Best Floating Worm for Shakey Head?

Put them in a bucket of water.  They sink.

Just checked my trick worms again.  Funny phenomenon is that you are right about them sinking when you drop them into a bucket of water. (my kitchen sink).  But, when I rig one on a shaky jig and the jig sinks to the bottom, the tail of the worm floats up.  Can't explain that but, it's why I said they floated in the first place.

Try the Reins bubbling shaker. It's bouyant and the ribbed rings trap air causing it to rise / float. Not the most durable worm, but most really good producers aren't. I've had good success with it. Give it a try - 

They are great.  I fish them on a 1/16oz-2/0 Keitech shakey head jig and have very good luck.  They also work great weightless fished like a fluke.  They are pretty fragile though, and panfish seem obsessed with biting their tails off. 

I almost exclusively shaky head in the winter and the Kicker Fish high tail worms are by far the most productive.
