So as of right now I'm a huge fan of shakeyheading after this winning money in a tournament on them, almost catching my biggest bass ever(came off boatside:/ ) and just how well they seem to work. Any way currently I like throwing Flirts in both sizes but I'm curious. Can y'all recommend a good hook brand that works well, I've used picasso, owner, and vicious and i have some big bites and lake fork ones i'm gonna try this weekend. Also are there any other types of trick worm like lures y'all recommend that I should give a try? I used zoom trick worms and netbait trick worms at the tournament before. Thanks.

Throw some Hag's Tornadoes and hold on

i like putting power worms on my shakyheads. 7 in. mostly depending on water conditions.

The Bite-Me jig heads are good. I think Strike King is making them now, but those were awesome. Really simple looking but very effective.

Cant go wrong with Chompers Shakyheads, i love them! You should try the hags and LFT twitch.

When Shakey fishing do yall drag the bait or hop it or what? I have never fished shakey but from from the looks of it I need to learn how.

Depends what the fish want. I use a lot of techniques. Sometimes i cast it and just let it sit and slowly drag it. However sometimes it needs more action so i let it sit and then twitch it. When i use it im always sure to let it sit. That way when that worm is up it can have that action the water gives.

strikeworks pro shakey head hooks are awesome! needle sharp!

hags or grandebass ringworms work well on them.

The big bite ones are pretty stout

And watch half of your worm fly off when you cast like has happened to me on several different occasions with Hag's.

Its all I throw in both the 4" and 5" and have never had one do that and i fish a shakey head ALOT! I think YOU have got a problem rigging it.

Big problem, I fish them all the time on a Shakeyhead and they do not come off even if I cast them!!

there are some individuals that pour and paint them here on the forum...thats the best route to go in my opinion because you can get them made exactly how you want them.

both great people and good products.

First of all it depends how heavy of a line you are using. If you are using a light line you need a thin wired hook. The reason is the hook pentrates better with the light line. It you are using a heavy line say 17lb test or above you need a little thicker wired hook. Just because you can set the hook harder. As far as a worm goes. It is what you feel confidence in. Usually highly pressured lakes I go with a smaller worm. If fish are a little more aggressive I go with a bigger worm.
