Shakeyhead and Fluke question - 03/31/18 08:31 PM

I have two questions that I hope havent been beaten to death.

What colors are the tried and try for the shakeyhead in clear water or in muddy?

How do you rig your Fluke?
Thank you in advance

Can’t help with shakeyhead question. Don’t fish one too much but when I do, it’s just a normal jig head and worm. No secret.
Title said fluke question but I didn’t see one.

I use a Grande Bass baby rattlesnake in ssabednarg color in clear or muddy water on every lake I fish. Haven't found anything better.

Sure ssabednarg, lol. That really is a color, it's grandebass spelled backwards and they are fish catching son-of-guns. Try'em if you can find'em.

Don’t fish a shakey head in muddy water. It is a visual lure.

Watermelon or green pumpkin fluke rigged with a swivel and 18" leader. I use a small split shot or two, depending on wind and water conditions.

I fish a fluke weightless on a 4/0 wide gap hook. Same set-up for my "senkos", so easy to swap baits on same rig. If I stick with the fluke, I do like BNK and add a swivel in-line to prevent line twist.

YouTube "Double Fluke Rig". That's a fun rig to throw if you get into some schoolers.

Fluke weightless on 4/0 hook. Baitfish or watermelon red

Shakyhead 1/8oz Green pumpkin, watermelon red, red shad are my go to colors. Red shad works for me in dirtier water, but I haven't tried in muddy water

I guess the good thing about bass fishing is that everyone has a little different take on things. I fish a shaky head in muddy water all the time. Especially this time of year. Shaky head pitched around heavy cover with a black and blue or black and red craw or creature bait will get you bit.

Me too. Actually all lures are visual lures.

LOL, wow, crazy that not even the basics are understood on a bass fishing forum. Ever heard of night fishing?

Shaky head: 1/8 oz. jig head with a 4" Yum Dinger, green pumpkin with chartreuse tail. This green pumpkin color is quite a bit darker than other brands and the chartreuse tip is very bright. My go-to bait!

I have never gotten bit on that color but their Trophy Hunter color is one of my top go to colors. I have the trophy hunter color in everything they make. I even made me some jig skirts to match their trophy hunter craw craw.

Do you mostly use craws and creature baits on a shaky head?

This time of the yr seems like the craw and creature baits work better than the worm type baits most days. However, if you look a the whole yr I use a zoom trick work on a shaky head more than probably any other plastic. Just have to figure out what they want on a given day.

Shakey head clear water go with watermelon red or something natural like that, muddy water go with black or maybe green pumpkin with the tail dipped in chartreuse

I think fishing a Fluke weightless T rigged on a 3/0 hook is tough to beat. But I've also caught plenty of fish t rigging and c rigging one too
