The Forgotten Finesse Fishing Rig-(Mid-Summer Bass Fishing)

[@jeffreyrodgers5835]

I agree and always have one tied on. In Central Florida it's a down right killer when fished right behind someone else who is power fishing. Especially in deeper drops say from 10 to 18 ft of water. It does something to the bigger fish that's just unreal. It's like someone else woke em up and made them angry with a noisy big crank then a long comes the tiny little snack they just say yes to. It's been my sneaky approach this year and day in and day out the same fish from yesterday will eat again today. I like how u broke it all down. Great advice

[@tcm124]

An EXCELLENT shakey head breakdown. Detailed , but still simple. Thank you for all your help ! Best wishes.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Tom!

[@Traylors_outside]

Videos are getting better and better! Keep them humble and teach us.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Darrell. I’m still learning so thank you for sticking with me!

[@Peter-cj2ml]

Watching this video has given me hope as this year to me has been tough.

[@jeffmiller3765]

Hey Andrew....if you haven't tried the megastrike shakey heads you are missing out on a good one ! Most shakey heads actually let the worm roll over and drag along the bottom sideways. ( check out Fish the Moment"s pool vidoes ) The megastrike heads have a very unique shape and feature a fulcrum so that they are almost impossible to roll over.....they are actually kind of a pain in a tackle tray since they by nature want to stand up. Not sponsored or affilated with them, just a very happy customer ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion, always look forward to your vids.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks man! I understand your point on them. The one with the nail would be the one I would use, but they don’t make it in an 1/8th.

[@ReelSeriousAnglers]

Great video Andrew and I along with other Anglers appreciate your candor and honesty when talking about what you use and why.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks a ton man🙏

[@whiskeybranch]

The shaky head has been a secret weapon for me fishing as a coangler. Its very versatile. I haven even flipped them into heavy cover and had a lot of success with them.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s a big deal out of the back of the boat!

[@whiskeybranch]

@@AndrewUpshawFishing very much so. Gives them that different look. I've even outfished my boater a few times using it. Saved my season this year a lot

[@Shiloh3498]

I'm 50 years old and never fished a shaky head until this summer. I started catching bass immediately. I'm really excited to fish this rig more and gain some knowledge and confidence.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s a phenomenal way to catch bass. Hope this helps a little. Happy 4th!

[@dwighthouse5790]

Thanks for the info. I don’t fish it much but after you explained it. I going to put more time in fishing it.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

You will be surprised how good it works!

[@jamesgray5035]

Thanks for this video. Been catching a ton of fish on shaky head this week. Caught several good fish with the biggest was 6.6.

[@jamesgray5035]

Lost another big one today on Ned rig. Rookie mistake, fish ran line into trolling motor.

[@natemorefield1218]

Got my very first shakey head bass this morning! Thanks for the tips and help!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Heck yea man! Glad they worked for you

[@af4od02]

Good tips on the different heads. Thanks.

[@rickwalt8767]

Thanks Andrew, a lot of good information. Love your videos. Keep up the good work and keep them coming.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Rick!

[@mikegardiner3934]

Hey Andrew! You “nailed” it (no pun intended). The 3/16 Frenzy Nail has been my only shaky head on Lanier for 5-6 yrs now. Absolutely love it! It’s funny you mentioned the VMC rugby 1/8 head too. I use that all the time in ponds and smaller bodies of water, mainly with a brush hog or man bear pig. Overall awesome video!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Mike. I actually used the Frenzy Nail at Lanier when I was there for the FLW Tour👀

[@AbDeep07]

Loved the humor, subscribed for that reason.

Awesome job Andrew. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Thane!

[@leeyarbrough9636]

You are correct or has been over shadowed an it’s a shame cause it’s a nice application to throw in summer cause on all of our lakes really get hammered down here in Alabama in pickwick or Tennessee River chains very good video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

No doubt. Still a big fish producer, too.

[@NamathCB]

Got to shake your hand at Champlain last year, thanks for sharing your knowledge on shaking a worm!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate meeting everyone!

[@robertjacobsfishing]

Brilliant video Andrew! Not sure if you have ever paired the Xcite Baits X-Lock JigHead with the Xcite Baits Raptor Tail Jnr floating craw. Deadly combination! Moaner Stiffy Jig is also very similar!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I haven’t tried that bait, but love the jighead

[@lannyseals2084]

No matter what time it is, you just make it to where I want grab my rods and head to the honey hole lol... you're vids are great and very informative! I been fishing the Strike king river bug on a Shakey head for some creek smallies and it's a blast! Glad you made the vid so I can try some new stuff, best of luck and stay safe out there!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s funny you say that, a good buddy of mine’s favorite bait is the River Bug too!

[@davidshields1726]

The absolute best shakey head hands down is the Boss Brent Erhler shakey head that can be found at Tackle Warehouse Not cheap but by far the best hooking on the market. No toolset required,just reel set and the hook doesn't just penetrate but passes through the jaw.

[@terrytriton2265]

Class act , thanks Andrew. Some people give ya s*** for being in your jersey, that's what professionals do when representing sponsors. Its better than a unshaven,short sleeve,flip flops wearing guy giving me his recommendations, lol. Thanks again.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I’ve been that guy too. Lol but I try to look the part from time to time.

[@verlinbalsigeriii9617]

Thanks for all the detail on this. I have to put this to work! Would you be willing to do a tackle organizing video, by lure/technique. I have stuff in plastic bags and I think it may be overkill for my kayak fishing. So basically, how you decide what to bring and what not to bring.

[@JohnLauber]

Thanks for the tips. I recently started trying a shaky head, myself, and I'll be using your tips tomorrow, for sure.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I hope it works for you!

[@wendyyoder9368]

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

What do you use for braid to Fluor? For Drop Shot. An How much liter line do you use?

I really don’t use much at all. I’m different on a drop shot than most. I still use the old school swivel and leader from that on the drop shot

[@funkymojo111]

So I consider the weightless plastic baits as the ultimate in finesse fishing techniques.

[@jasonmausteller2488]

Regular rugby head or finesse rugby?

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I use both honestly. Depends on the length and thickness of the worm.

Thanks!

Andrew - "colors don't matter to me" Also Andrew - "junebug is a very important color" lol

I should have clarified. Shades of color matter, but having 10 variations of “watermelon” is unnecessary.

Jersey situation is simple. If you have earned it and are working with sponsors that require you to wear it, excellent. If you made it yourself online and wear it cuz you want to misrepresent yourself and your situation, not good.
