Jack Jones Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I took a package of 1/8th Arko Shaky Head jigs to Shadowrock today and fitted them with some Zoom Finesse Worms. I did okay with them, but noticed that many times I was just not getting the hook set, or I'd have them hooked but they would throw it before I got them to hand. Has anyone else experienced this with the shaky heads? Am I just setting the hook improperl? Too hard?

RSBreth Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Sounds more like not getting a good enough hook set. Mono?
Mitch f Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I assume you mean "Arkey" not Arco. I've never fished the Arkey detatched football head but I'ts supposed to be good for the shaky. What are your rod specs? and line? "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor

Mitch f Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 6'6" med rod with spinning reel on it and 6 lb SpiderWire. That's plenty of power....I think Gavin's right, the Arkie jigs don't come with great hooks, that's the first thing I'd check "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
