i have been using the giggy head with a trick worm with great success lately. my question is what do you guys use with your giggy/shakey heads? i am looking for other soft plastics to try--any suggestions?

The only plastic I don 't fish on a Giggy head are soft plastic lizards,  hook the shank is not long enough to have the point around the middle of the bait even though it is a 5/0 hook, aside from that all plastics are fair game.

Caught my personal best smallmouth on one.

I actually had a GULP shakey worm on it. Think it's a fluke because I haven't caught anything on the GULP since.

We've had good success with the giggy heads in conjunction with giggy sticks and roboworm zipper shakin worms.

Right now though, we're doing better with strike king finesse worms (jiggled on bottom).

Unfortunately, the giggy heads can't handle the springback of 3x plastic, and push backward off the retainer.

For the SK finesse worms I use the "Slider Spider Classic Head - SPCH8B-U" (direct from Charlie Brewer). This is the breakdown:

> 1/8 oz

> Z-bend shank (retains elaztech plastic)

> 3/0 hook

> Heavy-wire hook

> Round-bend hook

I have one issue with them however, and it's that 'short' hook-barb.

I lost a real good bass just days ago, and I'm still not sure what happened >

the gulp shakey worms worked very well for me last year. except here on the james where id catch way too many kitty cats with it. this year ill be trying the power bait shakey worm instead.
