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.

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?

Re: Shakeyhead and Fluke question - 04/02/18 12:18 PM
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
