Flick Shake
Does anyone use the flick shake technique? I just picked it up for fishing 20' of really clear water and it worked well. I used the flick shake worm, zoom swamp crawler, trick worm, senko, and finesse worm. All caught a fish. Also any tips would be appreciated.

The best thing I do with it is I really don't shake the rod, but squeeze the handle and that puts enough vibrations in your shaky worm.

I really like the Flick Shake technique around overhanging brush, undercut banks and docks. Iaconelli has a new flick shake jighead manufactured by Tru-Tungsten that is very good. The original Zappu jighead is great as well, and comes in 3/32oz. while Ike's does not.
I use three baits primarily for flick shake. They are the Reins Cross Swamp, the Jackall Flick Shake Worm and the Damiki Swing. I think me and bcklash agree that with Flick Shake, "less is more". I do twitch my rod tip, but not very much. Vibrate your rod tip enough to make your lure vibrate.. not twitch. Your choice of line is of ultimate importance with this technique. If I'm not worried about losing a fish in cover, I'll use 4lb. test fluorocarbon. For all other instances, the heaviest line I'll use for Flick Shake is 6lb. test fluorocarbon. |

This is fished wacky style. It's pretty much a wacky rig w/ a weighted hook I believe.

WJ,
Basically instead of wacky rigging with a plain hook, you rig it wacky with a jig head in its simplest form as bb said. What is probably throwing you off is its name, flick shake. I reckon it sounds more appealing and intriguing than wacky rig 'n jig. Woh, I just made that up! I have experimented with it and I really like it so far even though it hasn't produced yet.

I have used a simalar technique were I have put finish nails in the head and tail of a 5" senko and buried them in by pushng them in with a toothpick. I haven't fished it that much, but I have managed to fool a few with it.

Does the type of jig head make a huge difference? Say for example what if I put it on a
1/8 Strike King shaky head jig w/ a 5min senko? What are the basic guide lines if any?

1/8 oz is probably a good place to start.

So do you still twitch it back like a wacky?...Guess it goes for any plastic and just kinda do your own thing,right?

I use the 5.8" flick shake worm,primarily camo color but for non other reason than I have confidence in it.I use 1/8 oz. weighted heads the Jackall wacky head and the Zappu inchi wacky jigheads.
