Rangerphil Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I love shakey head fishing, but I feel like I have not found the best jig head for this technique yet! Any suggestions? Quote
hookingem Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 http://www.***.com/Big_Bite_Bait_Gamakatsu_Fin_Twist_Heads_4pk/descpage-BBBFTWH.html These are my favorite I like something with a baitsaver, I also have had much better luck on shaky heads with spherical jig heads without the stand up heads.

I make one almost exactly like that and have had very good luck with it. The only thing different is I cut off most of the corkscrew before I put a bait on it, there really isn't any need for it to be that long and just makes it more difficult to twist your bait on. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Spot removers...great little jig head and can find em just about anywhere.. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 There are some good ones out there to select among. Ike says use tungsten which are expensive. The MegaStrike's Shake2 Shaky Heads are outstanding. There are many rounds ones you can consider. Just remember that if you throw them where the bass are hiding you will lose some. This is why I use the MegaStrikes and tungsten ones in tournaments and others for fun fishing. Quote
Rangerphil Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Sam, I have used the tungsten ones before and have had the hook break just below the head numerous times even out of different packs. Love the way they fished but can not take any chances! Thanks for your recommendation though! Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 Strike King tour grade, both round and football. I hate jig heads with the screw lock bait keeper. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 The MegaStrike's Shake2 Shaky Heads are outstanding. I prefer the Shak-E2 Pro Series http://www.megastrikefishingproducts.com/shop/pro-series-shakey-heads/ 8-) Quote
Mr SwimJig Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Spot removers...great little jig head and can find em just about anywhere.. X2 on these, you can find them anywhere and they are not overly expensive. SJ Quote
WanderLust Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I like the pro series spot remover... I have to check the MegaStrike ones as well. Quote
SDoolittle Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Sam, I have used the tungsten ones before and have had the hook break just below the head numerous times even out of different packs. Are you talking about the Tru Tungsten Ikey Heads? I love those things. I've been using them for years, and I've never had one break. Spot removers...great little jig head and can find em just about anywhere.. I tried Spot Removers three or four years ago, and they seemed like good shakey heads, but all of their hooks were dull. I don't like having to sharpen hooks right out of the package, so I've never bought any since. Quote
Stasher1 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 The one I've had the bast luck with over the past year or so has been the Giggy Head, the standard model with the barbed post, not the screw version. It's not ideal for thinner plastics, but it workes well with a Power Shaky Worm. I also have several packs of the Arkie U-Bolt to try. They look pretty good, but when I'm looking in the tackle box for a shaky head I usually reach for the Giggy Head instead. ;D Quote
Vinny Chase Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I've used Gander Mountains shaky head for years now, and I absolutely love them...never found a reason to switch Quote
Rangerphil Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Yes the ikey heads the hooks would break right below the head! Quote
JigMe Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 http://www.***.com/Tru-Tungsten_Iaconelli_Ikey_Head_Ikes_Spike/descpage-TTIS.html Used to go with buckeye shaky Jig, until I discovered this. Luv it Quote
endless Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I'm using Strike King shakey jigs for now so far I like them. I have some other brand can't remember names with the worm keepers on it just not much luck with those. I also think I have some Archie also that I haven't had much luck with. Sam I heard Green Top has some nice prices on there shakey head jigs there. Does Green Top got any good deals going on? I haven't been there in a long while now. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 Owner shaky ultrahead , love em !!! i use the 1/8 and 1/4 oz. ones Quote
lynyrdsky1 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Spot Removers, Strike King Tour Grade, and Ike Heads I use all of them and they all work fine. Quote
Mono Man in IL Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I've been using 1/16 and 1/8 oz Charlie Brewer Spider Sliders for over 30 years. Of course back then we hadn't heard of Shaky Head fishing. Quote
Josh Bassman Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 1/8 oz spot removers are the best. I use ball heads only when I run out of spot removers... has only happened twice. :'( Quote

endless Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Has anybody ever tried the Bagley Shaky head jigs? I just bought me a pack of 1/16 to try out. $4.29 for 6. Quote
GTrombly Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I have a bunch of ikey heads and if I fish them around rocks the weights keeps separating from the hooks. Quote
JigMe Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 really. never had that problem with the Ikey head, I have used at least 30-40 of them. Well, on the other hand I haven't really fished them around the rocks. Quote
