  • When you are bass fishing and you just have to catch a fish, this is a rig to reach for. I show you how to fish a shaky head jig. It is a great finesse fishing technique for catching size and numbers. I have won a lot of money using these tips and techniques.

    Gene wanted to thank you for teaching me how to fish. I had no luck for months and finally caught my first bass this week, not one but three. The largest one I caught was right at 3 lbs and I let my 4 yo daughter reel it in as it was her first time fishing. Now we are both hooked!

    Does my heart good to see someone else try to cast before first opening the bail :). I’m assuming when you get a bite they smack it since you’re on a slack line.

I get my boat in 4 days and can't wait to put some of the knowledge I got from your vids to the test. Keep up the good work bro. I like your vids the best of anyone's out there. I've been a bass fisherman my whole life and would love the opportunity to fish with you someday.

I know exactly what I've been doing wrong now. I've watched other vids on this subject but nobody seems to explain things well enough for me to grasp ths technique properly.

    Hey Gene! Found some Shakey Heads in my tackle bag. That I bought last year. I don't jig fish much. But love Texas rig wrinkle worm fishing. Something I learned from Dad! So I decided this week to give Shakey Heads a try. I also found some straight worms in Black color. I just bought a Quantum Smoke HD reel in 7 to 3 ratio. I will probably go with a spinning combo. But, will put it on a baitcaster combo too. Just to see and feel the difference. Really can't wait to try your techniques on the water. It's early May 2023. Spawning time in Indiana. Thanks, Gene. Your videos are really helpful! Shawn.

I had seen another vid of yours that I really loved because you took the time to show the bait and explain it. It really helped to get the extra info and I love that you don't assume I know what you're talking about and just glaze over stuff. Thanks so much. I know this vid is 2 years old, but you're still teaching! :)

    Great tutorial. I fish rocky lakes and when my dropshot isnt working I can usually get them with a shakey head. One thing I dont think you covered in the video is using floating worms, I catch a lot more fish when using the z man floating, KVD or squirrel tail worms, that floating action really grabs attention even when you arent shaking it.

    I’ve been using Hyper Braid yellow 30 lb. test on a spinning rod and reel. I take a black magic marker, and black out about two rod lengths of line. The water I fish is not that murky but not clear. It’s an 83 acre reservoir. Mainly go wacky rig for skipping. I catch fish with this when nothing else is working.

    Have to agree I love using a shaky head it just flat out catches em and you can catch big fish as well as numbers and from my experience the size of the worm doesn’t seem to matter for me but the best shaky head for dirty water I have used is the big bite coontail worm

    I just got into using casting gear for shakey head fishing. I'm using a ewg 4/0 or 5/0 1/8oz with 15lb leader on 30lb braid, fishing around weed lines and timber on medium heavy moderate 7ft rod. feels crazy nice. then for a bit more line sensitivity and feel of what is going on I'll use 10lb braid to 10-12lb mono leader in stained water or 6-10 in clear water I'll use fluoro. then I'll use the betkley 7inch or it's step down I think it's the 5 inch shakey head worm. in green pumpkin color. and both setup are great. the casting rod is great for the power so I can work weed lines and not fear if I get pulled into the weeds I'll be able to get fish out. then in more open water I'll switch to the 7ft medium, moderate fast with 10lb braid and that 6-12leader for a bit deeper fishing and wow.

    Hey Gene. The tendinitis in your elbow is likely Tennis Elbow. If you wear a wrist brace when not fishing and ice the outside of your elbow several times a day it will get better. Also look up Tennis Elbow stretches on-line. Begin the stretches once it starts to calm from the rest and icing. Good Luck. Oh yeah, thanks for the vids.

    I know there are some drawbacks but have you ever tried switching the handle of your spinning reels to the right side. I do that most of the time so I'm reeling with the same hand as my bait casting reels. Casting would take a little time to get used to but may help with hooksets!

    A Shaky head is one thing I end up using, and have confidence in. I like throwing elaztech worms from zman, and I did get some from strike king. I have used and landed fish on 4" straight tail, finesse worms, in green pumpkin, and tried a 7" worm in june bug only once, probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. I did order some in different colors a few weeks ago, which I'll be trying out. Sometimes I'll throw these same 4" worms t-rigged weightless, through pads and weeds for topwater action. I mostly rig the worms on 1/8 oz eagle claw lazer shaky head jigs, that have a collar instead of the screw lock. I did get some 1/4 oz ones, but haven't used them much. I fish these on ML,L, or UL rods, that have enough backbone for soft plastic fishing, with BFS(UL baitcasting) reels, and either 6, 8, or 10 lb braid.

    Added the Shakeyhead to my repertoire and it has produced when I needed it to. The one thing I will add is that while fishing shallow laydowns is that I seem to get the fish to bite most when it is slightly hung up and shake it pretty hard to get it loose. The fish attack it as soon as it comes free.

    New subscriber and still fairly new to bass fishing from a boat. Definitely like the videos. My question and I see it on several videos what is the purpose of having a leader tied to your braided line?

      Multiple reasons. Line visibility, saves you from respooling braid constantly, more sensitivity on slack line and depending on the type of cover your fishing fluorocarbon is more abrasion resistant than braid. Im sure there are other and more in depth reasons but that is the basic rundown
