Shaky head rig

M_A_C_K · 03-26-11, 08:46 PM

Do you guys prefer ball head jigs or flat bottom jigs for shaky head presentation? And do you prefer 90 degree or 60? And whats some plastics you use when shaking it up for the fishies? I like to use both but i do feel that the round shape gives it more action, and I like the 90 degree as it seems to stand up straighter. Just curious fellas.

60 Degree, Flat Bottom with a screw lock.

I usually like to use football heads but they don't do weeds too well so then I go to round. These are all with a screwlock.

I normally use a round head for finesse worms and a football head for bigger baits. Both with a screwlock. I don't use weight over 1/4 oz for shaky head fishing.

I use both round and football heads in either 1/8 or 3/16. Plastic can be just about anything that floats. Current fav is the Hag's Tornado, but I also use SK Finnesse Worms, Zoom Trick, and Davis Shakey Worms.

Never used the flat ones. Always used the ball shape or football shape. 60* eye is my preference. Not settled on whether or not I like screw lock or stranded style.
