The Gambler EZ Shaker™: The Tournament-Proven Swim Jig Upgrade Bass Haven’t Seen Before

In today’s bass fishing world, getting bites isn’t about throwing more baits — it’s about throwing something different. That’s exactly where the Gambler EZ Shaker™ separates itself from traditional swim jig trailers and soft plastics.

With a unique metal blade tail, the EZ Shaker delivers a subtle flash and vibration profile that pressured bass simply aren’t used to seeing. It’s not a bladed jig. It’s not a standard soft plastic. It’s something new — and it’s already proven itself at the tournament level.

In fact, the EZ Shaker recently played a role in a 3rd-place finish at the MLF Toyota Series on Lake Okeechobee!

What Is the Gambler EZ Shaker™?

The Gambler EZ Shaker™ is a next-generation swim jig trailer designed to enhance a swim jig’s effectiveness without overpowering it.

Instead of relying solely on plastic movement, the EZ Shaker features a precision-balanced metal tail blade that creates:

• Subtle flash

• Light vibration

• A natural swimming action that tracks true at all retrieve speeds

This design allows anglers to present something bass haven’t been conditioned to ignore — especially on pressured lakes and during tough bites.

Why the Metal Tail Makes a Difference

Bass see thousands of soft plastic trailers every season. Most of them look and move the same. The EZ Shaker’s metal tail changes that.

Unlike loud, aggressive bladed jigs, the EZ Shaker:

• Adds flash without excessive noise

• Produces vibration that fish can feel but won’t shy away from

• Triggers reaction bites from bass that won’t commit to standard plastics

Tournament-Proven on Lake Okeechobee

Val Osinski - Gambler Lures owner - just knotched a top 10 on Lake Okeechobee at the first 2026 Toyota Series.  During some tough conditions the EZ Shaker seemed to draw bites from more neutral fish who where not reacting to a standard swimjig presentation.  Val used the EZ Shaker to catch some key kicker fish that would lead to an overall 3rd place finish!

Where and When the EZ Shaker Excels

The EZ Shaker is extremely versatile, it can be fished anywhere you would fish a swim jig or swimbait.
