shaky head rig night fishing?

Featured Replies

I fished one at dusk once and I had about 3 fish in 10 casts. Not so bad for never fishing it before.

Try a Spot Remover jig head but replace the typical shacky head worm with a 4" lizard.  The extra action helps in the low light but you can still fish it stationary like a typical shakey head worm.

I have had luck using it at night, I fish a Charlie Brewer slider worm or Yum craw.

Here is the jig I use

Though you may have some success with a small shaky head at night I feel like there is alot better choices for this time of day. I only get so many hours a week to fish or to find fish for my Tx so I throw what I feel gives me the best chance to catch a limit. Bigger profile baits seem to produce better. C Rig Zoom Monster, U Tale, Big Lizzard, Brush Hogs. That being said one of my favorite baits at night is a 1/2 Spot Remover paired with a Ultra Vibe speed craw,hog or 6" Senko. Though this is a shaky head I fish it more like a regular jig. These baits offers a good fall rate with alot of bulk. IMO

They work good at night dragging them in and around brushpiles and nearby docks w/ lights. This gets real good in july and august once the water gets hot and even the night feeders are picky. I use the 1/4 oz. bite-me heads for working the edges and dock post, usually with a black or red-bug trickworm. If this doesnt work or there are alot of shade in the area while i am there, I will use a 1/4 spot remover with an original Zoom fluke(small, solid body) cut a 1/4 off the nose. I will throw it and let it drop straight down into the cover(especially a loose brushpile) i am fishing which most of the time is 6-10ft deep and comes up almost to the surface.....I bump up my tackle to a MH spinning rod w/ 12lb P-line CX....
