Basically there are two types of shaky heads, right?  The kind that you tx rig some plastic on the hook shaft of the jig and the other kind, with a spring, post, or something that you impale the nose of the plastic that you're going to tx rig.  I think that they both work and I own many different brands of both types.

 

More often than not, I use the  spring style, because I think that they are a little easier to rig and I seem to get better hook sets.  A couple of favorites are the "Hazey Daze" jig head, home made and purchased from some bait shop around Table Rock Lake and some that are a little more commercially available, the Chompers shakey head.

 

If I am going to "bubba up" to fish a shakey worm presentation, the 3/8 Chompers head is ideal, IMO.

One of these days, I am going to try the Mega Strike ones, but they really aren't commercially available  in the KC area currently.   Rogers Lures in Liberty carries a small assortment, but not in the sizes I want.

What tackle do you guys throw a shakey head on

I have watch all kinds of baits getting dragged in the rocks/rip rap etc. Here is whats going on down there. The weight is falling between the two rocks.The line is getting wedged at the point of contact between the two rocks. As the angler pulls tension on the line it pulls the head to the point of contact between the two rocks. ANGLERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL THIS AND NOT SET THE HOOK BUT JUST SHAKE THE WEDGE FREE>  Of coarse if you pull it tight its going to get hung up. REMEMBER it has to come out the opposite way it went in . As you shake it free -lift slowly and the skid plate(fulcrum) will ride right over the obstruction. Too many of the anglers just set it and pull it tight-That's frustration and being an amateur. And losing baits aint no fun.
