What size shakey head for LOZ?

[kvo113]

I'm about to buy a new shakey head set up and was just wondering what shakey head size you guys prefer for LOZ? I see a lot of companies marketing bigger (1/4+) shakey heads around here, but most of the articles I've read about shakey head fishing involves 1/8 and 3/16 jig heads. I'm between a loomis 822 syr and 823 syr by the way. thanks!

Heavy at least 1/2 oz and 5/8 up to 1 oz are popular. Beilieve it or not those heavy jigs are used in shallow water as well as deep. These are flipped and pitched.

I go pretty robust and heavy.  3/8 with oversize hooks and a fat worm, fished on a Med casting rig and 15# line.  

Spinning gear, lighter heads, and skinny worms work too, but usually you are fishing in or near brushpiles or over dock cables.

I mostly use 5/16, 3/8 and 7/16 but like plug said some go heavier.

My mistake I do use a lot of a 3/8 and 5/16. Mind is fleeting at my age. I am kind of forgetting I guess becuase of all my drop shotting addiction.

I make my own. I use 1/4oz on my Carolina rod and 1/8 on a spinning outfit. If I feel I need to go heavier I'll throw a Texas rig or just a regular jig.  I always throw a green pumpkin trick worm or a finesse worm. I use my shakey head to locate the fish. Then concentrate on them with a jig or spinner bait. But sometimes the bigger ones want the shakey head.
