Who Puts A Brush Hog On A Shakey Head?

Featured Replies

I have a few times, decent success, anyone else? What head do you use?

I put Big Bite Baits Flying Squirrel on a shaky head.  I use the Buckeye Spot Removers with the screw lock.

Everybody´s talkin´bout the new sound, funny, but it´s still rock n´roll to me.

 

Shakeyheading, at least for me, is far from being "new", I´ve been rigging my baits shakey style for more than 3 decades, when I say "my baits" I mean it in plural because in practical terms the vast majority of soft plastics, old and new, can be rigged shakey head style.

 

I do rig hogs ( tiny, baby and brush ) on shakey heads that I pour ( actually they are simple jigheads with different combinations of weight and hook size ). For a BH I would rig it with a 4/0 hook ( weight would chanege depending upon how fast I want the bait to sink ).

 

Try Havoc Subwoofers on a shakey head -----> deadly !

I fish a baby brush hog on my homemade shakyheads pretty often. Just started pouring a swinging football head (kind of a shakyhead, like the Gene Larew Hardhead jig). Haven't fished them much but they look great with a brush hog rigged on them. 

My son fishes the 4" brush hogs on shakey heads all the time. It's his go to setup and never fails to catch fish. 

Ya hogs, craws and beavers work well on a shakey.

 

Megabass makes the best standup head IMO.

Add me to the list as well.  I caught the one and only citation out of a lake i frequent using a brush hog on a shaky head in black with a blue tail.  To me any plastic can be used on a shaky head and i have also had a good amount of success using a stick worm as well.

Besides worms, ill rig craws and lizards for shakyhead  :respect-059:

Yep, try your "favorite" soft plastic, it MIGHT work!

I prefer the MegaStrile Shak e2 Pro Series. Here is

aother suggestion that I have had good luck with:

Yes, I do it all the time.

 

Easier than rigging a Texas rig.

 

And I like the fall and then the tail towards the surface when it hits bottom.

never considered a d-bomb on a shakey

Caught my personal best from a public lake on one, absolutely unstoppable bait during the spring. Reaction Innovations shakey head was the best one i ever found, but picasso makes a decent one too.
