I haven't been much of a shakey head angler in the past, but I will move to shakey heads in some conditions. I will likely intensify my use in 2015. I want to catch bass, and if it's necessary to use a shakely head, then I will do it.

I have numerous small and large worms that can be used.

I recently saw a video that recommends use of a worm with one flat side, like many of the hand-poured worms. This flat side creates a fluttery fall that attracts bass on the fall much more than an all-round worm like a Zoom Shakey Head worm.

Is the flat-side worm much better? If so, what brand and type?

I would greatly appreciate info on your preferred shakey head worm.

Thanks,

Fred

My fav is NetBait T-Mac. If I want to go smaller, NetBait Finesse or Big Bite Baits Squirrel Tail. Reaction Innovations Flirts work well also. I also have great luck fishing craws on the shaky head.

Big Bite Squirrel Tail X 2.

Also, Yamamoto 4" finesse Senko been good for me.

Interesting about the craw...what brand craw, size, and your preferred colors?

Zoom Trickworm, pumpkin'ed jig.

My all time favorite is the Zoom Shakey head in junebug.

Reins and Keitech make some nice works for shakin.

Jackall flick shake and Zooms

BlaineFred, PM me your address and I'll send you a sample of the worms I use and they work great. I use a worm from a small manufacturer called River Rock Baits, the worm is the SM Killer and it is dynamite on a shaky head, in fact it is the only worm I ever caught a largemouth on in water under 40 degrees. It is a 4.5" straight tail worm with a flat side but it isn't hand poured, it resembles the only Berkley finesse worm and when the bite gets tough in mid to late summer, this is the worm I use and I use it on a 1/8oz shaky head most of the time but I will drop down to a 1/16oz for a slower fall if need be. I also like the 6" Basstrix Loco-Motion worm in watermelon/black bars, that is a great worm for clear water, in dingy water forget it but clear water it is a killer and for a bigger presentation I really like the Stanley 5.5" Sidewinder, very underrated worm, this is a good one for dirty water as it has a big profile but really isn't that big.

Best worms in the business and great people to deal with.

Another vote for the NetBait T-Mac. I use them in a pretty wide range of colors but I'd say 2 of my favorites are A's Magic and Paca Melon.

Squirrel Tail worm for sure. The floating tail provides that subtle action I look for in a shaky had. It works itself. Any small plastic will work though

Reaction Innovations Flirt in both sizes

reaction innovations flirt and of course roboworms in Aarons magic is $

The zoom trick worm normally works for me.
