Shaky Head Rig 2024
Nathan Burton reply :
I'm staring to pick up the fine craft of shakey head fishing. I was wondering as to what worms the bass resource community recommends. Thanks in advance
TyF reply :
I like the Zoom Shakey head worms when bass are particularly finicky or in the winter and Biospawn Plasma tail when bass are a little more active or I am looking for a bigger presentation.
Jar11591 reply :
When I throw a shakey head, it's usually with a Roboworm.
Nathan Burton reply :
Do the tails float on the plasma tails and robo worms?
buzzed bait reply :
i like the roboworms too. but i also like using a damiki air craw sometimes. the claws are bouyant and look like one mean crawdad in the water!
Mosster47 reply :
Anything from Kicker Fish. The Hightail 4" and 7" hole shot worms. The 11" ribbon tail is good in the summer. I've had success on their 6" and 8" lizards. The action on their stuff on a shaky head is wicked. Those little air pockets work wonders.

Zoom Finesse
Netbait Finesse
Bio Plasmatail
Roboworm
Master Bait'r reply :
Z Man Finesse wormZ are great because they float to well and they're so tough.
Nathan Burton reply :

Other than worms, try the Rage Tail Craw and MegaStrike MegaTube Craw.

Zoom Mag Shakey Head
Roboworm
BioSpawn Plasma Tail
Havoc Bottom Hopper
Zoom Trick Worm
*If you like the Havoc Bottom Hopper and Zoom Trick Worm type worms go onto Facebook look up a small company Gator Baits, They sell a worm that is identical to both and is a little cheaper. The last time I bought from him they were $3 a dozen. I always try to buy local or from small companies.

Im a zman finesse worm guy
Fishes in trees reply :
I think that Zoom trick worms are a place to start, but there are many different options, some more regionally available than others. I don't get too concerned about whether a worm "floats" or not. Believe it or don't but if you own a worm blower you can inflate the tail of any soft plastic worm and get it to rise off the bottom a little or somewhat.
loudcherokee reply :
The reigns bubbling shaker is pretty awesome on a small shakey head. I got a pack with MTB and need to find some more.

1201vilbig reply :
Original Trick Worm if you want it to float up. The "Super Salt Plus" & the "Better Than Salt" will not float up, but slowly fall to the bottom. The latter sometimes works better when the bite is tough.
Nathan Burton reply :
You guys are great. I have honestly learnt everything I currently know about bass fishing from this great community and the good ole YouTube.
AustinHellickson reply :

BOOM!!!! Simple and effective.
Subaqua Adinterim reply :
Another option to consider is the Owner Ultra Shakeyhead with screw in attached to the jig. Pair this with a Gary Y mini craw and you can rig this to be weedless by screwing the head of the bait into the jig and passing the hook through the bait to lie flat against the back. I would recommend the green or brown jigs in 3/16 oz. and plastics colors in watermelon with red flake or pumpkin with green and black flake.
Cast along the weed edges and reel in slowly. You should have success.
Good luck.

Where do I buy? Link if possible please
d-camarena reply :
I buy them at academy but they should be at any online tackle store. Ill try to get a link soon. Either the screw in or push in work fine.
1/4 i beleive is what i use
Tanner English reply :
I love a spot remover in 3/16 and 1/4 oz... 3/8 or 1/2 oz would b good in 30 or 40 foot of water but for the most part I'm fishing 6-20 foot deep... The spot remover has a perfectly flat bottom so it will stand up and the eye is a 90 degree bend from the shank of the hook. I throw it with a junebug or black trick worm... A football head is good with a craw but it's not called a shakey head or a jig but a creeper because it just creeps along the bottom

I pour my own and wasn't a fan of the spot remover head but that's the one I'd get if I was buying them again.
Netbait T-mac or finesse worm is my worm of choice.

rangerjockey reply :
Bass x 3/16 oz. head and zoom finesse worm or a speed craw.
Choporoz reply :
Lead with a hook. Anything plastic attached. Put it on the bottom and leave it...or move it.
Not trying to be flip, but it doesn't get much simpler than shaky head. There's tons of more specific fine tuning, but doesn't have to be. I tend to have best luck with thinner worms (trick, drop shot types, etc.) or smaller profile craws....but it doesn't much matter a lot of days.
