    A most timely presentation. I used to catch fish regularly with the shakey head. Then, I lost all confidence.
    I’m excited to use this presentation at my weekend tournament.
    Thank you.

    Good stuff Miles. Beaver Lake is my home lake, and I always have a shakeyhead tied on. I caught my best fish this weekend throwing one under a dock with a General. It was a football shaped head, which I'd never really tried before.

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  Місяць тому +2

      That’s awesome man! Football head shaped shaky heads are a pretty stout choice! Beaver Lake certainly is a place I’d always have one tied on! Thanks for sharing Nate!

    That's great information Miles. I have never caught a fish on a shakey head. I have tried, but I have no confidence in this technique. I am going to learn this technique this summer. This information will help me. I think I have been doing it wrong this whole time. I live in your neck of the woods in East Tennessee, so hopefully I can add this technique to my arsenal. Thanks for the content and I am praying for your daughter.

      @erniebrightfishing Місяць тому

      I live in east Tennessee too. Shaky heads are great here. Make sure your using a floating style worm or elaztech worm somit stands up better.

      @@erniebrightfishing Thanks for the tip! That might be one of my problems. When I fish it, its been a Zoom Trick Worm. I will pick up some of those Elaztech's for sure. I love fishing Norris by the way. Thanks man.

    • @erniebrightfishing
      @erniebrightfishing Місяць тому

      ​@@bradr.7249Right on man. Yeah it should work great there. I'm just a little ways down from you on watts bar. I know you guys have a lot of rocks and steeper bank but if you can find some of those longer points, around docks, and current areas (ledges) it'll work great. But I truly believe that the secret to this technique along with like Ned rigs is the bait itself. Elaztech stays straight up and entices them. I like finesse also but it takes my patience sometimes. Lol.

    Miles, great video. Thanks for the different shakey head retrieves. I'm going fishing this weekend and will be trying these. What was the weight of the jighead you were you using in this video? What's your favorite to use overall?

  • @a.b.robinsonjr.4301
    @a.b.robinsonjr.4301 Місяць тому +1

    Great vid. Very informative. What actual jighead were you using? You referenced the smh head, but you were fishing a round. Name, hook size. Thank you!

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  Місяць тому

      So, I actually have a bunch of the Zman Shaky HeadZ jigheads, but I believe they were discontinued. Strike King makes a similar ball-style jighead that has a slightly different worm keeper but is a really good jighead: amzn.to/3KRALgp

  • @williambaker1753
    @williambaker1753 Місяць тому +1

    If the Bass are bitting it is it still being fished wrong. I think the only way a bait can be used the wrong way is when it can't trigger a strike.

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  Місяць тому

      Absolutely not, if you are getting bit you are doing it right. Of course there is always ways to maximize your success and possibly get more bites, but if it works for you and it helps you gain confidence I say go for it! Thanks for watching!

  • @jimbeavers9723
    @jimbeavers9723 Місяць тому

    NOT USED ONE IN OUR DINGY OKLA WATERS. IS THE BITE LIKE A NORMAL WORM BITE OR DO THEY JUST SWIM OFF WITH IT?

  • @MrMadhouse70
    @MrMadhouse70 Місяць тому +1

    Why not an open hook like on the ned rig?

    • @SonarFishing
      @SonarFishing  Місяць тому

      You can certainly fish it on an open hook too. I think that was more popular when the shaky head first came out, but these days most Jigheads are designed so you can rig them weedlessly, and I find it difficult to think of a scenario where an exposed hook is a better method, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist anymore. Whatever works for the individual angler is what I say!

  • @maxcole3930
    @maxcole3930 Місяць тому

    Hard to beat shaky head, I like the bang stix, mag fatty & magnum hit worms. I fish a lot of smaller lakes, being in the kayak it usually gets me away from more pressured body's of water. I use my Garmin to map all of them. I love building map of these small lakes & it really helps me catch a lot more fish knowing depths & contours

  • @douglas8213
    @douglas8213 Місяць тому +1

    XZone worms also float and you can use them with a screw lock head.

  • @Pudge4400
    @Pudge4400 Місяць тому

    Shaky heads and ned rigs are about the only times I like to use Elaztech, because I want that buoyancy, or "floatability." Maybe the double fluke rig too. It's not that I dislike the baits per se, I just HATE rigging up Elaztech...especially on a Twistlok hook! 😂
