Can anyone explain to me how to fish a shakey head rig please

You stick a soft plastic bait (usually a Trick Worm or similar bait), on a jig head, and fish it by working it into your target area, and stopping where you want it, and twitching your rod tip to give the bait a dancing in place effect. It's killer, and I found that lizards work pretty sweet for this as well.

Great advise. 8-) I read about it for a year or two before giving it a chance. :-? When fishing is slow it has become my go-to technique. Some will say that as a finesse technique it is more of a small fish bait. This has not been my experience. My biggest fish so far this year was taken on a Zoom Trickworm/1/8 oz Spot Stalker shakey head. Good luck.

what do you do with your rod tip while your fishing do you treat it like a texas rig or drag it or what? Thanks for the help do far.

all of the above, I mix it up. sometimes I drag, some times i hop it. this is probably been my most productive bait to fish this year.

yes, you can fish it like a normal jig, as you described. but also try shaking it in place. a soft tip will make this easier. try to rock the jig a little and pause. this will cause the tail to shake. practice in shallow clear water where you can see the bait.

i also like the Shake2 jig recommend above.

I usually keep the rod between ~30-45 degrees (from horizontal). Shaking it while trying to keep it in place, and/or shaking it while dragging it along works well. Hop it, pop it , it's all good.
