Not really into finesse fishing, but tried the shakey head, was catching fish on a steady basis then broke on off, instead of tying on a green head I put on an unpainted head. Never got bit for a couple of hours, put back on a green head and began to get bit. This is a great way to catch MLF’rs (12 inch fish)

I do see a significant difference with different colored worms though. For now, I’m using painted owners, cause that’s what they had at academy. I don’t really have a preference on color, but I only use owners or YeahBabee brand hooks. Yeah Babee comes in all colors…even red shad or blue. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Thanks in advance I haven't hung one up yet but I've only really used it where there is some scattered/broken concrete. I'll report back after I fish some nasty rip-rap.

Goto technique in 16 to 25 feet of water on ledges. 3/8 or 1/2oz head depending on current and wind on 17# fluro. 10" Zoom mangnum finesse worm in black or junebug. BUNCHES of 4 to 6 pounders. Almost never a fish under 3.
