Do you guys find that you hook fewer on a shaky head than a Texas rig? I've had days this year when they definitely hit the shaky head better, but I hook fewer of them. It may be due more to the type worm I'm using.
If you’ll bend the shank of your hook just a couple degrees it’ll increase your hookup percentage. I’ll post a link of a video where it’s explained. Fast forward to 3:05 if you don’t want to hear his other info.
Thanks, I'll try that. I fished this morning and they seemed to quit hitting my Texas rig, so I switched to a shaky head and caught 3 in just a few minutes. Then I started missing them and missed the last 4 or 5 bites I got. But a couple of them bit half the worm off, so my technique wouldn't have mattered on those. I find that I wind up with half the worm more often with the shaky head. I would rather fish with a Texas rig, but you gotta go with what they will hit.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
