Green Trout Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I am making a trip to Bass Pro soon and planning on buying a pack of Shakey Heads. What is the best 1/4 oz shakey head in your opinion? I fish around a wooded botom. Also I plan on puting an elaztech fattyz worm on the back of it. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted February 26, 2015 Super User Posted February 26, 2015 Since you are going with Z-man you just eliminated every shaky head with a screw lock, and because of that I'd go with either a VMC Rugby head or the Z-man shaky head. I don't even like spear type holders with Z-Man plastics, my fishing partner had Z-Man finesse worms and he was using the Buckeye spot remover with that segmented spear to hold the worm and he was able to stick it in but every single cast he was having to push it in over and over. So now he uses a Rugby head with Z-Man plastics. Quote
Crankinstein Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I like the megastrike shake2 and the warlock shakey heads Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 My favorite by far is the Owner ultra head shakeyhead. 1 Quote

tbone1993 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Custom cast jigs " closer" shakey head. They're in some shops in central IL but also TW. Custom gama hook used. Quote
matuka Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I'll second the Owner Ultra shakey head as well, and I've tried a bunch of them. the centering pin just makes life that much easier, and can't argue with Owner hooks. Only problem is with grass. I haven't found one yet that really performs well in grass. 1 Quote
HookdUP Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Yea the owner is awesome ... But I wish it came with an ewg like he mega strike ... I'm trying the mega strikes in about a week so i hope it is a better solution for me Quote
kikstand454 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Save yourself some grief and just Texas rig your elaztech finess worm on a 2/0 straight shank hook and a 1/8oz bullet weight. The worm will float the hook straight up and down, you will be mostly weedless, and you won't be losing $2 a head when you break off. Jmho. Edit: alternatively, you can take a lighter and heat up a screw lock on ANY shakey head and when you thread the elzatech worm on there- it will stay all day. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted February 27, 2015 Super User Posted February 27, 2015 I looked over the all the shakey heads in BPS near me the other day. None looked like they could compete with the ones that I've gotten from Siebert and from Megastrike. There were some 'sleds' from Buckeye that looked pretty good - not classically a 'shakey head', but the best that I thought BPS head to offer. But, then again, I won't use elaztech at all, so there may well be something decent there for you that I haven't considered with those worms. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 27, 2015 Super User Posted February 27, 2015 VMC Rugby ... my favorite Same here. Quote
plumworm Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I fished Ky. Lake for three years 11-12 -13 where the shakey head is king. I have at least 100+ shakey head jigs from 7-8 companies. I never found one I really liked or one I hated. My favorite as far as style was the screw type, but I am such a clutz that I had a hard time putting it on straight. However, we caught a bunch of fish on all of them. Favorite worm? Netbait shakeyhead worm and we threw a bunch of different brands. Only my opinion. Quote
