15 of the most popular Shaky Head Worms compared underwater! Let’s dive below the surface of the lake and see how your favorite worms compare to the rest of the market. Underwater footage gives us a unique perspective that cuts through the marketing hype, dock talk, and misinformation. Think they’re all the same? Think again!

The shakey head is an important Spring bass fishing technique. Around the country, anglers trust this simple rig to put fish in the boat when nothing else will. We were shocked to see just how different some of these worms are from the rest. One worm stands up with perfect action, while the next quickly falls to bottom. We can clearly see what worms look the best, saving a ton of time and money.

Below you’ll find links to all 15 of the worms that were shown in the video. We’ve also included links to the jigheads, as well as some great rod and reel combos to help you fish the shaky head worm effectively, regardless of your budget. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
