Shakey head...heads.

DadofJolly · 02-25-07, 03:43 PM

OK, seems like none of the pros use carolina rigs anymore. Everybody uses a shaky head for their finesse worms. What kind of jig heads do you guys recommend for shaky head fishing?

God Bless.

I just use hand poured 1/8th ounce jig heads, no trills but they work

carolina-rig-01 · 02-25-07, 05:11 PM

i like this jig head from spot remover. the flat part will sit on the bottom raising your worm straight up in the water. and the spring will keep your wom on the head while letting you rig it weedless.

Check out our own dampeoples and his site pcbaits.com he has some really cool heads. Shakey heads and football heads.

I really like these. The 60degree line tie works best for me. They've also got a 4/0 (vice the 3/0 I usually use) and it really works nice for baits larger than 4".

carolina rig works best in warmer weather..

im looking for a good shaky head jig mold. I cant find the one dampeoples uses. ill have to research it.
but i do like shaky head fishing, it does work on occasion

hookerz makes the best shakey head jigs.the wire moves out to the side so it's easy to screw on a bait.then it's easy to line it up straight so that when it sinks it doesn't spiral as it goes down causing line twist.the hook is probably the sharpest you'll ever see.the owner jason cuda is also a great guy who wants to keep customers happy.

mymomisbecky · 02-25-07, 10:12 PM

yeah, hookerz does make good hooks, no doubt. really wish i could find a mold though haha

I like the HeadShaker jighead from http://www.headshaker.biz/

I use these as well along with another brand BPS sells.

islandflyfisher · 02-26-07, 09:53 PM

They are not on BPS online, but the store might have them. I have some spots where if I could get the worm to float straight up off the bottom, I could do very well.

Thanks! I will have to get some of those.

Hi, yes, I've got two styles.

As far as the c-rig, I've always thought of that as a warm-water technique, and have always used larger baits, lizards, brush hogs, etc. I did used to have a Tx partner that would start and end his day tossing a c-rigged watermelon red flake fluke, no matter the weather!

carolina-rig-01 · 02-27-07, 02:22 AM

yeah sorry it took so long island to get back to ya but they are on bass pros web site. there are a lot of different styles and some good ones were posted on here already but i really prefer the heads that stand the worm up.
