cwb60 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 What weight shaky head do you guys use? Do you base your decision on the size of the plastic you are using or the depth you are fishing? Example, what weight for a finesse worm fishing in 2 to 10 ft. of water. Quote
ichigo Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 for shakey head 2-10 i would use 1/8 or 3/16 or 1/4 it all depends on how fast you want to fall and wind Quote
Shad_Master Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I don't do SH a lot, but when I do I tend to go with 1/4 oz as a universal - I can't see there being that much difference in a 1/16 or 1/7 oz either way. Quote
Bass XL Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I use 1/8 for almost all situations. On a very rare occasion, I'll use 1/4 oz. Quote
MMan16 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Depends on what I'm fishing. For example if I'm fishing a craw I like to use a heavier weight to try and drag the craw across the bottom and also for making small hops with it. If its a worm I like bigger hops and being able to shake the rod tip and have it quiver. Everyone will probably have different techniques and they all probably work. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted September 30, 2010 Super User Posted September 30, 2010 Usually I'm using 3/16. If the wind is heavy, I'll bump to 1/4. If it's really deep and the wind is heavy, I'll go as high as 3/8. Quote
Josh Bassman Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I like to use 1/8 or 3/16. If the conditions call for a heavier weight, I'll use a different lure. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I use 1/8 for almost all situations. On a very rare occasion, I'll use 1/4 oz. x2 Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted September 30, 2010 Super User Posted September 30, 2010 usually 1/8-3/16, sometimes a 1/4 but only with strong wind. Quote
mk49 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Depending on the bottom structure, but normally 1/16oz with the spinning and 1/8oz with the baitcaster. Quote
