Needing shakey head advice/recommendation

[pauldconyers]

Been learning to fish soft plastics for large mouths this year. Learned to fish weightless senkos be it Texas or Wacky rigged. Some times when T-rigged I've used a small tungsten sliding worm weight above the hook as well. I'd like to "feel" the lure a bit more and how my manipulation affects it's movement on the bottom and such. I've been told to try a shakey head but I have no idea what design/brand/size to get. If it helps regarding what you advise when T-rigging I have mostly been using 5 or 7 inch senkos with 4/0 EWG hooks.

i use megastrike pro series if fishing rocks or do nothing banks. 

 

 

 

 

 

if I am fishing around weeds or wood, I use Bagley shaky heads

 

 

1/8 oz. in less than 10ft of water. up to 1/4 oz in deeper water or in wind.

I like the owner cps shaky heads (actually, I prefer the shaky heads I make, but talking production heads here), 1/8 ounce.  Get a pack of finesse trick worms (or zman's finesse wormz) and full sized trick worms and you're good to go.

I use This mold.  If you fish around more weeds than brush, get the mold I linked. But of you fish around more brush, the flat eye model goes over limbs better.  I'm not to picky about the head shape, which is why I just got the round head mold.  The biggest reasons I started pouring shakys is because I could not find the exact hook size, brand, and style I wanted in the weights I use (plus it costs a fraction of the price).  The beauty of making your own stuff is you can have exactly what you want, no compromising.

I just want to buy one type to start with. One that can be used no matter the terrain and such so I can get used to it and deliver if I want to get some more specific to the situation. Any other suggestions for a good all around one to start with?
