Shaky head Jighead Size.

[muskie_man]

I just picked up some Berkely 5 inch shaky worms and Manns hardnose 5 inch Finesse worm. I am looking to fish these on an upcoming trip to dale hollow. i picked up some 1/4 oz bite me shaky jigheads. Will the 1/4 oz jighead be a good weight to use on the shaky head on a clear deep lake like dale hollow? Thanks for any info!

the spot remover is a good shakey head, dont set the hook.. just start reeling. i caught lots of fish this year at dale on the shakey head. remember to fish them slow on the edge of the grass lines

spot removers are old news. people use them because there cheaper. buy reaction innovation shakey heads. think there called screwd up shakey head. i usually use 1/8 ounce. no offense trent

I dont need to know what brand of shaky heads to buy i just need to know if the 1/4 oz jighead be a good weight to use on the shaky head on a clear deep lake like dale hollow?

I usually use 1/8 oz but will use 1/4 oz if I'm fishing over 15 feet deep.

1/16 oz is my favorite!

Different conditions call for different sizes. I usually use a 1/8 or 1/16 when i can get away with it. If the wind is up I have to go to a larger size like a 1/4. I just keep different weights and try to get by with the lightest I can and still stay in contact with it on the bottom. Only you can tell which size that is at the time. Get you some different sizes and experiment. When I fished Dale last I used a 3/32 the first day and had to go up to a 1/4 the next with the wind that came in and then gave up on it because I couldnt stay in contact with the bottom. Good Luck

I have used shaky heads a lot on clear and stained water. When using shaky heads in depths down to 20' I stick with 1/8 oz. However, when going deeper than that I use 1/8 to 1/4 oz. (depending on the shape of the jig head). I make my own aspirin head jigs that fall at a fast rate, even at 1/8 oz. sizes. I also use florocarbon line in 8 and 10 lb. variaties (depending on the depth). Florocarbon will sink faster than mono.
