The shakey head rig technique is used on largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass; although, any fish can be caught with this type of rig if they bite.
What you will need for the shakey head rig:
1. Jig head hook (1/4, 1/2, 3/4)
2. Plastic worm (Chartreuse is the best color in my opinion)
3. Good monofilament or flourocarbon line (best is probably flourocarbon since it is virtually invisible to the fish) A good flurocarbon that is fairly cheap is the Viscious Fishing brand at Wal-Mart. I would recommend 6-8 lb test for this jig so the line doesn't spook the fish.
How to rig it:
1st, take the jig head and place the head up against the worm and twist it in. I always buy the kind with the twist in heads.
2nd, push the hook into the worm but not all the way through. It should sit at the top of the inside of the plastic worm.
3rd, you have finished the rig. Tie with a palomar knot and you are ready to fish this lure.
To fish this lure, cast out and with the line taught, wait until the lure hits the bottom of the lake or body of freshwater you are fishing. Then, jerk your fishing pole upward once or twice and let it sink to the bottom again. This will attract the fish to the bait thinking it is injured. Once, the fish has taken the bait, set the hook and reel them in.
