Shakey Head Worms - Tricks To Catch More Fish!! ( Underwater Footage!! )

The shaky head worm is an awesome technique for Summer Bass! The technique catches BIG fish but it catches a lot of fish too! Most anglers have a few heads and a favorite worm or two but never realize just how effective this technique can be. When you start to understand the differences between worms, head designs, and hooks, you'll immediately start catching more fish!

Whether you throw a shaky head every trip, or just occasionally pick up a plastic worm, this video is going to help you hone your fishing skills. Subtle differences in plastic composition and worm shape make huge differences in the actions of the worms and how bass react to them. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video, along with the different heads and gear we use to fish these baits effectively. We've also included our favorite colors and sizes for each worm. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Exploring A New Lake! (Bass Fishing In A Swamp)

Come along for a day of bass fishing in a swamp! We're out on the road exploring new lakes and we've found ourselves in the middle of a Southern cypress swamp. Watch as we break down this diverse fishery and catch bass amongst its endless grass lines and fields of standing timber! 

Its rare to see Tim and Matt slow down and fish with plastics. Today is very much a traditional bass fishing day as the duo do all their damage with plastic worms. While they got bit on a handful of reaction baits, Matt caught his fish with a big curly tail worm and Tim found success with a shaky head. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were fishing, as well as the rods and reels they were using to present them effectively. We've also included their terminal tackle, bait colors, and any other pertinent information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
