One of my favorite finesse techniques is fishing a finesse worm on a jig head. Sometimes you will hear it referred to as "Shaky Head". This technique works great when fishing in the spring and fall or when the bass have been under a lot of fishing pressure.

Let's take a look at my equipment setup:
Team Daiwa Steez Spinning Reel
Kistler LTX Spinning Rod
6 lb. Berkley Vanish Transition
Venom 4" Tickle Worm
Venom Shakee Head Jig Head

Now, to fish a shaky head it will take lots practice and some patients. What I like to do is cast it out in about 8 - 20 feet of water mostly around rock or riprap. Let the worm fall on a controlled slack line. What I mean by controlled slack is let enough line out to allow the worm fall straight down. Don't leave too much slack or you won't see a bite and don't keep the line too tight or it won't fall straight down. After the cast if nothing hits on the fall let it rest for a few seconds before moving it. Again, let it rest on a controlled slack line. You want to have a bow in the line, but keep it tight enough you'ill see it hop if something picks it up. I like to try to shake the rod tip enough just to make the worm wiggle. Here is where the patients and practice comes into play. There are times I let the worm rest for 30 to 60 seconds. Now if nothing has hit I wiggle it a little more and pause it for just a second. Still, if nothing hits I will hop it a couple feet closer to the boat. I then repeat the steps about until you get a bite or the bait is back to the boat. At times the bite will be really light. Sometimes you really have to concentrate and pay close attention. Most times when you get a bite you will feel a very slight tick come through your rod. If you were paying attention to your line you would have seen it slightly hop. This is where you set the hook. Just a short popping hook set is needed. Remember you are using light line and a hard hook set may break the fish off. Also with todays shart thin wire hooks a big hook set isn't needed. There are times when the fish are fairly aggressive and they want the bait to move a little faster. With aggressive fish you will fill a thump through the rod. Neutral or un-aggressive fish you will be more likely to just see the line hop and not feel anything at all. You just kind of have to experiment and see what they want. It's just when they have been under a lot of fishing pressure that you really have to slow down and methodically work the bait. It's not necessarily an easy technique to pick up. It has taken me a couple years to master, but with some patients and some practice you will have another method to help catch some fish on an otherwise slow day.
