AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO,AND AFTER FIVE DAYS OF RAIN;I WENT TO MY FLOODED OUT LAKE WITH BRIGHT BLUE SKYS AND SLITE TO LIGHT WIND.REALLY A POST FRONT DAY BUT WITH YOUR ADVISE WAS ABLE TO BUT 9 KEEPERS IN THE BOAT WITH THE WOBBLE HEAD THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg!!!! He did the video I asked him about! Thankyou so much bass geek. I think the wobble head is a very underrated bait. It combines two of my favorite things. Squarebills and jigs! Great video. Can’t say it enough.
@@BassGeek have you ever tried BIG worms on it? Zoom old monster,culprit ribbonworm,mag finesse or trick worms? It’s like a shaker head on steroids! Swimbaits can even work like keitech fat impact.
@@seizedcarcass8440 HECK YEAH! Find a ribbon tail worm that floats and toss that thing on there when it’s moving it got great tail action close to the bottom then you stop it and it floats up real slow and just a little shew good
Sir thanks for all you have taught me i have learned so so much from you and your videos and even my kiddos have to. Love how you keep it simple and how you break everything down for us so no matter from a newbie to a novice angler's you can do what you are showing us. I mean I don't have most of the stuff that you show us how to fish but it is ok maybe one day we will. But sir thanks and appreciate all your time it means alot to me for sure and my kiddos to. Well sir till the next's time GodBless and Tight Lines.
GREAT information my man! Thanks! I literally did Laugh out Loud when you said..”I ain’t scared..you scared?..I ain’t scared”. My buddies and I have said this exact thing many times while fishing! 😂 I have those same lures but haven’t rigged like that..fixin to though! Have a great week BassGeek! 👍👌✌️🎣
I ain't scared either. Besides, we have to keep these bait/lure companies in business. Would be nice to catch a fish while showing us your technique. 😂 You rock big guy! ✌🏻🎣
Sir it's such a good presentation. Put a worm on it, put a creature on it. It's amazing. You wouldn't believe how good a big ribbon tail looks on it in the summer. Especially one that floats. So when you stop it, it just slowly floats up.
Great flick again bud! We’ve tied up one with a chatter head once…yo-yo…reeling it med-speed on rock flats…killer!! I’ll be off the water for a while. Went south to Saguaro Lake in AZ. My boat was vandalized/broken into. Sux.
Hank, my man, this is one of the Best tutorials on the wobble head, and I’ve seen plenty. I’ve got some custom made painted leadheads, I’ve also got some BeastCoast tungsten heads and you can really tell the difference with tungsten 👍 I don’t have deep water ( none over 30’ ) so I use a 1/2oz and I’m in Raleigh NC so my two closest lakes the bottom is covered in pine needles 😜😤 which can be a problem. I wish you could come over and gimme some lessons😜✊🎣🦞🎣🍀🍀😎
I've heard talk about the Biffelhead/wobble head. Thank you for explaining where and how to use it. I'm gonna have to pick some of these up. Fits right in with the fishing I like to do.
Strike King swinging swim jig is money. I can slow roll them in March or swim it faster in summer and catch fish. I like to throw them around structure, the best reaction strike.
I've been burning them up on the Biffle bug the last two trips to my local lake. There is nothing but silt bottom and WOOD. I really like the idea of being able to change the hook because sometimes I like to go with a larger hook, if the bait size will let me. That is a cure for short strikes. I'm using the Gene Larue heardhead in 11/16 oz. and it does a good job as long as I don't need a bigger hook.
My favorite way to fish, next to the C-rig. When on lg, fish I found a one to one and 1/2 once head and a Hugh creature bait well pull out the biggest fish. 🤫
I 🖤 those swingheads! Like you said their great for swimming but you can also pitch to cover all with the same rod. I even made my own DIY finesse version. Got a video on my channel if you ever want to see how I make them.
Great video. I’m trying to get more into this rig and this will definitely help. I also like the Tokyo rig and would like to get your thoughts and help. A video on that would be great. Thanks
Man once I can start beating the banks for some bass again, I’ll need to put this in my arsenal. It just seams like I can lighten the load just by carrying the interchangeable heads.
Here is a little tip I have used in for awhile now. I got it from Tommy biffle himself. If use the biffle bug it has a hollow insert. Stick a foam ear plug inside and the bait will stand straight up. It’s absolutely deadly
@@BassGeek you are one of my favorite you tubers and definitely one of the most knowledgeable. You keep it real and explain it in away that us weekend guys can understand it. Keep up the great work
I have a few of these from strike king and a few of those from heqdbanger lures. Used them some but the paint on the strike kings come off really fast.
Thanks for the info..one question ..do you prefer it in super murky water? I love on a lake that we can’t hardly throw jerkbaits and swinbaits full of timber and rip rap and chunk rock ..seems like it would work well on suspended trees deep and up around timber on the bank but curious about if 1-2ft tops visibility hurts
Ain’t sceered, through them wobble heads. I like em to. Do like shakey heads to. I am sure you have and I just don’t remember-show how to tie different knots. I am terrible at it. Lost one the biggest bass because of a knot as I was reaching down to grab that monster.
@@BassGeek I’ve been struggling with my GoPro all year. It seems like it starts and partially through my video it shuts off. I put a new SD card in and I’m going to try this week. I have a fishing trip on the Niagara River on Monday and I want to film it. Just want to make sure I have it setup right
If your pursuing a reaction bite, I'd recommend vivid color and active appendages. If their mood proves otherwise, then it's a non kicker & less vivid color. I'm not ashamed to spend a couple of hours banging the bottom around a laydown post front & low visibility for one bite.
It originally was painted but I’ve beat the paint off it. Lol. I don’t mind either way honestly. Some people want it all to match but it’s like matching flipping weight colors black always works. I think color on the head (as long as it’s not some crazy color) don’t matter that much
This one pond I hit has a lot of snot still, ploppers do it day and night but I loose em sometimes in the snot, would a dark buzzbait be better(evenings)? I got a toad buzz bait 3/8 but you have to burn it for it to swim right... A vid breaking down a Buzz Bait vs. Whopper Plopper? I need to give my wobble another go, but I like the sound of that mustad...😅
Never had a problem with a hookset opening it up or getting wrapped. I've used both the strike king and the Mustad which are made pretty much the same. It's a football head not really a grass head. Now strike king makes a structure head that has a point it comes threw grass better but you can change the hook.
Hank for lead heads. I have seen a few using 2 split rings so you can change out hooks. The use of the split rings gives the bait more action and less leverage for the fish to throw the hook. Especially when you are using a heavy head. Any thoughts on this?
Shew on a swimjig. That's tough 3/0 is as big as I would go. 2/0 is a good one. 3/0 is a touch big and 2/0 is a touch small but both work. Now finding a swimjig with that size hook?
Depends on what you want to do with it- if you're looking to deflect off stuff on bottom, like a crank- I would strat with 3/8th and adjust from there. If it's digging in and getting stuck too much lighten up- if it's wanting to rise too much when you reel- you keeping having to stop and let it fall back- you need a heavier head. But- if you're throwing a swimbait an want to keep it up in the column- you might need something as light as 3/16ths. From he bank , more often than not I end up at 3/8ths- that allows me to reel it pretty fast with a 7:1, deflect off the rocks- but not get bogged down in them. But I've had to lighten up to as little as 1/4 ounce to- just depends.
Sorry guys I called this a shaky head once in the video but it a swing head or wobble head. NOT a Shaky head.
AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO,AND AFTER FIVE DAYS OF RAIN;I WENT TO MY FLOODED OUT LAKE WITH BRIGHT BLUE SKYS AND SLITE TO LIGHT WIND.REALLY A POST FRONT DAY BUT WITH YOUR ADVISE WAS ABLE TO BUT 9 KEEPERS IN THE BOAT WITH THE WOBBLE HEAD THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man huge fan didn’t realize you was so close to Cherokee lake. Sevierville area here. Thanks for the tip!
Man I would love to live down there love those lakes
Thanks for the video. “I ain’t scared” to through it at nothing anymore.👍🏻

Yeah it’s hard to do on cue. Hey at least I tossed a catch in the video.
Another great video. Love your stuff, always informative and practical.

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you
Thank you sir
hi Hank! I think i mentioned before, but WHead has become my fav nite bait. Whether using big worm or creature bait! Great tips!
Heck yeah it’s so good and you can do so much with it
I've heard talk about the Biffelhead/wobble head. Thank you for explaining where and how to use it. I'm gonna have to pick some of these up. Fits right in with the fishing I like to do.
Be sure to hit that mustad link for 20% off the hooks and heads. It's soooooo versatile. You can fish anything with it.
@@BassGeekHank any issues with the connector breaking? I have seen reviews on TWH saying they break and don't use them.
Thanks for the video Hank. I need to try the wobble head more. Need that weedless search bait option.
Anytime sir
Great info thanks. Ive never tried a shaky head
Well a wobble head I screwed up it's called a wobble or swing head.
Awesome video I am going to try some of this out and see how it works for me.
Keep us posted and seen some pics to share in my stories.
These are great. I actually just rigged up a wobbling swimjig. Can’t wait to see how it works.
Don’t just fish it on the bottom.
Strike King swinging swim jig is money. I can slow roll them in March or swim it faster in summer and catch fish. I like to throw them around structure, the best reaction strike.
Our secret South African bait .
1/2 to 3/4 oz with Adrenalin craw trailer 👌
Nice! I love these things.
I might have been a little scared…. But not anymore! Thanks, Brother!
hahhahaha NO FEAR!
Love wobble head use different plastics depending on mood
Yup same here!
Another bait I’ll be grabbing this winter ! ( could’ve used it today , bite was brutal!! ) Great video
They spread out and this is a great bait to cover water
@@BassGeek lol we covered some serious water !! Just couldn’t get them to commit to a bite unfortunately
Love your videos
Thanks and I love your support and comments it helps the channel more than you know
Like most things in fishing. I need to give that a try 😆
Hahahaha you will build that arsenal before ya know it
" I ain't skeered.....you skeered?" 😆
Nope we ain’t!
Great wobble head tips! Great vid!

That's one thing I like about these heads for sure you can set them up however you like.
Totally agree that its easier to speed up with a slow reel than slow down a fast one
For me it is
Looks like another good one I need in my box. I may have one somewhere bc I know I bought some before but I need some more now lol.
Hahahaha hope ya find’em
Great video bud 👍
Thank you sir.
My favorite way to fish, next to the C-rig. When on lg, fish I found a one to one and 1/2 once head and a Hugh creature bait well pull out the biggest fish. 🤫

I even made my own DIY finesse version. Got a video on my channel if you ever want to see how I make them.
OH man that finesse version sounds sick.
@@BassGeek so good in super clear water with anything from a bb cricket, finesse worm, small beaver, small tub and of course small swimbaits.
thanks hank I missed the name too of the head that you screw in
I have a couple wobble heads but never picked it up. Thanks to your vid I will be throwing this week.
Man I love those things
@@BassGeek I just have a hard time moving away from confidence baits. Especially a good underspin swim bait.
@@treverwagner yeah I love those but you know that lol
I'm going try it tomorrow
Let me know how it goes. Good Luck
@@BassGeek bite was slow.. but did get light hit was able go back pick up with jig
Great video. I’m trying to get more into this rig and this will definitely help. I also like the Tokyo rig and would like to get your thoughts and help. A video on that would be great. Thanks
I love the VMC Rugby weight for a Tokyo rig. or if there is grass a slider weight.
@@BassGeek thanks
Man once I can start beating the banks for some bass again, I’ll need to put this in my arsenal. It just seams like I can lighten the load just by carrying the interchangeable heads.

@@markharmon8018 Thank you so much I try to so much.
I have a few of these from strike king and a few of those from heqdbanger lures. Used them some but the paint on the strike kings come off really fast.
Yeah I wouldn’t worry about the paint it’s in the dirt most of the time anyway
@@BassGeek yeah i wear the paint off most jigs and other stuff like this pretty quick but still use them.
i have a poor hit to hook up ratio on this bait, so i bend the tip up a little
Great tip hehehe I haven’t had that issue much (thenI miss the fish in the video)
The company Punisher Makes some it is called the Hell Marys
But great video as always buddy but ya my boy got to fish his school tournament on Cherokee this sat it sucks bad down there
Yeah I've got the classic down there later this month.
This is such a coincidence ...I just started using a shaky head for Texas rigged bandit bug.... Works well .... Not Skeerd !!! 😁
Throw that thing in the thickest of trash
Thanks for the info..one question ..do you prefer it in super murky water? I love on a lake that we can’t hardly throw jerkbaits and swinbaits full of timber and rip rap and chunk rock ..seems like it would work well on suspended trees deep and up around timber on the bank but curious about if 1-2ft tops visibility hurts
Depending on the bait you put on it. I will fish it in ultra clear to mud. It's just good
Do u use the fastach ones? Thx for another great video!
Yes sir got a 20%off code for them
Thx you sir
I ain’t scared 😂
Lol I ain’t

Great video bud how about for the GoPro setting it up for videos
What do you mean like how do I set my gopro up for videos?
@@BassGeek I’ve been struggling with my GoPro all year. It seems like it starts and partially through my video it shuts off. I put a new SD card in and I’m going to try this week.

I have to agree don't tell anyone but a summer craw with that chartreuse on one side is a go to for me.
Q= noticed the wobble head you showed was unpainted. Do you prefer unpainted heads?
It originally was painted but I’ve beat the paint off it. Lol. I don’t mind either way honestly. Some people want it all to match but it’s like matching flipping weight colors black always works. I think color on the head (as long as it’s not some crazy color) don’t matter that much
Would you say this is a technique that can be used on soft bottoms? Or is it mostly for hard bottoms?
Just use a lighter head and keep it moving, fast. It's great on a swimbait also just swimming it like normal
This one pond I hit has a lot of snot still, ploppers do it day and night but I loose em sometimes in the snot, would a dark buzzbait be better(evenings)?

@@BassGeek But they like the plopper more! I'll try changing up my cadence I reckon, thanks man!
Those mustad fastech heads get wrapped up around that jig eye with tons of grass bro,and the they open up at the eye on a heavy hook set,not for me
Never had a problem with a hookset opening it up or getting wrapped. I've used both the strike king and the Mustad which are made pretty much the same. It's a football head not really a grass head.

That's a really cool Idea.
@@BassGeekI know Gambler Lures makes a wrecking ball head where you can add your own hooks with split rings.
@@BassGeekgot the tip for using the split rings from Bass Pro Matt Stephen.
Does work great on rock,and timber,you should have thrown it in grass
Now in the grass there is a head made by strike king called the structure head it has the hooks on it but it's pointed. That works better in grass.
On bladed swim jigs what size hook do you recommend on a 2.8 inch paddle tail
Shew on a swimjig. That's tough 3/0 is as big as I would go. 2/0 is a good one. 3/0 is a touch big and 2/0 is a touch small but both work. Now finding a swimjig with that size hook?

I found a guy. Just got it in the mail. Gorgeous! 2/0 was the ticket!!
