Best time to use shaky rig?

[okumasheffield]

Started trying to catch some fish with 'shaky' rig but have not had any successes regardless time of the day, underwater structure, depth, water color ... etc

 

wonder if I have been doing it wrong and am looking for advises

 

Thanks!

I like using your typical cigar style worms in black/silver or a natural colour. I like to trim off an inch or so making it around 4" for bass or about 3.5" for walleye. For bass ill use this technique around deadheads or on/around reefs, 12-25 fow. Usually use 8lb fluoro on a 6'6 or 6'8 med rod with a spinning reel. Get my bait to where i want it, hold the rod tip at 11 o'clock and just gently shake the rod tip, stop, repeat and then occasionally pop it up a good foot or so. Walleye is about the same but only right at pre spawn or fall

Its great for tempting suspended fish.
