I remember when I was a teenager back in the early 80s and I barely had any tackle. I would take a curly tail worm and rig it on a 1/16th crappie jig head because that's all the tackle had. This was way before anyone talked about the "Shakey head" technique. Man I sure tore the bass up doing that back then.
Yes sr my dad had made a mole to pore a football stile jig but instead of regular it was like a triangle with the point facing back and I use to get the ones that where messed up and use because I got hung up a lot because I didn’t want to fish the way him and my uncles or older cousins would fish and I would put a purple or black fire tail worm on there and cast out in the deep water and let it just pendulum back to me or slow drag it also sometimes just swim it and I started catching more and bigger fish and then everyone stopped 😂 😂 and stated watching me but that was also in the 80’s more mid 80’s throw I’m 45 now and look back and think everything we where doing back then is coming back around just named deferent and with better equipment then we had back then but I still have a couple old pistol grip handle 5’10”-6’4” rods and I pull them out every now and then and go fish old school like we did as kids and people can’t believe how I hammer them with that old equipment plus it’s all rivers here no lakes or anything just rivers and marsh
My older cousins taught me the same thing around 1990. They called it a jig worm. Just a ball head and a brown crawdad or red Shad colored 6” Culprit worm 😊
Randy, I've been watching your videos for a while now. You need to do a short on a video on you tackle room. I'd like to see your tropheys and hear about things you have in your takle room. I learn alot off your videos that truly help me now that I fish more tournaments. I like to see things and stories about different things inside guys workshops/tacklerooms/man caves. It just something I like to see. I'm not trying to be noisy... I love to hear the story behind stuff is all.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one that adjust jig weight's with a file. My buddy thinks I'm crazy for doing so. He'll just look for look all over for what he wants. Me, I just love doing bait mod's.
Thanks Randy, love fishing the shakey head. I make my own and experimenting with adding skirts for added attraction. Can’t wait to get out there and start using them.
Brother from cross the big pond greeting from a coonass down or I guess for you from over in southeast Louisiana just 20 miles north of New Orleans to give you a closer idea of where I’m talking about What do you fish for over there where you are at ???
Thanks for expanding on your Fishing Teacher video on the Shakey Head. Explaining the retrieve technique was missing there. I've learned a lot from you...thanks.
Thanks for presenting these tips, I have watched your prior videos as to how to setup/rig a shaky head, can't wait to try this out once things thaw out and warm up a bit.
Been doing that straight retrieve for 20 years... works great. It's basically the same retrieve we used with the regular plastic worm back in the day. I may be the best weeny worm fisherman thats ever lived. Basically invented it!!! lol
I'd like to see a video on ... if those detailed paint jobs on crankbaits and other hard baits.. really make a difference.. do they catch more fisherman than fish..
😂😂😂 with Randy it’s going to probably be Gamakatsu G Finesse Straight shank NANO SMOTH COATED witch I can’t complain I love the nano coat hooks I picked some up because it was all they had at a lil bait shop in the middle of nowhere and 100miles past nowhere one day and flat out fell in love with them no more setting the hook just lean into them and load the rod and it’s over they pined
I've caught quite a few fish on a shaky head, but have also caught a lot on a light Texas rig with a Zoom trick worm (usually because I didn't have any jig heads). Does anyone have an opinion on when/where the shaky works better than the T-rig? And why?
Well I don’t fish the shaky head much but I fish the Tiny Child-Rig the way IKE fish’s it and I love that and it’s way better for me and a lot less prone to getting hung up. But it’s one of them things that really to me and this is only MY PERSONAL OPINION it’s a dime one way and two nickels the other. I was always told don’t worry about anyone else or what they are throwing because you can always catch fish if the bait you are fishing with is one that YOU YOURSELF have confidence in and know how to fish it and that’s always been in my dads voice I hear it win I’m rigging tackle and debating on what to fish. I don’t know if that helps you or not but read your comment and just trying to maybe help you out 🙏🏼god bless brother have a safe,happy, an big fish catching spring !!!
I used to love a Texas rigged purple curly tail worm. But these days I've been tearing them up on a shakeyhead. It's by far my go to technique now when I really just need to catch a fish and nothing else is working
The Shakey Head probably frustrates me more than a jerkbait. I’ve never even gotten a bite. I will say after seeing how you fish the bait in this video, I will try it again. Would love for this lure to work as I have a ton of Shakey Head worms! Appreciate the tips.
Come in through the gills and spin the hook around with your fingers so that the head of the hook is in its throat and then pull outwards of the mouth on the round section of the hook.

Favorite way to fish . Some people say it’s to slow , but I love it!
Randy, nice guns brother. Good to see a fisherman still hits the gym.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one that adjust jig weight's with a file. My buddy thinks I'm crazy for doing so. He'll just look for look all over for what he wants. Me, I just love doing bait mod's.

Great tips Randy. A shaky head is something I need to try more. I typically stick to a drop shot and Ned rig. Thanks!
Señor Randy muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas, saludos desde España

I've learned a lot from you...thanks.
Just bought some so this is pretty timely! 🎉
Thanks for sharing!
Ive been using a 16 th size shaky head size for years and you are right . I definitely get more bites on it that the other sizes. Great info .
Yes.... alot of fishermen seem to over work the shakey head.. great video thanks 😊
Thanks. 😁👍 Going to use more shaky heads this year.
Thanks for presenting these tips, I have watched your prior videos as to how to setup/rig a shaky head, can't wait to try this out once things thaw out and warm up a bit.
Thanks again for sharing . I will be trying this 👍🎣
Randy's got some guns💪🏻

Great tip. I think I might be hooked on modifying baits Thanks to you 😉
I’m in Springfield tonight. Wish I had time to find a lake around here
I'd like to see a video on ... if those detailed paint jobs on crankbaits and other hard baits.. really make a difference.. do they catch more fisherman than fish..
Dang Randy you getting buff! Thanks for the info! You Rock....
Thx man
Glad to hear about the designing of a light weight shakey. Will it be a light wire hook? EWG or offset?
😂😂😂 with Randy it’s going to probably be Gamakatsu G Finesse Straight shank NANO SMOTH COATED witch I can’t complain I love the nano coat hooks I picked some up because it was all they had at a lil bait shop in the middle of nowhere and 100miles past nowhere one day and flat out fell in love with them no more setting the hook just lean into them and load the rod and it’s over they pined
Thank you for the tips!
CA lakes?
I find myself using the Neko rig more than the shakey head lately. I should go back and not forget to use it.
Try shakey head when they are a little less active. Neko when active. Neko was more action imo
As long as I have fished, 20 some odd years, I am just now starting to use a shakyhead more often.
Thinking about buying that reel. Would you recommend that one?
Great job explaining Randy....dang boy you've got a set of guns on ya.....lol...

What about mud bottom
Showing off the gun in your thumbnail 💪 💪 💪 🤣 jk love the content man!

I just posted a jerkbait tutorial so if you struggle with a jerkbait check it out!
Same here. Probably caught one fish on a shaky head. So much so that my bottom rig is a Ned.
Shakey head catches bass 24/7
Completely off subject Randy what’s the easies way to get a hook out of bass who swallows it?
Come in through the gills and spin the hook around with your fingers so that the head of the hook is in its throat and then pull outwards of the mouth on the round section of the hook.
✅17
I quadruple down on fishy baits.
Been waiting on a good 1/16 head for shakeyheads, with big enough hook for a long time!🫰😁
