Is there a Rule about this???? 2025

Vinny Chase reply :

I was getting frustrated with bullet weights so i tried a shaky head jig on my craws, tubes, etc. I love how they look in the water. Is there a rule against doing this? Or do you guys use this technique?

Let me know what you think

Thanks,

DINK WHISPERER reply :

Join the club bro, we have shirts, LOL! Seriously though, i think people have been doing this for a long time! At least i have, LOL!

seyone reply :

Why would there be a rule against it? If it works use it.

Vinny Chase reply :

thats the thing i havent really used it too much yet.....maybe 10 min total and had one bite, but i was just wondering if people have had as much or more luck using this technique

Well put Roger.

BIG B. reply :

I fish a public county lake a lot during spring and fall, and my personal best from that particular lake (about 5lbs) came off of a zoom lil' critter craw rigged on a shakey head. It's still one of my favorite rigs in that lake.

Captain Obvious reply :

Bassmaster magazine ran an artical that had the Greg Hackney using a shaky head with a Zoom brush hog and other craw like baits. He said it was like a jig with the advantages of a Texas rig.

The Front cover of another bassmaster magazine had a picture if Gerry Swindle doing the same thing.

If the pros use it must work.

J Francho reply :

There really aren't any rules about this stuff, only best practices. Some baits are so bulky that they inhibit a good hookset with some jigheads, so watch for that. Other than that, the sky is the limit bro.

That can also be remedied by finding some different jigheads with bigger,longer,or wider gap hooks. That said I have had success with paca and rage craws,gambler bb cricket,brush hogs in both sizes,zoom speed craws and critter craws,yammy creatures and flappin hogs,yum wooly hog tail,senkos,sizmic toads.

Raul reply :

Rules:

1.- Rules are meant to be broken

2.- There are no rules

3.- Bass don 't know about and don 't care about "rules".

tnbassfisher reply :

Yes, this is what the whole Delta Storm thing was about.

mike304 reply :

I tried a brush hog on a shakey head jig the other night. didn't get anything, but that may not mean anything other than I sucked the other night, since I didn't do all that well on anything.

rubba bubba reply :

Don't pay attention to these clowns, they just want to watch you get busted. It's clearly against the rules so whatever you do, do NOT get caught doing that.

The horror, the horror.

Actually, that's why I said "some" plastics and "some" jigs, LOL. But, do you have any recommendations for large gap shaky heads?

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

I totally missed the "some" jigheads part and yes I know you already know what I was saying.

I have some falcon k-shakey head and k-shakey standup head with a wide gap.They are nice for thick baits including senkos(link not posted since I got them from the"forbidden" site)

I also got some of these a long time ago. D+M customs is a top notch store with incredible service. http://cgi.ebay.com/Shakey-Jig-Clearlake-Special-5-count_W0QQitemZ390024016465QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5acf3e3251&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

Theres another neat one I found called the secret lures tail shaker.(once again forbidden zone)

Google the names of the ones I posted and you'll probably find them or even find my super secret online store.

J Francho reply :

Awesome, man - thanks!

rubba bubba reply :

PM Cadman. I bet he could make you some for mega-cheap.

Big-O reply :

Hey Vinny, Ck out the smallmouths attacking the Baby Rage Craw at the end of this 3 1/2 min video and notice how it is rigged

CWB reply :

One of my go to baits is a Rage Lizard on a 3/16 oz Evolution Shake-2

jighead. This head always lands upright and you can gently rock it back and forth in place without moving it. I've tried just about every bait on it (not tubes though) and they all seem to fit. Another good bait on this head is the Rage Craw. It presents it in a defensive position which puts bass on feed alert.
