Best shakey head worms?

Featured Replies

Looking for a killer shakey head worm. I'd prefer a floating worm where the tail would stand straight up to get their attention. How are the 6th Sense Divine Shakey head worms heard good things about them. Any shakey head hooks recommendations would also be greatly appreciated thanks. 

I use roboworm and netbait. 

Net.

Bait.

T.

Mac.

I use 3 worms for most shakyhead fishing.

1: zoom trick worm. It is my go to worm.

2: zoom shakyhead worm. I use this when I want a little more finesse. It has a skinnier tail than the trick worm.

3: yum dinger. I use this in stained water. It has a thicker profile.

 

If I want the worm to standup while resting, I switch from a shakyhead to a Neko rig using one of the above worms.

I like the look of those tunes, @roadwarrior!  I've never thrown a tube, and a shakyhead might give me some confidence with them.

Netbait Tmac for me!  Also a zoom uv speed craw.

Don't leave out the Powerbait Bottom Hoppers the standard ones not the "fattys", Awesome shakyhead worm.

I use Zoom trick worms the most for shakey heads.

Don’t forget Elaztech worms.

I'm not an avid shaky head  fisherman but I do like a Manns Jelly worm on one . 

Grande Bass Air tail wiggler

6th Sense Divine Shakey Worm and their Ridge Worm are awesome. I’ve caught  multiples over 3lb. with both.

 

Netbait T MAC are awesome too. Love the bama bug color.
 

Zoom trick worms work too, but I’ve had less success vs those others.

+1 ... Robo FAT worm 6" is a very good shaky head worm , also the Netbait T-Mac 6.5" worm is very good on a shaky head ... I have Zoom Trick worms still which I have used as shaky head worms in the past - but they have now been sent down to the AAA farm team (son's tackle box) where they can continue to see some playing time . I also like Z-Man's 7" straight tail worm  as the elaztech material floats the tail well .

‘Floating’ worms are popular on shaky heads, such as the Strike King 3x Worm, Z-Man 10x Wormz

and Berkley Bottom Hopper Worm. However, a true floating worm exerts a constant upward pressure

on the bait, whereas a ‘neutrally buoyant’ worm has no directional influence.

Coupled with a spherical jighead, a neutrally buoyant worm enjoys freedom of movement in all directions.  

 

Neutrally buoyant worms include the Roboworm Fat Straight-tail Worm, Netbait T-Mac Worm,

Strike King Fat Baby Finesse Worm and Brewers Slider Worm. Among the most popular

neutrally buoyant shaky worms is the robot-poured ‘Roboworm Fat Straight-tail Worm’,

and its staunch rival the “Netbait T-Mac Worm”. As it happens, a Roboworm Fat Straight-tail Worm

costs about 2½ times more than a Netbait T-Mac Worm, but is nowhere close to 2½ times more effective.

Consequently, my personal favorite shaky worm is the “Netbait T-Mac Worm”.

T-Mac, trick worm, 6” jelly worm, regular size swamp crawler.

 

all of these are killer.

Zoom Trick worm and Finesse worm.  The SK KVD Finesse worm is also very good.  Siebert Outdoors has a tungsten shakey head  that is outstanding.  

The Havoc bottom hopper is my favorite floater, moves with the slightest twitch or current. The Zoom Shakey Head, with its taper is another that has a lot of movement, but isn't a floater.

I keep it simple...I don't know where to find half of these worms mentioned, but I love Zoom Trick Worms. I like black, pink, watermelon red, and green pumpkin. 

My favorite shakeyhead Worms

 

- Mann’s Jelly Worm

- Roboworm 7” straight tail

- Uptons straight tail, dragontail

- Bass Chow 9” Booger Worms (BEST!!)

Not to hijack, but what's your guys' favorite shaky head jig head? I hear people say Siebert's has a good one. We talking about the Zenith or another?
