I've been trying to expand my bass fishing techniques here lately and went out and bought some shaky head jig heads and fished them with a zoom trick worm. Good news is that they worked like a charm. Caught 5 bass in the first 20 min of fishing. Bad news is that I kept getting hung up and lost all my shaky heads. I've fished Texas rigged worms for years and never had that much trouble working the bait through cover. I rigged the shaky heads weedless just like I rig my Texas rigged worms. What am I doing wrong? Any tips?

You're not doing anything wrong. Losing jigs happens.

go lighter on the jigheads...u will still lose em sometimes, especially in cypress roots, but that is a deadly setup...the angle is different from a Tex rig in the way it's setup, u will lose them sometimes...especially in cover
