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.
I hope you get a chance to build your confidence back in it.
I started using the Shaky Head about 2 weeks ago and I'm Sold on it- Catching a lot of bass on it!!!
Glad to hear it!
I love the ZMAN SMH Worm, and the Floating worm, and I count rocks and it’s so cool to get a little stuck and then pop it off the rock🔥🥳🔥🎣 great to see you on the water and catching some solid bass🍀🎣🍀
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.
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!
Continued prayers for your family.
Thank you!
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.
It is my go-to confidence lure! Keep at it. It works if you like fishing slow like drop shot, ned rig, wacky.
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.
@@bassdojo3925 Yeah, I think I just need to fish it more. I love more of the finesse techniques and know this will help out. Thanks!
@@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.
@@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.
The SMH worm is the deal. Thank you Brian Lattimer and thank you Miles it's a go to technique when you fish some place you've never been.
You got that right!
Thanks Miles. Always enjoy your videos
I’m glad you enjoy them! Honored to have you as a viewer. Thanks!
Thanks Miles. Working on my shaky head game for sure. SMH ftw! ✌️
Always great when you demonstrate a technique and catch a fish.
Great content, becoming my favorite channel!
That’s a huge compliment. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Praying!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I need to get with it.
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?
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!
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
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.
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!
NOT USED ONE IN OUR DINGY OKLA WATERS. IS THE BITE LIKE A NORMAL WORM BITE OR DO THEY JUST SWIM OFF WITH IT?
Why not an open hook like on the ned rig?
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!
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
XZone worms also float and you can use them with a screw lock head.
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! 😂
twist lock sucks in my opinion
