[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching!! What bait/technique do YOU want to learn the basics of?? Let me know 👇

[@noahbeu1515]

Carolina rig

[@djsoutdoors50]

Lipless crankbait

[@Rooster0529]

Jerk bait.

[@mikebailey2119]

Berkley beat'n paddle frog.🐸

[@allenpryor3328]

Cracking a tube would be awesome info. A lot of people do it up north.

[@joshwhite8055]

I've always liked throwing the Shakey Head on and around boat ramps in the winter

[@mikebailey2119]

Edwin, I have to make one more comment. Went out back just before sunset and caught 4 bass in 15 minutes. Used my rod instead of reeling and felt all four bass. So glad I saw your video. Without realizing it I had got into the habbit of reeling my line instead of lifting and moving my rod to move my Berkley maxcent worm.😁🐟🎣

[@stoneysdead689]

The thing you just pointed out about the rod being more sensitive when the line is at closer to a 90-degree angle- that's why I keep my rod tip high while pitching. Guys are always like "Lower your rod tip so you'll be in position to set it..." but if you do this, chances are you won't even know to set it because you won't feel the bite. With my tip held straight up- almost, I can feel how my baits is falling, if it's kicking or not, if something bit it, if it brushed against something on the way down, etc. And, the fish can't feel me and is less likely to spit the bait so quickly. Gives me plenty of time to reel down and jack'em.

[@kevinmclain4611]

Thanks for the good tips. I fish in mid Missouri. But grew up fishing Grand Lake, Spavinaw and Gibson. Like to go down in spring and summer to fish with my relations.

[@williamschneider6811]

I believe that with all the equipment and tackle descriptions this is the most enjoyable and informative video you ever made.

[@RickFlagg]

Great video. Shaky Head puts the numbers in for me in the warmer months.

[@terrystrawser3070]

I have never been out fishing with anyone who has used a shaky head. So thank you so much for back to the basics on this cuz I needed it!

[@markcordero786]

I have learned so much watching your channel, and I love that you show fishing techniques from your boat, your kayak and even from the bank. Some people think yeah but he's on a boat or kayak, but you show that you can smash them on the bank too.

[@stevendrake3635]

Thanks for the tips. I’ve caught more fish watching your videos than ever before. Hopefully I’ll see you in Knoxville this weekend.

[@dansteiner5644]

Thanks E! Great refresher... need to get one tied up and ready at all times.

[@timlawrence7246]

Love the shakey head. Always one on the deck. Favorite time to use it is post spawn with a craw style plastic around wood.

[@shawnmanson7148]

I got my start on a shaky head. Pond fishing, had an unbelievable day just throwing a shaky head. Now, I have pretty much dropped all my other hobbies for fishing.love a shaky head

[@mikebailey2119]

Edwin, first couple of minutes is what I needed. Use the rod instead of reeling the shaky head. 🐟🎣

[@krr6581]

I used to fish a shakey head a lot. I got bored fishing with it all of the time. I caught a lot of fish with it though.

[@clarynick]

Well my rod is too light and reel is too small!!! Gotta upgrade soon. Fished some docks today and could see fish swimming in and out of poles on my sonar. They wouldn’t bite crankbait or anything else but shaky head. Which I saw you with on Facebook earlier. Thanks for the pro tips.

[@jackeldred2164]

Hey Edwin, I really appreciate the basics series. The lighter line you talk about has been difficult for me because I grew up fishing ponds and 17-20lb test. However, this winter I’ve gone down to 6lb and catching more fish. Thanks again for the helpful videos.

[@harlinhall2151]

I have a couple of different sizes in my box but I always go to a Texas rig, but year I'm going to put the shakey head to work especially on some of these high pressured smaller lakes

[@billytucker1573]

Works really good in Central California.. We have a lot of Clearwater.

[@shadygraves]

What BRAND of worms do you prefer in Cali? I'm back in 'Bama now, but when I lived out there, I tried to force 'em to bite Zoom finesse and Utail worms, to no avail. I had to use either small grubs (pumpkinseed/blk/copper), roboworms, or hand pours.

[@rickspeer9296]

Thank you, as always great advice, just love these videos of how you brake things down

[@leecanady6749]

Very informative! Keep them coming!

[@mrangel9986]

New shaky head fisherman here…..been bass fishing for over 30 years…..adding to my bucket…….great video

[@nategarland81]

Another great video Mr Evers. Closing in on finishing my first year of bass fishing. I started post spawn last year.

[@Cody27Boyd]

Cool to see different ways to fish it!

[@matthewquick2785]

I'm enjoying the series. You teach great things that always help. Thanks.

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

Hey Edwin, Thank you again for sharing all your knowledge with us. I've been bass fishing for over 30+ years and I really appreciate that you take the time to show us what you and the Pro guys do.

[@tylerdurden1255]

The two channels of Pro Anglers I watch consistently are Scott Martin and Edwin Evers. I always find myself on these channels. Great content! Thank you!

[@thomasboyce9994]

Awesome video and fantastic information can't wait to try it out later this year

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

I admittedly haven’t used the shaky head as much in lieu of the ned… maybe the perfect time to go back to more shaky head.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Thanks for doing this Great Series!!!👊🏻 Picked up a lot of great tips on how & when to use the shaky head that I did know before. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@chevydoctor]

Another great video! No BS just good tips. I really get a lot out of your videos because they are real, not catching a fish on every cast like some others. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you at Knoxville.

[@mikebeanbigbass]

Great video. Always learn something from these!

[@davidvaughan782]

I have not used a shakey head much but will try it again this year. I ordered some of the agent e baits yesterday after watching the vid. Thanks for the great tips.

[@raymaylone8563]

Once again you didn’t disappoint!!!!! Great info. Hope to see you do a video on how to properly spool braid on bait caster an spinning rod. I seem to have trouble with bait casters an braid cutting into itself. Thx.

[@robertchadwick1552]

This was a good break down. Thanks. You're a great coach!

[@larryb878]

Great video again Edwin! I've been fishing a shakey head for a couple years but I've gone heavier and I even fish it at night. These tips will help me get a lot better results, thanks!

[@burdettehoeppner1062]

Great video. I like the way you presented the info. Typing the high points up and presenting them all together. That makes it so much easier to put the notes into my phone file. Thanks for covering everything about the shaky head details. Awesome presentation.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for Watching!!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Thank you, Edwin.

Great presentation and looking forward to trying these in the spring when things thaw out!! Thank you!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

No Problem, Thanks for Watching Eric!!

[@carlslaughter5306]

I always have this really on the deck of my boat and fish it year around. I use a 1/8 with good success but will have to try the 1/16. As always thanks for all you do and see you at Lewis Smith Lake in March. Your good buddy Carl LOL

[@stevenwhite5558]

Another awesome video, was really great meeting you at the East Tennessee fishing show

[@chrisbrakie8190]

Gotta love the Shakey head!

[@johnnierigdon7660]

That was so informative. I personally have never used a shacky head. But I now know when to use on and how to use it. Bet I give it a go. Thanks again for all ur help.

Great refresher on this popular bait… count the rocks, Im not forgetting that one! Thanks Edwin!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

No Problem, Thanks for Watching John!

[@jimmymccorkle5005]

Exactly what I was looking for. Also add video of wacky worm,rigging, floating worm, weighting, ned rig and the difference between them all.

[@shadygraves]

I see all these guys doing all these crazy threadings and inu rigs. My opinion has always been this: if you put a worm near a bass and she's even slightly interested, she's gonna bite it regardless if it's crooked, upside down, inside out, backwards, or doing back FLIPS-she doesn't care. Mostly, it's the mere PRESENCE of it her domain, NEAR HER, that makes her bite. She FEELS IT with her lateral line as much as she SEES IT with her eyes.

[@jeronrotert896]

Ive been fishing it deep at Grand. Almost like a jig. Idk if you have experimented with that, but I catch a lot in 20-30 feet deep especially in the summer

[@kevinholley9141]

I love a shakey head has been a staple around me for years.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Definitely, Thanks for Watching Kevin!!

[@chrisfoley3320]

Great info champ!

[@barrywarren4221]

Great way to use Shaky Baits , That's what I'll be trying next. I like how you show the tactics on using difference baits. How about showing how to work a Crank Bait ? Thanks again Edwin, till next time.

Hey Edwin! That Lewisville Lake Tournament you mentioned sounds like the Elite 50 in June of 2005! You guys really lit’em up there😁 Great Memory

[@dougjack3532]

Enjoyed the video. Want to use it and plastic claw bait more this year

[@FutureBassmaster4469]

Hey Edwin, watching this before my Saturday tournament. Heard you talk about Berkley figure your sponsored, I'm huge on the UV speed craw! But I've found, after losing a few very good fish early this year, those Berkley Fusion19 Hooks are the BEST💯 I switched to emon a whim, after a stop at Walmart with no other hooks and now it's all I throw! Thanks for the videobrother tight lines!

[@justinmeyer2261]

Ive never fished with a shaky head before. I will try it now that I know how! Thanks!!

[@Andycarusetta]

I'm going to love this series. Thank you... I notice that you will often notice a strike then you wait a couple seconds before setting the hook. Are you just giving the fish time to get the bait down? Are you waiting to see if line moves or feel weight of the fish? Appreciate the tip Edwin

[@randallday9874]

Great video thanks

[@antoniowalker7243]

This is Antonio Walker I like the way you break down fishing

[@doyleshaw3063]

Ill keep it on the deck from now on, thanks E

i have never used this but i plan on trying it this year.

Great tips. Use worms a lot up here in Minnesota.

The shaky head catches fish every day of the year 👍

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes it Does!!

[@shadygraves]

Best comment so far! Now there's a man who's figured out he can get ALWAYS 'get five', regardless of weather, or water conditions! It just takes KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, SKILL, and CONFIDENCE. You, Sir, have arrived! 👏👏

@@shadygraves thank you Shady G. I’ve been guiding almost 27 years on Lake Fork in Texas and was forced to learn the easiest ways to get customers bit. The shaky head is definitely one of them lol

[@stoneysdead689]

I've never caught a single fish dragging a shaky head or ned rig- I'm sure other ppl do but, I don't seem to be able to catch anything that way. On the other hand- if I hop it like 4-6 inches at a time- or if I just raise my tip and shake it as I continue to raise so that my bait is moving forward in like 1-2-inch hops- I kill with it. Especially when I use a bait that will stand up off bottom- I've caught countless spotted bass doing this. They seem to love that up right, foraging posture. When I drag I tend to either get snagged in the cracks or, dig into the bottom and get bogged down in the muck. It's probably because of the places I fish, most places around here either have a big chunky rock bottom or, it's super soft and covered in old rotting leaves and stuff.

[@jimmyfaulkner4956]

When I bought my boat and took my family out for their first fishing trip on a boat, tied on a shaky head to their rods with a watermelon red worm. In 35ft of water, my son pulled a 3.8 out. Was an amazing experience.

[@soonerfan1675]

Caught my PB, 8 pounder with a shakeyhead. Middle of the day, hot 100 degree August day. The Seadooers were starting to show up and I was getting ready to head home. Just sayin’ … shakeyhead works anytime anywhere. I appreciate what you said about setting it down when the wind gets up. I push my luck with that sometimes and it just doesn’t work. That’s when it’s time to pull out the football head.

[@jayfishing8764]

I suck at Shaky head, thanks for tips 🙏🔥🎣

[@gundamwing1983]

I’ve been using a shaky head with a fluke and it’s been successful for me even into the winter months here in NY

[@tngreenevfl2022]

Hey mr Mott do u fish it just like a worm or are u aggressive with the fluke? You have got me thinking! Thx!

[@burdettehoeppner1062]

Could you do a breakdown on fishing flutter/spoons, when where, season etc.

[@djsoutdoors50]

Count the rocks🤣 ill have to remember that!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I prefer a 1/4 ounce shaky head. Heavy enough to cast far on windy days and good for a baitcaster. Also light enough that the worms stand up better.

[@shadygraves]

THIS YEAR, try a different approach. Try NOT feeling it. Make yourself use that spinning rod. Go light. Real light. Try a Zoom Finesse worm (junebug, grn pumpkin, or smoke purple) on a ¹/¹⁶oz Charlie Brewer Spider Slider Classic head. Cast it near wood on rock in the prespawn. You WON'T feel bottom. You WON'T feel the worm. THAT'S OKAY! Concentrate on the FALL of the worm. Just cast it near cover and let it fall. The slow, diagonal dive of that little worm is irresistible to bass. After you cast and let it fall until it SHOULD be on bottom, pick up your slack line and just 'CHECK' your worm to see if it's in a bass' mouth. If not, let it fall again. This way, you're just casting it out and waiting until it's in his mouth. When you tighten up your line to 'check' it, it makes it do a little dance that resembles a swimming, diving, or dying bream, shad, or other baitfish PERFECTLY. If it's crawfish you're imitating (yes, a worm imitates ALL bass forage!), be SURE to let it go all the way to bottom and give it sharp hops, along with long, SLOW falls again. Again, it's not the bottom contact that you're used to, so it takes a little practice, but you're targeting DIFFERENT FISH in a DIFFERENT WAY. Try this: Hold any straight worm, by it's head, in your hand. Try to hold it perfectly still. You can't. It moves, regardless of what you do. Add wind, waves, and boat movement and that worm is in CONSTANT motion. Now, instead of only targeting fish on the bottom, fish the entire water column. Once you get used to NOT feeling bottom, you'll see that you're basically casting it right into his mouth. Cast. Fall. Check. Fall. Check. Fall. SET THE HOOK when it's in his mouth. You will be astonished what you can do with 6 or 7lb line, a medium light 6 to 7' rod, and a fast, 1000 to 2500 series reel. I've had innumerable spring days when I had close to 300 bites doing this, only to land 75-80 on a good day. 30-50 bass is easily done using this technique and tackle in the warming prespawn days of spring.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

@@shadygraves I do fish a shaky in lighter sizes. Just quarter ounce is one of my favorites for bait casting. I do fish a spinning rod also for my Ned rigs and dropshots. As well as some very light finesse jigs. I haven’t tried a 1/16 ounce shaky head before but I’ll definitely look into it. My favorite for Ned rigs are 1/10 ounce zman finesse shroomz.

[@anthonycampbell5035]

Hey hey Edwin sorry I missed the broadcast 3 hours ago I'm at work just want to say hello to you from Virginia and I hope to catch your best base for February like I said I've got a tournament if February 27th on Smith mountain lake

[@Tide12NC]

I’ve been trying to save for a good Megabass shakyhead rod. Not sure if I can now my son has been excepted to fish at a local JuCo. HS has about being one me with gas prices, tournaments and gear. But hoping one day to get the right set up. One rod I have is medium heavy, the other is a good St. Croix but it’s 7’ light/fast. I want either 6’11 to 7’2 medium. My medium heavy seems to break a lot on Smith lake spots on the hook set with 6 to 8lb test. Maybe one day I’ll afford that right one. I know what I want, I just have to find it.

[@petecook1611]

Edwin I throw a black almost exclusively on shakyhead whether it's stained or clear! They will eat black in that clearer water! Ive never seen it where I had to change colorfor bites. I really wanna see a video on where fish go on tx day once u put 150/175 boats on same lake on a single day event after you've had a good practice week before. Do I change areas, change baits, presentation??

[@tommclane9544]

Thank You, us bank fishermen are limited in tackle that we can take along. What two rod, reel and line setups would you recommend that would cover all or most bass fishing techniques or applications
