom is just as "cheap"... the yum dinger and Christie craw both produce fish for me on a Regular basis..

I've always had great luck with YUM worms for wacky rigging. Way more durable than a lot of more expensive brands too.

Try mann's hard nose jelly worm

Bass Turd reply :

This one looks good!

iceintheveins reply :

KVD Fat Baby Finesse Worm, Reaction Innovations Flirt, Robo Worms Fat, and Zoom Finesse and Trick worms. Zoom also makes a shaky head worm and I like that one too, it's in between the size of the finesse and trick worm, but it has a really narrow, almost needle like tail that waves and shakes quite while.

Zoom uses some of the cheapest plastic , vey stiff and dense . i think you got the two backwards , though yum isn't far behind , you get what you pay for ...
