Title: The Shakey Head Worm....
Post by: Bulletproof on April 09, 2006, 11:01:50 PM
Seemed like every other guy in the FLW weigh-in was using one.


Never tried one.....



What's your take?

Don't bother, stick to your tubes and creature baits, etc.....but don't you worry about them shaky heads.  And by all means, don't waste your time fishing a Yum Houdini worm and a 3/16 spotsticker jighead.  They just don't work at all!!!!!

At [REMOVED - see No Links Policy List (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?topic=11129.0)] they have the Reaction Innovations screwball jigheads that are made just for shaky headin'.  Also, Roboworm makes some great looking finesse worms and shad bodies.

It's for real, not just some gimmick.  I don't think it's something totally new though, just a new twist on an old technique.  Since they changed the tour season a bit the lakes have fished a bit tougher, forces them to change up a little.

Yeah it really isn't anything new... but it's caught fire latley with the lakes that some of these big tournaments are held at... good technique and great when the bite is tough...

It's awsome in clear water. been around awhile just coming back into favor on pressured lakes. The lure that Aaron Martins used at santee will be sure to get some attention this year also. I just orderd some myself.

So it's not a bad bait/technique huh. ;D

I'll check out that houdini worm and spotsticker jighead as well.


Thanks for the tip  Smbassman!!!!!
