How To Fish A Shaky Head - Everything You Need To Know! (Beginner To Advanced)
Every bass fisherman should know how to fish a shaky head. We're going to give you the beginner basics, as well as some very advanced information on head shapes, line ties, worms, and creatures. Whether you're a brand new angler or a tournament pro, there is information here that will help you catch more fish!
If you just want to catch a few fish on a shakey head, a basic head and a 6" straight tail worm will almost always get the job done. But if you're ready to jump down the rabbit hole with us, we look at 4 factors when choosing our heads. The head style, the hook brand (and shape), the keeper system, and the line tie. When it comes to baits we look at bait size, color, tail shape, and ability to float.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and heads discussed in the video. We've included sizes, exact color recommendations, and any other pertinent information to help you make your best selections. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
