I fish ponds with a muck bottoms. I want to try to fish larger profile worms like bull worm, mag trick, yum mighty, and such on a shakey head/ swing head. Its hard to find a 5/0,4/0 with a lighter weight. I'm looking for 1/8 or 3/16 in that size. Does anyone know where I can find one? Maybe I just overlooked it.

Arkie makes round heads in the sizes you're looking for, but the hook that comes with it is a 2/0 or 3/0, one of those.

 

MY advice, if you want to go that small - get some egg sinkers ( or some other shape you like ), some wire ( the heaviest you can bend), your Dremel & some cutting wheels, appropriate size hooks and some solder  ( or maybe epoxy, or bondo, something like that) to fill in niches, and go work work and make your own.  Don't forget goggles or other eye protection when messing around with Dremel & cutting wheels.

 

Gene Larew Hard head go down to 5/16 oz.

 

Something to consider - as a general rule Biffle Bug type heads & baits work best on harder sand/ rocky bottoms.  Throwing a swing head jig, of any weight, on a mucky bottom might just be asking for it.

zman shaky headz are great, just texpose your plastic and let er fly

My advice would be to message Sieberts and see if he could make some for you.

I've used a Yum Pumpkin Head for bigger worms. To get a 4/0 or 5/0 hook you have to go to 1/4 oz.

I make my own for fishing in heavy rock because they don't drop down in the cracks as bad. Those big worms don't need much weight and kind of glide along on the fall. Most of my fishing is shallower than 15' so I normally put a 5/0 or 6/0 EGW on an 1/8oz head.
