Shaking/Doodling

A visual finesse technique for catching sluggish bass; involves using the rod tip to invoke subtle movements with the lure.

Tackle

Small (4- to 4 ½-inch) Texas rigged worms, grubs and tubes impaled on a No. 1 or 1/0 hook and tied to 6- to 8- pound line. A small glass bead between the hook and (5/32- to 1/8-ounce) sinker creates noise.

When/Where to Use

Especially effective on suspended bass in clear, deep lakes, but will also produce under stained conditions.
