Targeting bluegill beds with a shaky head worm is an effective way to catch post-spawn bass, but finding beds can be challenging, especially in dirty or dark water. Wired2Fish’s Mitch Anderson demonstrates the power of side imaging to find shallow-water bluegill beds when the naked eye falls short.
TACKLE USED:
- Lunkerhunt Core Strength Limit Worm
- WOO! Tungsten Shaky Head, 1/4-ounce
- Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 106sv
- Daiwa Fuego LT Spinning Reel, size: 2500
- Sufix 832 Braided Line Lo-Vis Green, 8lb
- Falcon Lowrider Spinning Rod, 6’10” M
Anderson prefers a stand-up shaky head jig and worm combination for slipping through grass and presenting bass a visible and tempting target. He shares his go-to rod, reel, and line set up for this system and why a short fluorocarbon leader is better than a longer one when fishing around grass.
