How To Fish A Shaky Head…For Beginners

[@johnbennett530]

I really appreciate the new beginner series, I have only been bass fishing 3 years, and it helps give me an insight on what I should be doing.

[@johngalt3568]

Great series so far Randy. Even us old, experienced guys need reminders sometimes. Thank you.

[@dbrett91]

These how to videos are perfect. Needed these a year ago when I was picking fishing back up. Too many youtubers get too focused talking for like 10-15 minutes about every little detail that they never really get around to showing how to work it.

[@markendfinger2769]

I love the on the water demonstration. I learn a ton from your tackle room videos, but there’s nothing like seeing your advice in action.

[@billace3076]

Grate video Randy this is the kind of videos that help seeing you actually working the bate

[@dennisdriskill908]

Thanks for the help Randy, "Rock-on" my friend.

[@mikeymedina93]

Good points! Very underrated technique. Thanks RB

[@jersey4755]

Another good one! More of these please.

[@herewegofans]

Great advice. Used your method and second cast pulled a small mouth. Added bonus is my hands shake anyway lol. Thanks for video.

[@dannybarnhill5704]

Loving these beginner tips. Please keep them coming.

[@Doug_Hinton]

Randy, I just watched Todd Castledines video about there being no secrets left,popped into the comments section, first thing I saw was a fella saying yoy already gave away all the secrets, man did that just give me a chuckle!!

[@1_of_4]

Awesome video. I need to try a shakey head. Thank you.

[@chuckthecontractor]

I like your videos because it takes you 3 minutes to say what takes other channels 30 minutes.

[@davidmorgan4804]

Love the beginner tips. I'm not well versed in a lot of FW technique, so these are appreciated!

[@patjohnstonbaugh7863]

Love the 'on the water' videos .... they are Much more interesting!!!

[@1MoreCast]

Like the 101 series so far!

[@jeffwatson754]

Mr.Blaukat...I really enjoy your videos...You can hear the experience and sincerity In your voice...The explanation and detail that you put in whatever you are talking about that day is awesome...Keep up good work...Lake city...fl

[@jwm2588]

This is the exact type of video I've been looking for. I've been trying to figure out how to fish the shaky head this summer, but I couldn't find anyone who actually showed how to fish it. Thanks for the video!

[@seahawks75]

Always wanted to learn how to retrieve baits better and learn once I don't know please keep up these videos

[@shadygraves]

A good way to flatten the learning curve is to cast your lures into a swimming pool to observe their actions and how your manipulation affects those actions. 👍🏼

[@Bluejspey]

The beginner series is great; please keep them coming!

[@kesterharding1819]

Great video. Thank you for demonstrating.

[@richardbossman9875]

Shakeyhead has been a staple of my fishing for awhile now, unless I’m pitching into cover I don’t even fish a TX rig anymore.

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Thank you for the information!

[@ziggyblue782]

Great video! Please keep doing these tutorials.

[@fryeguy9939]

RANDY... This is really awesome... That you are doing this.. I think you have really started something.. great work.. If viewer weren't subscribed before.. They should now.. The Frye Guy

[@chrisboyd1408]

Thanks for sharing. Keep these video tips coming. I have never used the shakey head

[@bassnbuckbillyb824]

Love it!!!Get back with me Randy.I live on Old Hickory.You an the family can stay with my wife an I.

[@ronniemitchell9221]

Great tip.... and I like the spinning aspect of it..!

[@MrIfish2much]

I'm so far behind I may never get caught up on all the videos you've been putting out but I don't want to miss any of them for the information you put out there .

[@holdmybeeroutdoors223]

Good to see ya on the water buddy

[@erichildreth7562]

This is really great and yea I have made that mistake of lifting it off the bottom before now I will use your advice! Thanks for sharing!!

[@stevenroller8285]

You have good videos but these beginner 101 videos are the best by far

[@Geoonthegrind]

Thank you Randy!

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

Good stuff , great idea looking forward to more

[@Plain_shane27]

Good stuff, gonna put it into action tomorrow, thank you

[@1heybulldog]

Good info

[@SpookyRedz]

Great one loved it

[@Tide12NC]

I’d love to have Megabass as a sponsor here on Lewis Smith lake. I fish a lot of finesse here and Megabass has some of the best finesse tackle in my opinion. My current set up is St Croix rods with a Lew’s spinning reels. Also a Daiwa spin reel on a Duckett rod. But really been eyeing the Megabass Orochi xx F3.5-70xxs shakyhead rods. The medium or medium light action w/ a fast tip would work great on those big Smith lake spots and Monday night wildcat tournaments.

[@blogbybryan]

great video thanks for doing this

[@vincentlivoti4184]

Hey Randy will you do a video on the Tokyo rig and also the Janko rig.

[@dhjhawk]

Great tips. Appreciate it.

[@cadendickey4536]

Great video. It was very informative

[@buckmountaintaxidermy7788]

Would love to see you Nail some big ole bass,every now and then..Something tells me your a pretty darn good fisherman!🤙

[@fishingwiththeks]

I’ve fished with Randy and have a video of our trip on my channel.

[@buckmountaintaxidermy7788]

@@fishingwiththeks Awesome!I'm now a subscriber!

[@paintergonefishing7933]

Love this way of teaching

[@jeffwatson754]

Mr.Blaukat...you mentioned at the end of video about drag...you said that back reeling was the way to go...maybe you could do a video on back reeling for us that do not know that technique.

[@shadygraves]

It is technique pioneered and employed mostly by TN smallmouth anglers. They back reel when a fish dives or surges, as opposed to relying on the reel's drag, since the line test is generally smaller, thus apt to break. This an extremely difficult thing to master!

[@stevekeen7035]

Good video, but I do have a quick question Randy. Do you not work a texas rig the same way? I jiggle the rod tip that way alot as Im draggin a worm, craw, creature bait, etc. Not always but I just assumed everyone fished a texas rig that way at least sometimes. Am I wrong about this?

[@shadygraves]

I like to fish a Charlie Brewer Spider Slider head instead of a ball shaped shakey head. The difference is the Slider head gives you a more DIAGONAL, swimming fall which is where most of your strikes occur IF you use the right size head. I prefer a ⅛oz, and I concentrate on the FALL, more than bottom contact. It takes some getting used to if you're used to feeling bottom with a TX rig, but once mastered, it's a dynamite technique that has produced a few 100+ (Coosa River Spotted) bass days for me.

[@mikewallis8999]

Love the shakey head

[@funkymojo111]

👍Cast far! Watch your line. Roland Martin says,"Be a line watcher." Drag and twerk! Leave the hopping to when you are using other jigs like the Ned Rig.

[@lesteranderson222]

Are you using a Megabass Whipsnake for fishing shakey heads?

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

I had some really big ones other day follow it all way to they seen me in the boat they wouldnt grab it..i be fishing the 6 man see if we can win that in oct...

[@mortuarymax]

Thanks Randy got a few bites and then kinda fell off after i tried working it too much

[@braxtonthorngate7406]

Does this work on grassy bottoms?

[@mikewelter180]

Randy, do you usually cast from the bank to the deeper ends of the point?

[@mr.skeptical3071]

Perfect

[@mikeymedina93]

Addermine?

[@hunterjarnigan7220]

I hope you make a video about a drop shot

[@erk678]

👍

[@darrend11]

what's everyone favorite heads? Flat bottom, Round? Keeper, Screwlock or no holder at all?

[@shadygraves]

My favorite is a Charlie Brewer Spider Slider head ⅛oz. The key though, is to concentrate on the diagonal FALL, in addition to bottom contact, as this is where you'll get the majority of strikes. This is difficult for most beginners because they're trying to feel bottom. Give them a try on 6 or 8lb line.

[@garyredman4901]

Randy, your boy went shallow at the end of his live stream with a 🐸. He did nothing so give him a hard time 😃

[@FutureBassmaster4469]

I just wanna say, im watching KZbin. Sat n pops in a tourney. He had about a 4lber on went to net him, he jumped n hit the net. Rest is hitsory....missed money by 3lbs..

[@toddmiller2239]

What do you think catches more fish? A Shaky Head or a Drop Shot?

[@JMohler]

Think it depends on person. For me Shakey is far superior to a drop shot in every way. But I know others with skill that are incredible with a drop shot

[@alanfrye2706]

Load that megabass logo lol
