jigheads for rigging finesse worms
Finally found a tackle shop in my area that has a good selection of soft plastics...and I finally got my hands on some 4 inch finesse and dropshot plastics. Now my question is, what are some good jigheads to fish these things on? Just the plain round head? I've seen the little shots of people bouncing little worms around the bottom on a jig head, basically looking like a little baitfish, and its something I wanna try, so just curious.

Ken, what you are referring to is called a shakey head rig-you rig the worm like a T-rig on a jighead. I have been using these:
http://www.alabamalakes.com/site/Scr...?idproduct=612 The long shank hook makes it easy to rig it. And Larry at Alabama Lakes will take good care of you. Another good one is a spot remover jighead-a little different from the usual jig head: http://www.buckeyelures.com/spot_remover.html

shhhhhhhhhh...don't tell anyone..but if you tear a red shad senko in half,put it on that jig head and fish in 18 to 24 foot of water when the water is mid 40's you will catch bass.(near dropoff)

If you can find them...they're not made anymore but, Bobby Garland's Better Fishing Ways made a jig head called the TR Jig head that are made using an offset jig hook. They are a rounded triangular shape and use a 3/0 hook. He made them for the tubes but they work great for anysoft plastic like a worm or grub. I use the slider jig heads also. Both come in 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 oz sizes.

basicly a slider head.. the spot remover jig head is a wide gap gammy hook ideal for bulky baits -beavers and paca craws.. zooker

wow, I guess I wasn't too far off track with what I was looking at..lol. The roundball, of course , I mentioned, but i was also curious about the owner bullet heads and the slider heads. I was also thinking about the guppy or minnow jighead, but I believe I'll pass on that for now.
Thanks you guys for making some suggestions and helpin me out, much appreciated! |

You know you can do what I do, and just peg a weight, and put on a good Gammy or Owner Hook.

does that work in the same way lizards? It doesn't seem like the rig would be as "rigid" as a jighead, where the hook is molded in the weight.
I thought the Owner Jobee hooks looked good, but didn't know if that type of weight(bullet) would really work as wekk as the straight hooks in most jigheads. |

when is the shaky head most productive? By the way, i prefer a 1/8 to 3/16 oz. size jig head with a 4" worm, my best worm colors are electric blue(grape), Black, Black/chart., and motor oil. The size of hooks on the jig heads are only a size 4 or 6, either one, this is my favorite technique for fishing small farm ponds... Thanks
Ryan

Lizards, do you use something like http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...rTarget=browse
or http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...rTarget=browse Just curious as I've never used rubber before, but it sounds like a much more viable option than toothpicks. |

pnj,
Ya remember when Slider worms had this same technique with the similiar jig head , but using a 3 0r 4 inch worm. Now that anglers are using the same principle, its got my interest in try to "shake the head" on a dif. style or larger worm. Guess I had forgot about it till I read the thread....this forum brings up the ideas thats for sure. |

PNJ,
I must say that the Owner Stand-up jig does look quite nice. Heck of a selection there. Lizards

JB, I remember them well, They sure didn't look like much, but they consistantly put fish in the boat.Isn't it funny we outgrew using a lure that worked well in search for something that looks better to us ? I still use the slider heads with the bigger worms drifting behind the boat over the weed beds when its too windy to fish the area slower.I use the newer classic slider heads, they have a heavier 3/0 hook than the original slider heads.

what are the advantages of a jighead vs. just using a screw in bullet and hook.

All the screw in does is keep the plastic on, near the lead head.
PnJ, Around here the brown Slider with a orange tip tail was a good 'un to use.. I like your thinking on this one, why DO we keep going to the latest trend while old standbys have worked just fine..plus no one uses them as much anymore , so you know the fish aren't used to seeing it time after time.. |
