Bass fishing tips for when the lake gets hammered and nothing’s biting, Bass Pro Tour champion Jesse Wiggins leans on one thing: his forgotten shaky head. In this episode, Jesse breaks down the exact system that’s earned him nearly half a million dollars—why this rig still shines when forward-facing sonar, minnow baits, and drop-shots fall flat, plus the gear, retrieves, and subtle tweaks that keep him catching fish when others blank.
What you’ll learn: • Why the shaky head still catches fish on pressured lakes and cold fronts • Exact rod, reel, line, and head Jesse trusts for consistent hookups • The retrieve and cadence that make this rig deadly when others quit • Seasonal rules for docks, rocks, and blind spawners • Key adjustments—head angle, hook size, trailer length—that get bites in clear or stained water • Common mistakes anglers make with shaky heads and how to fix them
Guest: Jesse Wiggins — MLF Bass Pro Tour pro; multi-time national champion; finesse and spotted-bass expert.
