Many touring pros have dubbed it shaky head fishing but Guido Hibdon likes to call it jig worm fishing. Find out why inside.

I've always understood shaky head as being a specific, or narrowly-defined type of jigworm fishing, involving specific kinds of heads, baits and technique (in particular, shaking a straight-tailed worm, standing up), whereas jigwormin' would include shaky head, but also a wider variety of heads, baits  and techniques (hopping, dragging, swimming,). Is that how other people understand it?  I fish worms on shaky heads and other jig heads all the time to great effect, but I don't do the "shaking" part much; rather, I do it much more the way the article describes.

Good article for sure. Thanks for sharing Glenn.
