Jackall's Flick Shake Worm: A New Approach to Finesse Fishing
The author's son, Jacob Narveson, lands a Lake Atkins bass on the
Jackall Flick Shake Worm!!!
Story by Terrance Narveson
Among the many great lures that Jackall has out on the market, this is one
that fishermen have tried to keep a secret. The Jackall Flick Shake worm
works well with a variety of different techniques. The versatility of the Flick
Shake Worm allows fishermen to rig it depending on the situation. If it is
shallow/snaggy, you can Texas-rig it for a slow fall or tip it with a nail or
bullet weight to get into deeper brush. If you are in a little more open water,
then Wacky rigging with a Flick Shake jig head or an open hook and the
bait will give you a presentation that is second to none. The center weighting
in the worm lets it fall with a kind of squirming action that appears to be
alive, and with a few small twitches of the rod you have what appears to be
live worm dangling on a hook. The slow fall is very enticing to weary fish. I
was able to bed fish with this bait very easily and the reaction of the fish
when the Flick Shake Worm was falling into the bed was amazing. The first
fish I cast to on a bed took only 6 casts to finally hook and land. It is a kill
strike when a fish grabs the Flick Shake, none of this tap, tap, tap. Either
the fish is on and running away with your worm or you thought about it too
long and didn’t set the hook. The Flick Shake worms have a realistic feel
and they have a live fish scent and salt is injected to add to the appeal.
When you have schooling fish, this is a hard option to pass up as the slower
fall and erratic action makes it look like a wounded prey item. I have
personally fished this in the grass, out in the open water off ledges, around
brush piles, in the bushes, and in heavy wood cover. No matter where I
threw it, there seemed to be a fish that couldn’t pass it up. There are 12
great colors and most are available in three sizes, 4.8”, 5.8”, 6.8”. The
different colors can be found on Jackall’s website (www.jackall-lures.com)
and they have some different rigging techniques available to see in case
you are looking for options. If you are struggling with your shakey head
technique then you need to pick up some Flick Shake Worms, the Jackal
Flick Shake jig heads, and go to town. Your partner will wonder what he is
doing wrong when you keep yelling for the net!!!
