Gunna start fishing the shaky head.  What's the best setup in terms of a great jig head and worm that's buoyant and really catches bass?

My favorite would be a 6'6" compre rod with a 2500 series shimano reel. I use 8lb Trilene XL, I like the Gamakatsu Skip Gap Shaky head in 1/8oz I also like the lunker shaky heads too. Not a fan of the Lucky "E" Strike ones and the hooks are pretty much blunt. The owner ones are good too. If I was you look for a lighter wire hook. I have had better luck with those than the heavier ones.

For the worm I like to use the Powerbait "Bama Bug" 5" shaky worms. Zoom Shaky Head worms in your usual colors. I like the Mardi Gras and Watermelon colors the best.

That's what I use. I have caught about 70% on my bass on the above set-ups this pre-spawn  8-)

Jighead: Custom made 1/8th oz, football head w/ screwlock , wide gap Owner hook

Worm: Berkley Power Bait Shaky Worm OR Strike King Super Finesse worm

Rod: G Loomis GLX SHR822S Shaky Head rod

Reel: Pflueger Supreme 8030MG

Line: Sunline Sniper fluorocarbon 8#

Right when I started fishing the shakey head I used a 1/4 oz. Buckeye Lures Spot Remover the Pro Model version paired with a Yamamoto Pro Senko. I caught fish on this set-up but I recently switched to experiment with different stuff and I glad I did!

Now I use a 1/8 Strike King Pro Model shakey head jig and a Zoom Shakey Tail in green pumpkin.  I catch fish on this thing anywhere I go and the two are a match made in Heaven. 

I don't know what makes the set-up so much better than the other one but theres definitly a difference.

I'm a fan of two different set ups for different water types.  I REALLY like the SK 3x on a SK head around here.  For many other areas that I fish I'm becoming quite fond of a standup football head and Zoom Trickworm.  I've also been fishing a Northland Shakey Worm here lately that's been producing fish over the Zoom.
