ib_of_the_damned Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Found a good deal on some spot removers, curious if I should act on it. Are these any better or worse than Shake2 shakey heads?(Shake2's are what I use right now) What is the hook size on the 1/8oz model? Thanks in advance for your advice! Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted May 18, 2010 Super User Posted May 18, 2010 Spot Removers are my favorite shakey head jigs. I use the 1/8 oz most of the time, unless it is too windy. I then use 3/16 or 1/4. The 1/8 oz have 3/0 hooks. I have a very high hook-up percentage with them. I have not used the Shake2 jigs, so I can't compare the two. Quote
Hornytoad 10 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Spot remover's are ok, but i prefer the sneed shaky head, they have mustad hooks in them, they stand up straight, and they have a higher hookup percentage. The website is www.sneedproducts.com. Quote
The Bassinator Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Get the spot removers and see if you like them. I like them but not around rocks or wood you'll get snagged to easily. Very easy hookset though. Quote
s13john Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 pretty good ... hooks straighten out pretty easy though if your using braid Quote
spotaholic Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 They suck...don't use them in any lake that I am fishing. Just kidding. I have one tied on all year long and every time I fish. Don't use braid. The hooks on the standard version were designed for floro and mono. Go up to a the Magnum Spot Remover if you must use braid. The spot remover matched with a zoom finesse worm has caught me more fish then any other bait that I throw. Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted May 18, 2010 Super User Posted May 18, 2010 Josh, no the Zoom worms do not float. They will stand up for a while with the jig because the jig has a faster fall rate than the worm. Quote
spotaholic Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 The worm does not need to float with the head design. Worked on slack line it stands right up. The only negative to the spot remover is in rocks but there are some ways to make that work also. Quote
andamtoft Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I really like them, yes the hooks straighten, but I never experienced that from catching a fish, it happens from getting snagged. They are my go to shaky head jig. Go for it man. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 18, 2010 Super User Posted May 18, 2010 Compared to what you're currently using, the Spot Remover is certainly a step in the right direction. Quote
