I have heard so many weights to use for the shakey head. But however if you had to have one weight to fish in 5-15 feet of water mabey up to 20 what would you choose.

1/4 oz

I use 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4oz on shakey heads depending on depth, etc. and if you can only have one use the 3/16oz.

I pretty much only use 1/4oz

1/4oz. I like a 3/16oz in 5-10 fow, and a 1/8oz in less than 5 foot of water. 1/4oz tends to snag a bunch in super shallow water.

1/4oz all day for the most part. 

1/4 oz

I fish mainly an 1/8oz but will go down to a 1/16 or up to a 3/8 depending on the wind. For your needs, I'd go with a 1/4oz if I was going to only buy one size.

Thanks it really helped does anyone know any good videos about how to use one?
