How effective is putting a zoom trick worm on a mega strike shake2 head??? The hookup ratio seems bad as the shakey head's hook barely reaches far . It hooks only in the top of the worm

Thanks

My number 1 bait for a shakey head is the trick worm.  When they open their gills, they suck the whole thing in, don't worry about the length of hook!

Thanks. That's what I'm going with this evening if my chartreuse spinnerbait fails me

I use them all the time in that shakey head, works great

Show us a photo of how you hook them up.

Are you using the screw lock or the other thingy muh Bob that's built on the hook? I prefer the screw lock....

I make my own shaky heads and use a few different style worms and I can tell you that using too big of a hook will hurt the action on the worm. Bass very seldom grab the tail, most of the time they inhale the whole bait, a 3/0 hook in a shaky head is perfect for 5" and 6" straight tail worms.

I'll get a photo when I get the chance

Ok, Great 

Trick worms is what I use 90% of the time on a shake head.

The others are roboworms and zman finesse, which are the same, but slightly different.

Perfect!

Yep, looks good to me too!

Y'all need to look at Bass Assassin's Tapout Worm!

If I know the fish are aggressive or It's a big fish place I tend to use a larger bait like the trick worm. If a more finesse approach Is needed I tend to throw a Zoom finesse worm, a 4" dead ringer, or a R.I. smallie beaver.

99% of the time I dedícate to shakeyheading the worm you'll see is a Trickworm. ( there used to be a time when that worm was a Jelly Worm ).

To me there is none better than the trick worm for the shaky head.

It just plain works.

So ya'll just rig it up, throw it out and hop and wiggle it in rocky conditions? i'm trying my hardest to get bites with that now

I tend to throw It In most, note I say most, conditions that I would throw a tx-rig. The retrieves I use vary according to the places I fish. For example, In brush I tend to shake It as I do under a dock. On a laydown I walk It right down the entire length of the tree until the end and then just shake It. There are many possibilities with regards to retrieves, don't pigeon-hole yourself with what some think Is the "only" presentation for a shakeyhead. 

 

I tend to use a 3/16 Zenith shakeyhead from Siebert Outdoors simply because I feel It can be used in a variety of situations but will go lighter or heavier depending on the need. 

My favorite setup!!

It's killer on Calling Panther! Caught a couple nice fish there this morning on a shakey head w/ trick worm

In my opinion the best bait on a shaky head is a Senko style bait on the Shaky head. I get them poured with no salt.
