I like the Owner shakey ultraheads for typical thin finesse worms, or Owner stick bait shakey heads for beavers, craws or thicker worms that need more of a wider gap hook
@db9818 Жыл бұрын
Yep, ultrahead as are my go too, use the mag ultrahead too with 7” Senko, or 8-12” ribbon tail when going big.

Literally watched the video before I went fishing today started with the Jerkbait just about jerked the paint off of it before I switched baits I’ve been stuck on you and DC lake fork tourney so I changed to the spinner bait chunked for an hour and a light went off in my head you said the red or bright red craw plug didn’t have any cover just retaining walls so I put a rattle trap in the bright red and chartreuse bottom 3rd cast wham 2 cast later another I said to myself I her you Wheels so you caught me the fish today keep up the content I gotta have it

Great stuff! My favorite shaky head is the Spot Remover with the larger hook size and the screw lock instead of the nail, seems to catch those ones that barely have it. Awesome bait to drag across points.

The Z-Man SMH Shaky Head was good to me last year, especially with the SMH Worm in Green Pumpkin. Got a lot of bites in tough conditions.

The Spot Remover shakey head is my go to. The one with the screw lock in either green pumpkin or black 🎣

I have gone through my fair share of shacky heads, and I seem to always go back to the Owner Owner Shakey Ultrahead, or the Owner Shakey Football Head. I really like the build in screw lock they have. Very easy to rig and your bait always comes out nice and straight. Great show, watching makes me want to move back to TN so I can fish Pickwick Lake, knowing what I know now about fishing. LOL

Big fan of the owner ultrahead for the smaller shakey head works and the spot remover heads for the bigger shakey head worms

Back in the late 80’s, early 90’s, we threw Shakey Heads called “Papa Smurf Jigs” and “Wade’s Jigs”. Long before the term “shakey head” came along. We used them to catch Spots in fall and spring, rigged with 4 and 5 inch straight tail worms. Killer lure!

i Love fishing a shaky head , ive tried a lot and for me the owner ultrahead ball head seams to work best , has a nice glide when you go as light as you can. Can't beat it when the bite is tough.

VMC Dominator is my favorite shakyhead! The only drawback as a Co angler is getting hung up.... Great video Jacob!

Thanks Jacob. Wiggle warts are a blast to fish. Grind, grind pause doink. Probably in the top 10 cranks ever. I'm changing up my shaky heads this year (they stopped making my heads). Going with the Owner football heads and Grande bass airtail worms (they stand straight up) good colors and texture.
@joshblake4958 Жыл бұрын
I have one pack of those in green pumpkin don’t know where I got them but your right they do stand straight up but u should try the net bait t Mac they are like 4 bucks for 15 worms great colors and they stand up just like that air tail

Shakey head was my first artificial bait. No prior knowledge, I hooked a zoom speed craw to a 1/4 ounce and dropped it like a drop shot str8 under the boat on bass I find on the bottom on 2D. I fish it like pitching but under thereat and in 20-40'. I haven't found a better way to fish a shake head.

I fish the mighty Mississippi for multi spiecies. Use a lot of of jigheads, have went to makin my own with stronger hooks in sizes I need. If I needed a ‘shakey head’ jig with a bigger hook, I’d likely throw a ball or socket eye style head with a 3/0 hook size with a Ewg gap and a needlepoint hook tip. I like zman stuff, so it would have to have a wire keeper of some kind. Screw-in for anything else.
@mikegardiner3934 Жыл бұрын
Always enjoy your vids, Jacob! My favorite shaky head has been the same for the last five years. And even though I’m from Georgia, this one is a favorite out west. And that is the Frenzy baits Nail shakey head. I agree with the previous comment, the Picasso rhino is a good one too.

I'm still looking for a preferred worm jig head. Carrying 4 different brands and just bought my first tungsten heads. Finding one style works better with beaver-style creature baits; better heavier base for standing upright, others better for thin worms, some screw locks lend themselves to secure those soft swimbaits.
@kevinbeaudean704 Жыл бұрын
The yum shaky head works good with creatures and craws. It's a EWG hook and can be used with worms also.

Love these videos I don’t know if I’m the only one but I take your top 5s every time and head straight to the lake and most of the time I catch them good on one of the picks but on the shaky head set up. I like throwing Blats SMH set up his Smh worm has so much action on it without shaking or moving the rod as much the worm stands straight up and just rocks with the current a lot better than some of the other shaky head worms👍🏾

Off subject question. I just sitting here watching one of the cup events. These should be the most watched events. No scope. 1 hr to figure it out. Love it. Think y’all had the right formula just pushed the wrong tournaments. The cups where the style you started with in the very beginning. I think it was your winning format keeping it secret from the fans is what made it not popular. Your thoughts would be interesting. Thanks your the best angler out there. Tell my kid you are the example of how to do something all in.
@peytonfitzgerald8414 Жыл бұрын
I use shakeyheads that I make that have a handtied mono keeper like hayabusa flipping hooks have, and I also mold my own with screwlocks around the shaft that have keeper strength of a screwlock with hook up ratio of a thread-on standard shakeyhead. All heads are a 90degree line tie with a ball head shape

First, I feel like a complete fraud giving YOU any feedback on fishing. OK, now that that is out of the way, I really like the Owner Ultrahead Shaky Head. It has a very sticky, light wire hook, a solid centering pin and is available in various weights and colors. I use both the matte black and green pumpkin colors, and keep pretty much all weights in stock from 1/16 oz to 3/8 oz. I fish primarily in the Carolinas and we can see some pretty dirty water this time of year - Yoo-hoo like in places like High Rock. This jig head seems to work pretty well whether hopping or dragging.

Buckey Lures spot removers shakey head, Gambler Giggy heads, Megastrike Shake2 Shakey head, and Gamakatsu stand up alien heads are the shakey heads I recommend; because I have lost big fish with the screw lock pig tails on most shakey heads. Last year I lost a 7lb smallmouth bass on shakey head with a pig tail because the worm could not slide off of the pigtail keeper.
