The flick shake, flea flicker, etc etc is just another method of wacky rigging.  It's normally associated with fishing a little deeper.  Weightless wacky rigs fall fairly slowly, this just helps you get down to the depth you want a little quicker.  It's one of my favorite ways to fish.  There are people on the forums though that will tell you to just use a weightless wacky rig and let it fall.  It really depends on the situation you're using it in.  Another option if you need a very light weight, is to take your hook and crimp on a small split shot, or clam weight to the shank.

There must be no fish where your fishing, a 4" Senko rigged wacky on a flick it head will catch TONS of fish. I am not beeing a wise guy either............you must be fishing in a totaly fishless area, or fishing the thing way too fast or something. when I have a guy in my boat that has never caught fish, been fishing, or even what a bass is I give him that rig w/either a small senko, or finesse worm and they put fish in the boat.

If your using a senko, I just cast it out, let it sink on slack line. DON"T move it for a few seconds after it hits the bottom, then lift the bait of the bottom shake it a time ot two, then let it sit again for a few seconds. No bite, reel it in and cast it some where else. With a straight tailed finesse or trick style worm I do the same, but I usually give a shake or 2 on the the way down.

I guess my take on it is a little different.  The "flick" fishing is usually something that gets be downrelatively quickly to produce a reaction strike.  Shake it a couple times when you're down and let it be for a second or two.  No strike, I usually don't fish it back. 

A whacky, I cast, let it drop, pop it up, let it drop, all the way back to the boat.

Fishing a flick, I'm usually targeting specific spots of cover and structure, usually not the case when I'm fishing a whacky, it's more a general pattern for me.
