bkohlman Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I have a few times, decent success, anyone else? What head do you use? Quote
CTGalloway21 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I put Big Bite Baits Flying Squirrel on a shaky head. I use the Buckeye Spot Removers with the screw lock. Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 17, 2013 Super User Posted December 17, 2013 Everybody´s talkin´bout the new sound, funny, but it´s still rock n´roll to me. Shakeyheading, at least for me, is far from being "new", I´ve been rigging my baits shakey style for more than 3 decades, when I say "my baits" I mean it in plural because in practical terms the vast majority of soft plastics, old and new, can be rigged shakey head style. I do rig hogs ( tiny, baby and brush ) on shakey heads that I pour ( actually they are simple jigheads with different combinations of weight and hook size ). For a BH I would rig it with a 4/0 hook ( weight would chanege depending upon how fast I want the bait to sink ). Try Havoc Subwoofers on a shakey head -----> deadly ! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 17, 2013 Global Moderator Posted December 17, 2013 I fish a baby brush hog on my homemade shakyheads pretty often. Just started pouring a swinging football head (kind of a shakyhead, like the Gene Larew Hardhead jig). Haven't fished them much but they look great with a brush hog rigged on them. 1 Quote
backwater4 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 My son fishes the 4" brush hogs on shakey heads all the time. It's his go to setup and never fails to catch fish. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Ya hogs, craws and beavers work well on a shakey. Megabass makes the best standup head IMO. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted December 18, 2013 Super User Posted December 18, 2013 Add me to the list as well. I caught the one and only citation out of a lake i frequent using a brush hog on a shaky head in black with a blue tail. To me any plastic can be used on a shaky head and i have also had a good amount of success using a stick worm as well. 1 Quote
thehooligan Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Besides worms, ill rig craws and lizards for shakyhead 1 Quote

Yep, try your "favorite" soft plastic, it MIGHT work! I prefer the MegaStrile Shak e2 Pro Series. Here is aother suggestion that I have had good luck with: MegaStrike Tube Craw http://www.megastrikefishingproducts.com/shop/mega-tube-soft-plastic/ Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 18, 2013 Super User Posted December 18, 2013 Yes, I do it all the time. Easier than rigging a Texas rig. And I like the fall and then the tail towards the surface when it hits bottom. 1 Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 18, 2013 Super User Posted December 18, 2013 Zoom superflukes on a SH work too Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted December 19, 2013 Super User Posted December 19, 2013 never considered a d-bomb on a shakey Quote
froggerbass Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Caught my personal best from a public lake on one, absolutely unstoppable bait during the spring. Reaction Innovations shakey head was the best one i ever found, but picasso makes a decent one too. Quote
