GoneFishingLTN Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 What shakey head weights do you Carry? 1 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted November 7, 2024 Super User Posted November 7, 2024 Since I use shakey primarily as a finesse presentation, my weights are 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4. 3 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 I mostly use 1/4 and once in awhile 3/8. My favorite rig is my Dredge Shaky head 1/4 with a Rage Menace. Normaly GP purple gold. 2 Quote
Texas Flood Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Normally a 1/4 but when fishing deep brush or with stronger winds I will switch to 3/8 Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 7, 2024 Super User Posted November 7, 2024 I fish it a lot. Right now smallmouth are from 2-6’ deep where I fish so I am rigging light (1/16 and 3/32). I carry 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, and 1/4. Slight changes can really make a difference if you are attuned. Wind can really affect what I use. 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted November 7, 2024 Super User Posted November 7, 2024 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4oz are the 3 I use but I could probably get away with just 3/16. Allen 4 Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted November 8, 2024 Posted November 8, 2024 I do the best with 1/16 and 3/32. thats what I use most often. I'll go up to 3/16, but its rare. Quote
Brian11719 Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 3/16 4/0 owner shakey ultrahead for me...I typically use a 1/8oz for a ned but typically throw a shakey head in specific spots where the water can get deeper and that's the best setup I've found... 2 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted November 10, 2024 Super User Posted November 10, 2024 1/16, 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4. I like Owners In Weed Head. I bought several packs at a JDM site. I also like Buckeye jigs as well. 2 Quote
FishTax Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 3/16 is my primary. I also have 1/8 and 1/4 on standby just in case. I've caught fish on them all. I only use 1/4 in wind so I can feel it, or when I think a quick fall rate will trigger them. Quote
papajoe222 Posted November 15, 2024 Posted November 15, 2024 I go heavy, 3/8oz. as I rarely fish a shakey head in water under 15ft. When I move it, it's with an upward sweep and reel that will move it 3-5ft., let it sit and let it sit some more. On occasion, like when I'm looking for a change in bottom composition, I'll drag it, but more often than not, I'm using a football jig for that. Quote
CM-fisher Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 I really just use 1/8 oz, I don't find myself fishing very deep often, and with shakey heads I'm usually in 6-12'. D&L make some good shakey heads and paired with a zoom finesse worm, that combo is so much fun on a spinning rod Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted November 17, 2024 Super User Posted November 17, 2024 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4. 1/8 gets the call most often. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 19, 2024 Super User Posted November 19, 2024 1/16th, 1/8th, and 3/16th... coincidencently those are also the same size ned, hover rig, and finesse swimbait head sizes I use as well. 1/16th = super shallow, calm water. Also the best size for skipping 1/8 = the "do all size"...great shallow when there's a little wind, and great out to 10-12 feet If it's not too windy 3/16 = deep grass line, or rock pile size. Also is my preferred size for slowly dragging a worm around as it ensures bottom contact better than 1/8th in water over 10 feet deep. Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted November 20, 2024 Super User Posted November 20, 2024 ive moved on from regular Shakey heads. I have taken to the Ryugi weight that I can clip to any hook. I use 3/16th for my waters. this spring!! I can't wait. Quote
JodonFishing Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 3/16 owner ultra shake is the only one I carry. zoom trick worm probably green pumpkin blue flake. does the job in any condition. if I need something more finess im going with a Neko rig Quote
