I bought some quarter oz. shakey heads last week and I haven't fished them yet. What depth/structure would be best for fishing them and what style plastic would be the best to slap on there? A craw/creature? Thanks.

You can put anything on a shakey head. I usually put on a zoom baby brush hog,  zoom trick worm,  ragetail rage craw, big bite baits kriet kreature, berkley curly tail worms.. Worms work really well. Finesse worms, senko style worms, tailed worms, any worm. Any plastic could be put on a shakey head and catch fish, but worms excel as the shakey head design allows a worm to sit upright and create a shivering action when it sits still on the bottom. I fish in small ponds so I don't know what depth works best but I fish from the shallowest water to the deepest in the pond, 1ft to 6-8 ft. Structure wise I fish it in anything that looks bassy: lily pads, grass, reed edges and just open water works well too.

 

Good luck

Anything goes on a shakeyheaed, but a 4.5 inch Zoom finesse worm, motor oil/chartreuse tip or GP chartreuse tip goes best

I use zoom finese worms and lizards on shakey heads and i cast them everywhere.Best for me is probably shallow around banks and structure with a super slow retrieve.

The mega strike shakey head has been my go to this summer. They are far and away the best on the market. I have been having some very good days on them with a finicky tickler by power team lures in green pumpkin. I am fishing them in 12 to 18 feet of water. Let the fish tell you want they want you can shake it, drag it slowly, hop it or even swim it. One very effective lure when bass are in the summer pattern. Hope this helps.

Last 3 weeks I'm killing em on MM III

I like a 1/4oz. in deeper water or windy days , otherwise 1/8th oz. allows bass to see it a little longer on the fall where you will often get bit before hitting bottom . Therefore don't think of a shakyhead as just a bottom bouncer - get yourself some 1/8th oz. shakyheads to try !

5" Hags Tornado....stands at right up because it floats

I like floating finesse worms like Roboworms and Iovino hand pours in 6" straight tails. However lately the Yamamoto Cali-roll spade tail worm in baby bass has been good.

I use the GYB 3 3/4" craw on an owner ultra shakey 4/0 head and it works beautifully. The plastic fits perfectly on this hook.

I always have luck with Aarons magic and morning dawn.

Any finesse or trick worm will work. I like 1/8 oz or 1/4 oz at most to keep it a finesse technique. My favorite head is the Gama skip gap because you can rig anything on it without a problem. Screw lock heads are a pain with some baits.

I usually throw a Zoom trick worm but you can get creative and throw about anything. I'll throw it anywhere except for thick grass.

I have been throwing a Zoom Shakey Tail worm the last two years. They seem to draw strikes even when the bite is tough. It is a long, skinny worm with an exagerated curly tail. Now, a good deal of my fishing is in spotted bass waters, but largemouth will inhale them too. My favorite color is green pumpkin and I dip the tail in chartreuse Spike-it. I will also throw this worm on a T Rig, especially in the fall. I'll stroke it way up off the bottom near deep dock poles, brush and other deeper structure. 75% of the strikes will come as it flutters back to the bottom. Zoom Shakey Tail.
