shaky head

is this a good technique to use during the summer in a weedy lake by lillys

I would say there are better options. Wacky senko is what I would throw, along with a frog.

thats what i normally do but i was watching a bass show today and i thought it would be a different way to fish for them i looks like it works but i was seeing what others thoughts were

try the wacky jig.... a combo of the two.

Normally when you think of a shakey head rig you are looking at light tackle and open water.  However, in and around weeds and lily pads I see no reason why a shakey head rig would not work as long as you beefed it up for the conditions you are fishing.

Personally I like to use a shakey head when there is not a lot of cover, clear water, and pressured fish.  In weeds and lily pads I prefer frogs, tubes, and texas rigged worms.

I fish shaky heads quite and bit and think that technique really works well on harder type bottoms with less weeds or grass that is not as thick. I like to fish a shaky head slow and use a worm that is very bouyant so you can shake and bounce the worm on the bottom.

What type of plastic are you using? I've used only worms and craws on shaky's. If there is alot of weeds you might be better off just using a texas rig.

i fish this for smallmouth but so far drop shot works the best i use roboworms 4inch and zoom finesse worm also more robo worms they seem to work well they float so thats a very good attribute

shaky head is much better for rocky situations then it is for lily pads. My personal favorite place to fish it is on the tip of a point that has rock piles. Docks r great for this 2
