Fishing With a Shaky Head Lure - by Ted Thurman
If you follow pro bass fishing at all, or have read any recent fishing magazines, you have probably heard the term “shaky head” thrown around quite a bit. Shaky head jigs have become very popular in bass tournaments in the last two years or so, and have been gaining popularity with the public since. You might be wondering, “What is a shaky head and why is it so popular?” That's great because that’s exactly what I’m about to explain.
The simple description of a shaky head would be: a lead jig with a worm or some other flexible lure on it. When the lead end sinks to the bottom, the tail of the worm floats upwards. You jiggle the bait gently and the end with the lead sinker hops around, landing in crevices, while the tail end bobs through the water twitching, jiggling and generally attracting the attention of some really nice bass. If you don’t get a bite in a minute or two, then you move the lure a little and repeat.
It’s so popular because it works - period. It’ll work when other stuff just won’t. The weather has less influence on shaky head fishing than top-water and other types of lures. You’re going to have a lot more luck in heavily pressured fishing areas with this as well. Other reasons for the growing popularity of the shaky head include the fact that it’s simple to understand, easy to use and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to get started. No wonder it’s becoming such popular bait!
Here are the basics to shaky head fishing: (by the way, for pictures and video explanations you can visit my page at ShakyHeadJig.com.)
- You want a lead jig that has the tie on at an angle to the hook. Anywhere from 45 to 90 degree angle is fine. You just don't want it straight with the hook.
- You want a little distance between the tie on and the ball head (about 1/8 of an inch or so should be fine). This helps you get a more natural movement of the lure when you move your rod.
- Of course, the tail of the worm has to float upward. That's a very important point. It flags down all the bass in the area and draws them over.
- You also want a worm with a tail long and flexible enough to move a little with the undulation of the water currents.
So your strategy would be something like this: cast and let sink, shake your rod a little, wait a few, repeat. Then, if you don't get a response in a minute or two, move your lure just a little and try again... To move your lure, you want to simply pull it upward a little in a sharp motion and it will quickly sink again. This will help get attention from bass that are a little further away and draw them closer. Then start the shake and wait routine again.
That's it! You're on your way to be best bass fishing of your life! Please go to my page and email me with any comments or questions you may have. Good luck and Fish On!

Heads Deacon, Tails Devil $30.69 Set in a small town in the early 1900's, Heads Deacon Tails Devil is the story of Robert Grant, an elementary school teacher and long-standing deacon and spirit-stirring soloist at Nazarene Baptist Church, who shows his best side to his adoring, unsuspecting public, but is the devil incarnate at home. Rachel Grant, who, as a young woman, married Robert against her mother's advice and was sorry for it from her wedding night on, tries her best to shield herself and her five children from Robert's devil side. But, Rachel's strong and wise mother, Mom Maggie, has to step in. With her prophetic gifts, cunning and mother-wit, Mom Maggie fights Robert every step of the way and tries to give her daughter and grandchildren a happy, normal life. As he becomes increasingly frustrated with his ability to control his family and his life, Robert's devil side grows stronger, and Rachel and the children suffer horribly because of it. Blaming Rachel, the children and Mom Maggie for anything he doesn't like about his life, Robert turns to other women to ease his mental and physical needs. As Robert tries to destroy one life in hopes that another will satisfy him, Mom Maggie and Rachel plan to show Robert that the devil "is" a liar. |

Heads or Tails (Paperback) $29.5 The creator of 2008`s acclaimed graphic novel The Lagoon ? named to many annual critics` lists including Publishers Weekly and USA Today`s Pop Candy ? is back with a stunningly designed and packaged collection of some of the most poetic and confident short fiction being produced in comics today. Carr `s elegant short stories read like the gothic, family narratives of Flannery O`Connor or Carson McCullers, but told visually. Poetic rhythms ? a coin flip, a circling ferris wheel ? are punctuated by elements of melancholy fantasy pushed forward by character-driven, naturalistic dialogue. The stories in Heads Or Tails display a virtuosic breadth of visual styles and color palettes, each in perfect service of the story, and range from experimental one-pagers to short masterpieces like ?The Thing About Madeline? (featured in The Best American Comics 2008), to graphic novellas like ?The Carnival? (featured in David Sedaris` and Dave Eggers` 2010 Best American Nonrequired Reading, originally published in MOME). |
