Shakey Head

[johnking82]

I use Spot Remover Shakey Heads and Omega makes a mean shakey head jig. I like them best on big ledge dropoffs and bluff walls.

I use one I make myself because I did not like the others. I sure was not going to pay what they ask for them when I can make them myself. As far as where and when, something you just have to try I have not found any time or type of cover they will not work at the right time. But like all baits I have seen times they will not touch them.

Good luck

I agree with the ledges and bluffs I also like to use them on bright sunny days at the very end of a long point you can't fish these too slow

I dont think there is ever a bad time to pick up the shakey head. It can be fished at any depth, cover or structure, slow or fast. I always keep one tied on with either a tube or a finesse worm. Love to work it around docks. Sometimes the amount of shake will determine the bite, a soft suttle shake is good sometimes, others, rattle it like you are ripping a jig.

Does that have anything to do with a new type of spinnerbait? LOL! I hate the shakey head! Its way too slow! LOL!

Hope all is well with you John, guess i will see you at Barkley? Are you going to fish the KBF?

We were fishing a tournament last summer....90+ air temps...90 degree water temps. Had 2 fish at noon. Went to an old pit with steep drop off
(4' to 25' feet) and fished the shaky head (1/4 oz. spot remover jig with finesse worm) for the FIRST TIME. Loaded the boat over and over. Culled approximately 5 or 6 fish in two hours to win the tournament. Now I have yet to replicate that day but it made me a true believer in the tactic. I'm loaded down this year with a variety of shaky head jigs and finesse worms.

Thanks for everyone's help, looks like it will work just about anywhere. Have a tournament coming up, and i will try it on some deep points. Thanks again.

I have never used them, but have heard nothing but good things about this type setup when fishing is slow or tough, it will put a few fish over the rail. I have never heard of the omega jigs, but going to do a search on goggle and try and check them out. I have been reading and studying about the spot remover shakey head jigs in the stand up style. It looks like that this style jig would make the bait stand on it's head, which is perfect for what it is suppose to do. Any of you guys fish the stand up jigs or is the round ball better to work with and produce. I am fixing to try to find me some and try them, but would like to hear your comments on the stand up style or the round ball, whether pro or con...Thanks

Its funny because I found Omega tackle on accident on fishin.com. I accidently clicked on the Alabama Discussion Board and browsed through their and went on an angle named Casey Martin's website and it was his sponsor. Just go to Google and type in Omega Tackle. I prefer the stand up myself, but honestly haven't experimented with the round head jigs this year. You can also try a 1/8 ounce football head jig. In reality, I think it is more of the type of worm and/or soft plastic you use and the presentation you exhibit that affects the bass bite more but im sure the type of jig head has an impact on fishing.
