Shaky head

[5bites]

what do you consider to be THE shaky head jig head? The best one out there in your opinion. Bonus points if they don't come with the screw on bait keeper. 

 

What weight/weights do you commonly use?

I've had the best luck with this one.  3/16 is what I use the most, I'll go to an 1/8 in the Spring.

I like the boss shakey head as well.

I happen to like the screw on head. I like the Buckeye Spot Removers pro model with that screw lock head (NOT the one with just the nail head). They get hung up more than standard round ball heads but they stand strait up and the the angle of the hook always seems to have a good hookup percentage for me. Weight is determined on depth, bottom contour/composition and wind factor.  So anywhere from 1/8-1/4 for me.

I'm pretty partial to my stand up football head's I make.

if you wanna get really crazy on a shakey head that's beefed up, check these bad boys out.  I make them in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 oz all the way up to a size 7/0 hook.  Please excuse the lousy picture.

The screw lock thing doesn't bother me as much on the big heads and worms. The little worms I'm not a fan. Arkie has the setup I like best so far. I'll see if I can dig up a pic.

I have been using the buckeye's with the screw lock head for years.  The short shank hook is just right for the smaller plastics.  Like Ab I use 1/8 to 1/4 size depending on how deep and windy the conditions.  Hook Line & Sinker in Rogers also makes a Bass X head that has a longer shank hook that is useful for larger plastics and especially big worms, it also has a screw lock head.  These are good in heavier weights.

I thought a couple couple of friends were the only folks using the big 3/4 oz heads.  I ended up making a mold a few years ago because there were none around.

Very nice looking heads Travis.  If I am fishing with anything at or above 3/8 oz I am using a skirted football jig with a trailer.  Your extra large heads would certainly have a different look for those deep fish.
