Swimming a Shaky Head???

[skeeter944]

Ok so I've been catching a ton of fish swimming a shaky head, anybody else do this?

[paducahbasser]

Never done it, but if it works in SC it should work in KY. What baits are you swimming?

Really !? , what makes this so hard to believe ?

Hello Skeeter, yes I have been throwing a Buckeye Lures Spot Remover Pro head with soft plastics like Roboworm or Zoom Mag Finesse worms. The key to the head design is a vertical line tie and the base has a flat stand-up bottom that planes nicely thru weeds and cover.

How many times have you heard people talk about swimming a worm, besides a floating worm?

Are you serious ? Thats probably the exact reason it works. Do you realize nobody was throwing swimbaits , until someone realized it worked ? Im just saying , open mindedness is what makes new techniques work.

If you want to call someone a liar, just say it.

I've caught fish fish swimming a worm, sometimes when reeling it in quickly to make another cast. I've also caught fish on a small piece of soft foam, kinda like a sponge, rubbed with Skoal.

You never can tell what a fish might decide he likes.

mrs. bamabassman LOST a huge bass saturday morning "swimming" a zoom lizard. i saw it rool just before it broke the line. went to day and got braided for BOTH of her spinning reels. no more b reaking lines for her. it was (the bass) porbably over 6 pounds. line just snapped at the boat. she was swimming the lizard in retrieving her lizard, so she could cast it out again, when the monster hit it. and it hit it HARD. one flop and it was gone.

SBK,

You would really hate to read the reports of guys who troll worms then. I am sure that robo makes color called blue gill just to lay there. Suspending a worm above the bottom is not that uncommon.
We swim jigs, sink buzz baits and wake spinner baits. These techniques work even if they are not conventional. So, why not swim a worm?

haha. yeah i catch the, all the time like that, swimming it in.

I've been swimming worms for over 30 years now. It's fairly common. I knew a guy back in the 70's who fished tournyments and did well. He also woould swim worms. It's nothing new.

[CMorg]

Maybe he just learned alittle somethin...he will try it , and change his name to wormswimminkid

Sounds like a good idea with a shakey head weighted hook. They seem to have more angle than a t-rigged worm. Seems like the lower head angle would really give a bigger whip on the tail during the twitches while reeling it in. It's really no different than throwing a crankbait though by swimming a worm. Different bait, same technique.

I caught a few today swimming a weightless white Zoom trick worm. This was my first time doing it.....it won't be the last My wife got her first bass today using the same technique.....she didn't lip it though

[Rebbasser]

How many times have you caught a fish reeling a plastic worm in to make another cast?

Ever hear of a swimming senko? A senko with a paddle tail you t-rig and swim it.

Swimming a jig? I discovered that 25 years ago. How? Cranking it in to make another cast. A fish grabbed it as it went flying by. Ever caught a fish on a curl tail grub fished on a jighead on a straight retrieve? I used to catch them all the time on those.

Nothing new about swimming anything. People have been catching fish with this retrieve for years.

Doing it on a shaky head sounds like a good idea, may be a nice subtle action that they are looking for.

There is a recent article in In Fisherman's 2009 Bass guide that is called "Spooky Smallmouths, Long Lines & Cigars in Space" which is about making very long casts and "space walking" (trolling way behind the boat and swimming back, sometimes with small twitches) snekos or other lifeless worms, like a roboworm. Don't just knock someone if they aren't using the technique that you or kvd, or stacy king is.

Thats a bunch of BS(if its with a weight in the front(maybe a little one to get a floater down a little bit), and I catch fish swimming a FLOATING worm, I just dont think reeling in a worm on a jighead will catch a fish, but you might get a stupid fish once in a while

I use Weightless worms to catch fish all the time, just not swimming a s-head

Man, you don't give up easy, the guy catches fish swimming a worm, just cuz you don't doesn't mean that the fish that he catches are stupid. I've had days when I only get hits on a shaky head when I pull it off the bottom and move it to another spot. You probably wouldn't have believed that a senko would have worked as well as they do dead sticked if it wasn't so main stream now, but it works, and this might too, from the comments that I have seen on here, it obviously does!
