Anybody use a shakeyhead this early In the year?

Water temps. In the upper 40's, slightly stained water......Been In the upper 60's all week, plenty of sunshine....

Wish I had water temps like that. I haven't taken a thermometer out lately but I'm pretty confident the 3 feet of ice is still 32 degrees.

To answer your question though, yes a shakey head has worked for me when the temps are in the mid-40s or so. I typically go with a smaller-sized jig fished very slow, though. If your string of warm sunny days continues, I'd try pitching some delicious looking plastics to wood.

Yep, shakey heads can be good early.  But if there is much stain to the water I'd rather be draging a jig or a C rig.

All year. 

all year here in Southeast Virginia as well just a lot slower!!

The shakeyhead is definitely a presentation that I wouldn't leave out with water temperatures in the 40s.

All year long I have a 6" 7" or 8" on.

Early or Late and even in between. This past fall when the lake temperatures dipped into the 40's a Shaky Head was one of the few techniques that helped me to get a bite.

This just answered my question. I'm going with shaky heads myself. Any good colors this time of the year? What size jig should be used?

The most commonly used weight for me is 1/4 oz...

I use 1/8 oz heads more than anything else, I stick to the natural end of the spectrum on colors for the most part, a pretty good rule of thumb is to match the color of the bottom. 

Watermelon or pumkin, it works well for me.
