favorite shaky head jig??

[bassin is addicting]

i've never used one...but the bait monkey says i should have a few just in case i want to.   

what is your favorite?

what weight works best for you?

i've got yamamoto Kut tails, trick worms and finesse worms so i think i've got the plastics...just not the shaky heads... open to plastics suggestions too..

thanks..

I love Dozers shakey heads. The keeper screw swivels so its easy to screw on creature/craws.

spot removers. someone has a jig head where the hook swivels separately from the actual weight. i wanna try those but haven't yet. seems like a better chance of buttoning up with em

I have a few, but haven't tried them yet. I've been using the Gambler "Giggy Head" instead.

spot removers reasonably priced and seem to work just fine for me.

[brushhoggin]

thanks stasher, if you can remember, try and keep us posted on your success, or lack thereof, with those. i wonder if they hinder the "stand -up" action the shakey head is known for?

I like to use spot removers. Use the lightest weight you can get away with, so buy a few different weights. Robo worms are my favorite, but hula grubs work well also.

If you use a floating worm, like Berkley's "Power Shaky Worm", it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Was using the Spot Removers for a long time, Until I got my hands on some of the Moaner Hooks "Stiffy" jigs. Quality is all that and then some, plus way better pricing, incredible customer service, and super fast shipping.

By the way... there isn't much better one one of these, than a Rage Tail Thumper or Craw!

it looks like the megastrike has a better design to ALWAYS stand up. 

seems like once in hits bottom the others will fall over??  :-/

i'm thinkin' the Lake Fork hyper worm would work good too??

Owner Ultra Head - 1/16 usually, 1/8 once in a while.

I'm partial to the original ShakE2 jig head.  I know most prefer the coil lock to the barb holder, but I don't.  Here's why.

My most productive bait has been the Strike King 4" finesse worm in coppertreuse color.  The problem that what makes them darn near indestructible also makes them impossible to put on the barb.  I doubt they'd go on the coil holder either since they cannot be put onto the Owner twistlock hooks with the centering pin.

I melt a hole into the end of the SK finesse worms with a heated safety pin.  It can then be installed on the barb, but it has the maddening tendency to slip off on the cast from time to time.

When I finally wised up and put a drop of super glue on the barb, that cured the problem, permanently.  The worm stays on there until I lose the rig.  Have caught over thirty bass and a few pickerel on the same worm before losing it to a rocky bottom.

No matter that the worm is totally scuffed due to the raspy mouths of bass and the toothy mouths of pickerel.  The old, dull worm produces the same as it did when new.

I'm glad the original is still available.

Tru-Tungsten Ikey Head Ball Busters are my favorite. Spot Removers are my second choice.

[K_Mac]

Another vote for Spot removers. 1/8, 3/16, or 1/4 oz depending on the fish and wind. I use a Zoom Trickworm or finesse worm most of the time. Any color as long as it it is green/red or junebug. 8-) Good luck.

I fished about five hours this afternoon/evening, and the shakyhead was the only bait that produced. It is a good arrow to have in the quiver.

[Big Tom]

It is really neat how many different jig heads we all use.

[LazyBASS1301600404]

those megastrike ones look amazing.

[SDoolittle]

those megastrike ones look amazing.

I think they look pretty goofy, but from what I've heard, they really work. I need to try them.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Tru-Tungsten Ikey Head Ball Busters are my favorite. Spot Removers are my second choice.

I use the TT as well. I like the tungsten head on them, great feel.

I tend to drag the jighead in addition to "shaking" it. I like to had the added feel of the tungsten.

[zerofivenismo]

Another vote for spot removers in 1/8, 3/16 oz.  I favor the spring coil over the barb, but will start using super glue for the many barbed spot removers I have sitting my the box...thanks for the tip Rhino.

I switched from Chompers 1/4 oz to Megastrike 1/8 oz and my catch rate has nearly tripled.  I believe it is because the jig always stands the bait up properly.

I have tried many others--spot removers, Picasso, etc. and to date, nothing compares to the Megastrike jig.
