The Shaky Head: "HOW TO FISH" Rigging, Rod/Reel, and TIPS!!!

Have you ever used a shaky head? Today I'll discuss how I rig a shaky head, the combos I fish it on, how it compares to other popular finesse techniques, and lastly we'll discuss how to fish it. The shaky head is a lot more versatile than a lot of people think. Different jig heads, plastics, and ways of using the rig can make all the difference. Thanks for watching feeshin friends!

[@kylestone274]

I'm a beginner and I really enjoy watching your videos. You can tell fishing is something that you truly love to do and gets me excited to keep learning. Thanks for the great videos!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I do love to fish. I'm glad you enjoy my content man. Good luck this year 👊

[@shawnmoniz6617]

Great info. I haven’t used the shaky head enough, but I am now armed with the know-how to give it a better shot. Thanx as always.

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man, hope it helps out!

[@rafabonati7757]

It’s fun to learn fishing techniques. I have fished my whole life, but have learned more in this past year than the rest of my years together. And Debo, you have been part of this learning curve. Bought shaky heads last year and can’t wait to use them more. I might try the ManBearPig in Tramp Stamp on them this season. Or a Buffalo Wild Wing.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome man! I agree, learning and trying new stuff is half the fun. I'm glad my vids have helped man. Yes, I bet the MBP would be awesome on one. Save the wings for me 🤣

[@junolegend9045]

I actually searched for Buffalo Wild Wing at Tackle Warehouse lol Never know these days js

[@telemarkmann6870]

Debo, I could go the whole season and only throw a shaky head with different trailers. I am confident no matter where I am and what the conditions I would still catch fish. Not because I am that good but because the bait is so versatile as you pointed out. The different shapes of the heads, the different weights and you can use almost every type and style of plastic on the market. As a result all of these combinations make up unique rigs that have different characteristics. I have tiny trout sized heads up to the standard 1/16, 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8 oz heads. I do not go any larger I love finesse fishing. 3,4 and 5 inch Senko’s were my standards for quite some time. Reaction Innovations Smallie Beaver and the standard version have been primary trailers when I am slow dragging the bottom. I have recently fell in love with Z-Man products both of the TRD’s have produced some quality fish. The Big TRD in PB&J has caught my largest fish and I mean multiple large fish.

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're 100% correct! It's a rig that can do a a lot of different things. Grass, wood, rock...it's not often that a lure can do all of that and not get hung up all of the time!

[@HomeGrownPyro1]

Did you fish the pb&j on a shakyhead or did you use the zman shrooms ned rig hooks for it?

[@TheDefiantClone]

“The more you shake and work it the less likely you will get a bite.” Have you been talking to my wife 😂

[@DEBOSFishing]

Bahahah...I'm not going anywhere near that 🤣🤣🤣👊

[@reecealt4208]

Thanks so much awesome video needed help just picked up some shaky heads for tougher days this spring

[@DEBOSFishing]

They are great for tough days! Thanks for watching 👊

[@mulletman49]

Man what a vid. I just realized that I don’t use the shakey head enough. Great presentation sir. Very good info.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Yeah, seems to get overshadowed by the new rigs sometimes!

[@holypokey47]

The airtail wiggler has become my go to. Another trick is with the straight shank ball heads rig the worm with a little “bow” in it and it’ll spiral on the fall. Works good sometimes around docks.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yessir, the Wiggler is money! Nice, throwing a little bend in it!

[@meltolson2180]

This video reminds me I still use the reel you gave me for finesse fishing.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahah nice man! Thanks for sticking with my channel this whole time!

[@N5KDA]

Great advise, I believe most people over work shaky heads, ned rigs, and drop shots. Many fish in my area won't hit a moving piece of plastic, but suck it off the bottom after movement stops. Hits on the fall only seem to come from the most aggressive fish.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I still have a tendency to overwork them. Frustration and impatience seem to make me shake the rod like a can of paint 🤣

[@jmrtx281]

I have been fishing freshwater for only a year now (weekend’s only) but I have notice that the shaky head works really well for me early in the morning, these will help me out a lot for 2020, thank you Debo, great video also

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome man! They are great when the sun comes up and they move to cover as well. Docks, shade, trees!

[@stormyelvis684]

Hey Debo!! Miles here. Just wanted to tell you Truthfully, I watch Utube videos about 5 to 6 hours Everyday. Your videos by Far are the Most Informative than ANY of the others, Seriously!! I'm the same guy that asked you about putting tape on before spooling Braid / Florocarbon on my bait casting reels, I've heard on different channels do it this way, do it that way. I would just like to do it the way you do it. Keep up the Tremendous videos my Friend 🙂

[@jeffreykwasnaza2279]

Another great video! Justed searched for videos yesterday on shaky heads and just saw yours. Keep it up!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome, good timing I guess! Hope it helps out man!

[@josephhillman8831]

Baby brush hog on a shakey head is one of my favorite go to baits when bass are finicky light hook model works great !

[@hacking_life]

Great video Debo. I can't believe that I helped make this video. Great stuff. We went fishing last night and (since the wacky rig is my confidence bait) the wacky rig produced 2 fish. One 2lber and one new PB. We figured 6lbs (to lazy to use the scale). One more bite on the wacky. And a bite on the Berkley Pitboss. Wacky was a Bass Pro Shops Tournament series 4 & 1/2" Wacky Stik-o-worm in Junebug. Berkley Pitboss was a black and blue. New to the Shakey head. Never caught anything on it. Hoping that I can. Should have tried the TRD Crawz Ned rig last night. Awesome stuff!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for watching man. Versatile rig and you can try a number of different plastics! Good luck this year!

[@DustinFox.]

Ive been using the 1/16oz. Owners with the dry creek tubes makes them weedless and they come over chunk rock way easier caught two 4s during Christmas 🎣

[@DEBOSFishing]

Ohhh nice! The tubes are a forgotten lure it seems!

[@CobyMiller-xc1rz]

Never used a shakey rig before and very little experience with other soft plastic setups. This is great basic info for me to get started with. Thanks!

[@robertcwillifordii2630]

My FAV shakeyhead jig is the Buckeye Lures Pro Model. The flat face gives a SUPERB fluttering action when jerked, both up and on the fall. My favorite trailer is the Rzr Shad. It darts ever which way with each hard jerk, thanks to the flat face of the 3/16 jig. Bomb Cast Fall Sit Drag Sit Jerk (up) Fall Jerk (side sweep) Jerk (side sweep) 20lb test allows me to really rip it when I cast and jerk (imparting the best action to the lure). Reaction bites... love em.

[@tgbrown4689]

That was helpful, I’m stuck on the pegged Texas rig worm definitely will try the shake thanks for the great content man

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nothing wrong with that. The weighted texas rig is probably my most confident rig!

[@robertbain2435]

Wind chills in the single digits here today. I’m shaking my head!!!

As said before never done a lot of finesse fishing. Have recently picked up some shaky heads and some soft plastics. Lots of great info. Thanks a bunch 👍👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Hope the info helps. Good luck and catch some biggins!

[@mikebuniva6251]

Love how you cover all aspects of this type of fishing. Thanks. Only tried this method twice and after watching this video I realize I was fishing the shaky incorrectly. I plan on doing it right from now on. Way to go Debo.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Often times there isn't one right way. Make some changes and find what fits your style! Good luck man 👊👊👊

[@RadYOacTVe]

Great video Debo! I don't throw the shaky head as a lot of the ponds I fish have a lot of gunk on the bottom. I will put up with it when the bite gets tough. Like you, the Zoom finesse and Grandebass Airtails are my fav but I like the suggestion of trying the swimbait or beaver. The tip on not imparting too much action is spot on! We need to find a way to get your subs over 100k!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm glad the tips helped man. I've truly had days bouncing it with no bites...switched to just dragging it over rocks and it was game on! I'll get to 100K someday...hopefully 🤣👊

[@davidhair9173]

DEBO. great video. I fish the shaky head a little bit, but I've never caught anything yet. I get the feeling I'm working it too much or too fast. Since I'm new to the rig, I never know which style of shakey head hooks to buy, so I greatly appreciate the coverage on the various head and hook options. Explained it very well!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome! I'm happy to hear that this could help! It's great to lightly pop it on the bottom like a jig, drag it, or just toss it at high percentage targets!

[@buzzworth2396]

Now we're talking about my kind of fun. I do just like you said. Smaller set ups I go with spinning rod and reel set up. If I'm really going after a more vicious bite or fishing around serious brush piles where the fish have more girth, it's my baitcaster. I can use my spinning setup but I will break off alot easier. It's more more serious finessing involve but I don't want to keep retieing involved. Now I throw baby bushog on a luck E Strike football shakeyhead with a 1/4oz & 3.0 hook. I also use that Grande Bass worm we spoke about before. In spring bass here can be spooked real easy so I use baitcaster so I can get em out of there before they scare the others. I use Shakeyheads year round and I also use glass rattles alot. The fish here see the same ole same ole. I try to change it up. My favorite worm for Shakeyhead is a Big TRD worm and the XL TRD worms. They stand up all the time and are a mushier feel to the bite. Just my preference & most people think they are too expensive. I will glue them to the head of the football so they last longer. That trick worm you showed,.... I really like those too. They look awesome in the water. I'm going to try some of the worms you mentioned using on a Ned Rig. Those are perfect for the pond around the corner from me. They see alot of the same stuff. So time to throw something not favored. I wondered if you use scent on any of your baits??? I do but not always. Sometimes it is a must. I also started throwing a Bx Brat too. Not the bigger version like you see being advertised. It doesn't have rattles either. The silent model works like a dream. I really like it too. I do use 15lb test with it. I want it to stay shallow and be able to land that "Slaunch donkey" when she bites. I don't want to text a whole page but you are talking about my favorite method. Great video, btw.👊 I was waiting for one like this one!! Good stuff bruh 👌👌. Take care

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's great! I get excited like this talking about frog fishing. Gluing the plastic to the head of the jig is something I need to try too! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@buzzworth2396]

I just bought a new baitcaster. I bought a Abu Garcia Black Max 3. I know, I know but I got a killer deal on it!! $30 & it's still in the blister pack. I had one before. I retired my 82 Lew's Speed spool bb2. It was getting old and it was beginning to make noises I didn't feel good about. I recently changed careers and I have less income so I have to shop frugally. I'm thinking about getting a Thunder Cricket & a couple of swim jigs so I needed another baitcaster. One I could use with ease so I went with ole faithful gear. I'm putting it on a Daiwa rod though 😛. Gotta love for the one piece 7' casting rods they make!! Besides I got a couple of boxes of CDRs for the handycam so I can video some of my catches this year. Wish I could afford a 13 Fishing reel or a new Lew's but after everything got stolen during my divorce, I can only afford the less expensive. But, I'm not going to be persuaded to give up the one thing I love so dearly. I'm not fishing tournaments anymore so I'm going to keep learning & loving what I do. It keeps me centered. I know you know what I mean. You never know.... I might just show up in Iowa one of these days & look up someone to fish with. I never caught big Pike. Big Chain pickeral but not Pike!! Keep up the good work 🤘👍

[@jbirdfishes]

great tips as usual man. its like you knew i was on a string of finesse videos, shaky head being one of the main ones

[@DEBOSFishing]

[@anthonyreeder8283]

I fish the shaky head when I need something finesse and it’s maybe I’m somewhere new. You can power fish it but then you can slow it down. I really like the zoom finesse work it’s just a straight worm 5in.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yessir! Power fish it like a jig or really slow it down too!

[@buzzworth2396]

Gotta bit of study to share with you Debo. Strike King has a Super finesse worm that's made by ZMan. Of course it's ElaZtech material. And I didn't get much chance to see how it performs in the right conditions. What I did notice is there's a slight issue to deal with if you use a 1/4oz jighead with it for Shakeyhead applications. When casting these worms on 1/4oz or bigger they are going to stretch out & that will shorten your cast a great deal. When you use 3/16, it's a better weight and doesn't stretch out as bad. I have some VMC Rugby jigs coming in the mail Monday & they are all 1/16oz. These are a new one for me. They are not to be confused with the VMC swimming Rugby jigs. They are different and made to be fished like a shakeyhead. Definitely a good Finesse jig by all means. I've been looking for a EWG jighead that comes in a 1.0 or 2.0 size so I can Ned Rig with it. So far I'm using a Slider Spider jighead but it tends to have a more laid down look & it glides more than hops. Sometimes that presentation is perfect but I'm still on a quest for a good jighead with more of a mushroom head. Just thought I'd share that with you. And Discount Tackle.com is selling their Chatterbaits at almost 50% off. I have 3 of the Original models for $3.99 a piece coming Monday also. I saw where they have the Jack Hammer for$12.99 but I don't need that model. I get 3 original models for what it costs for just one of those 😲 so I had to get those. Just thought I'd share that bit of knowledge with you. With all the new tackle out, maybe it it's time for a video with covering the new stuff. Have a good weekend and I will be watching for your new video . Later my friend.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice grabs on some deals! I need to check out that website!

[@buzzworth2396]

@@DEBOSFishing the prices are great but the stock is not as big as the Discount Tackle Warehouse. The Chatterbait deals are sweet. I got my arsenal back up to parr. Now I'm waiting on the first full moon in March to happen & set these fish into a feeding frenzy

[@buzzworth2396]

@@DEBOSFishing I also found the Ned Rig hooks I was looking for. They are made by Lifted Jigs. They are all 1/0 size & alot of the sizes are being released on February 8th. They are $5.99 for 3 so I'm still looking to see what might be out there may be a lesser priced set up. But I did find em. The VMC RUGBY JIGS are too big to use for Ned Rig but they are great for Shakeyhead applications. The eye is recessed into the football shaped head so it does save the knot from being frayed. Still got to check the line for knicks and brushes that will infact cause you to break off. I enjoy watching the videos on painting crankbaits. Good stuff

Love a shaky head. Got me a lot of bites when I was a struggling beginner. I prefer a smaller finesse/trick worm or a good old stick bait. I've also had good luck with "cut tail" worms like the Buddha Baits Swagger Worm.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yessir! Great for beginners because they are weedless and can go in aot of different places. Yes, those cut tail worms are great!

[@onepunch9203]

Just took delivery of the Grande air-tail baits in 4 different colors. Rigged one in candy-watermelon to a shaky head with the screw keeper and played with it in a bucket of water. Man, that looks irresistible with that floating tail! It's pretty large (6" I think) so I think I might sometimes be cutting off maybe an inch or two when the bite is less than aggressive. Experimentation will be fun with these air-tails. Thanks, DEBO, for turning me on to them. Spring IS coming.....😎.....but not yet. 👍🏼

[@DEBOSFishing]

The air tails are awesome! Yep, bite an inch or two off and get even more finesse!

By far, my favorite worm is the straight tail Zoom shaky head worm, Mardi Gras color. I make my own flat bottom round head jigs with a Do-It mold. Smallmouth candy!! I have got to give a shout out to Charlie Brewer's slider worms, the original shaky head worm. They have been around since the 1970's and bass still love them.

[@buzzworth2396]

Wow, you mentioned Charlie Brewer's Slider worm system!! I had an opportunity to meet him on West point lake in Lagrange Ga. He & his wife were fishing and he caught a 11lb largemouth under the rail road bridge and I got a chance to see it up close. After his wife was finished video taping it he asked me to follow him to the ramp where he put in. When he came back from his truck he handed me a shoe box full of his hooks and worms. He was a huge influence on how I fish. He autographed a copy of his book for me and I read it numerous times. He passed away in 2001 I believe & his son took over the business. His whole family are good people and I can't say enough about him and his method. I've been teased alot when I fished tournaments because everyone called them my magic worm. I have caught 150+ in one day on bridge pylons and they weren't small ones at all. Thank you for mentioning Charlie and his method. I still use them when I get a chance to. I'm sure you know how successful they are

[@63Bare]

@@buzzworth2396 That must have been great to meet Charlie Brewer!! I've been using slider worms since the late 70's and they are still excellent fish catchers to this day. I read his book and watched his video many times. I always looked forward to his articles in Fishing Facts magazine too. The whirly bee is an awesome fish catcher as well. I'm headed out shortly to try for walleye and smallmouth and the whirly bee will be tied on for sure. Good luck to you and tight lines in 2020!!

@@DEBOSFishing I honestly can't stress how much that man's book and outlook on fishing made on me to this day. He always said to keep it simple and basic. He is right but fishing today is so different. These fish these days see everything the tackle industry has to offer. Sometimes it counts to change it up. Use Grande Bass baits. Something so abstract that they haven't seen before. Fixing to go & put my new Abu Garcia into fine tuning and see if I can find a hungry bass into biting. I haven't given it a good cast yet. I still have a good collection of Slider equipment and use it from time to time. The presentation still works everywhere I go. Hard to beat the black worm and using the Spider hook with it is a"ringer" in my opinion

Hey Debo lovely video really enjoyed it thanks for your advice and guidance keep up the good video's 👍👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome and thanks for watching 👊

[@billsutorius2753]

That video was awesome, I learned about shaky heads haven't used them yet I bought some, but I haven't had a chance. Thanks for your tips 👍🎣

[@dmorgan1307]

Good tips, thanks. I find myself fishing too fast trying to cover too much water when using these soft plastics. I'll try to slow it down and let the bait do the work like you mentioned. Then maybe...maybe i'll be able to land one this year.

[@DEBOSFishing]

You'll get on some! Stay after them my man!

[@johnguilianelli8306]

Love the shaky head just got some of those air tail worm can't wait to try them

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome! Those Airtail worms are awesome!

[@johnguilianelli8306]

@@DEBOSFishing good waiting to try them come on spring lol

[@rodneygreen9968]

I have never tried fishing a Shakey Head. I fish a lot of rocky areas, so hangups are a big challenge. I'll use a lighter football head & see how it goes. Thank you for your experience & video.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep! Go as light as you can get away with! Thanks for watching 👊

[@k0re7]

Thank you for helping all use bank anglers learn new ways to catch feesh.

[@jokertoker7]

Great video as always man! As far as the shakey head goes. I played around with them a little in the fall, but I plan on working with them alot more in 2020.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Toss them, you'll definitely get some bites! Good luck 👊

[@markd6637]

What's up Debo. Your The man been watching your channel for a long time you're actually the one that taught me how to use a baitcaster I want to thank you for that and I problem with the Shaky Head is I can never keep the worm on the peg with a weight is it always slides off maybe I need to get the one that you had with that little keeper there

[@Gazmatson]

Awesome video. Picked up some trick worms today on a good deal. Knew you had a killer video that would teach me how to fish em. Thanks again.

[@billtaggart4869]

Love this chanel. Need to be beeter at fishing to show my 3 boys up! Keep putting it out! I need the secrets!

[@Kodakboy195]

I scored some of those pocket rocket and air tail wigglers brand new for a bucks a piece at a garage sale so I’m pretty stoked to toss em once springs here... which is very near here in Texas 😅

[@DEBOSFishing]

They are awesome! I can't wait to see spring!

[@cherokeeboggs534]

Loved the vedio no NEVER used the shacking head not used to fishing it would love to learn more how to fish it

[@DEBOSFishing]

Give it a try! They are a great versatile lure!

[@jamescorsiglia8997]

Good stuff Debo! Can’t wait to get out there.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Me too, I'm having feeshin withdrawals!

[@mattwest6669]

Thanks so much for your information. I need to slow down more.

[@DEBOSFishing]

The thanks goes to you for watching 👊

[@sjones7400]

Great vid! Gave me some ideas for different heads to try. Had the best shakey head luck so far with yum dingers and worn out trick worms. Peace bro👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, both do great! I've liked testing new heads to find the things that work better in specific situations. Thanks for watching 👊

[@jeffbuskirk3458]

Thanks for another great video! You answered a lot of my questions about this rig.I have not fished the shaky head much, but I plan to work on it this year.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Awesome, glad the vid helped! Good luck, hope you find some biggins with it!

[@chrisB-sd1mb]

Well guess who made a few additions to his spring shopping tackle warehouse wishlist after this haha

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha sorry, didn't mean to hit ya in the wallet 🤣 What are you picking up?

[@jeremiahclarin]

Can't wait for spring!!!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed! That stuff needs to get here soon!

[@jamesleary1405]

That little strike king rage bug you had on the ewg ned head I use on those ned heads with the skirt's and talk about getting bit more.. just incase you haven't seen what I'm talking about they look exactly like the normal ned jig just with a skirt added.

[@davidb2920]

Great advice seems like forever sense u made a video but enjoyed your tips an Techniques.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, unfortunately it has only been one a week. Everyday life stuff puts a cramp on stuff sometimes. I appreciate you sticking with my channel 👊

[@ericrisbrudt4905]

Thanks for the vid Debo! Keep them coming!!👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

The thanks goes to you for watching and supporting 👊👊👊

[@yakangler419]

I tend to use a swing jig as a comparable technique, but shaky head for longer strike zone presentation and worm fishing will be good to incorporate.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah! I messed with a swing head one year. I need to toss it more!

[@bentwookie348]

Debo - I grew up fishing for Walleyes in the midwest, but do to relocating, I plan to start primarily bass fishing this summer. I'm brand new to it and I love your videos and have learned a ton about different rigs from watching them. My one request would be that you spend more time demonstrating how to retrieve or "fish" the rigs (to your credit, you did do that in this video) and less time on the rigs themselves. Not a criticism, more of a pleading request. Keep making great vids!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I appreciate that feedback. I'd definitely do that if the weather allowed. I agree, helps to see it in action!

[@fishingwithvin]

This is my most challenging bait because we have to let it sit. The impression you did was spot on for me lol I'm so impatient it's ridiculous 😂 I'm guessing I need to wear a watch and focus on letting it sit. I'll get there but man it's tough to stand there doing nothing lol

[@DEBOSFishing]

I STILL struggle with that. Especially when you're already frustrated...you just wanna whip it like a fly swatter 🤣

[@pain_weaver]

You don't have to let it sit. Sink it to bottom and drag then pause. Drag pause. Contact with the bottom will give it all the action it needs. Good luck.

[@fishingwithvin]

@@pain_weaver I've been trying that more and more often this winter I'm hoping by spring I'll have the technique down pretty good.

[@pain_weaver]

@@fishingwithvin I'm just hoping for an early spring. I want the waters to open up again. I think my rods are going through aqua withdrawal lol.

[@fishingwithvin]

@@pain_weaver there's a few places around me, heated docks and a couple of big lakes but crappie send to be the only thing boring oh and some trout. But yeah I know what you mean lol

[@mikeb7939]

Great video. You're my go to for any instructional type stuff I may be looking for. I appreciate what you do!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I appreciate that a lot man! Hope the vids are helping 👊

[@jamesleary1405]

Apparently we think the same way with the shakeyhead. I've used Karl's saw craw also the krackin craw and several different beaver style baits. And many different styles of stick baits my favorite is the Biospawn exo stick. And of course any kinda curly tail works great. Now my personal experience has been in finesse technique shakeyhead has been my bread and butter.. I also use many different styles of shakeyhead from offset to ewg styles also different head shapes and wieghts. The shakeyhead is such a versatile bait to play with.. also almost forgot but baby brush hogs by zoom work great aswell. On colder days I've had my best luck though on the zoom black finesse worms. But another great and very cool company when it comes to colors is roboworms. Karl's bait and tackle has their own worm I'm not sure the name but it's a finesse style worm thick body into a very thin section with a bit of a blown out tail end it honestly floats on any kinda shakeyhead straight up and down and simply gets hammered. Great info though for anyone not thinking outside the box as we both obviously have..

[@davenmaistry6708]

Great something else for me too give a shot. It's summer here in south Africa.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Dragging one of these in the summer is a great way to find fish!

[@jesussavesrick]

I hop a 4” chigger craw on SH off the bottom from bank. Lots of 4-5 pounders in Nov-Jan in Texas. Doesn’t work well for smaller bass or any other time of year. Then I use more of a finesse plastic.

[@tdeeb6359]

GREAT instructional and entertaining, Debo! Thank you. Oh yeah! Here it was 74 and balmy today......sorry folks!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks, hope it helps folks. I'll trade you my weather! 😂👊

[@eddiealdape4459]

Debo Another great video, hope spring gets here sooner then later. And I have always found zoom trick worms work great!! Also in the purple & black color...

[@DEBOSFishing]

The trick worms are classic! Thanks for watching!
