Shakey Jigs

Recommended Posts

Hey:

Has anyone out there tried Shakey jigging recently? If so, where do you get the shakey jigs? Bagley's makes the ones I did manage to mooch from a client, now I would like more and in lighter weights. Cabela'a and Bass Pro don't carry them as of yet. I know you can probably order them directly for Bagley's but there should be a retailer out there who has them so a guy can just pick some up.

Great technique by the way. It presents worms in a very different way helping to fine tune finesse worming. Great in the weeds and deep. Caught some monster smallies using them.

Good Fishing

there are a few companies out there who make them. However, you will probably not find any in stores around here. Like ocf says you can use a regular jig head. Try and find one that has a longer shank hook. And stand up style heads seem more popular with shakey guys.. IF I were you I would just google shakey head jig and see what comes up. wink.gif

Hiya -

I'm with Wayne on this one. Either Gopher Mushroom heads, or Northland jigworm heads. I kind of get a kick out of the whole Shakey Head craze. A lot of northern bass guys have been doing basically the same thing for 20 years. Started for me with Gopher Heads and 4" and 6" Producto paddle tail worms...

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

I use Bite Me jigheads and I actually found them in Gander to my surprise. Can get them at BPS also. First heard about them from KVD at a Bassmaster U seminar. As for Bagley's version, I see in the new Cabela's catalog you can get them in several sizes and I think 4 different colors.

Do the Bagley heads really hold the bait on well? The spike on the Bite Me heads works pretty well but is sometimes hard to get the 3X plastics over (I use either the floating 3X or Zoom floating worms for this).

I try to match the head color to the bait as much as possible but not sure that it makes any difference to the fish....

Daze Off

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
