iam new to the shakeyhead type fishing but last week i fished it in some underwater bushes with good results

i was using a lucky strike football shakey head it seemed to come thru the cover pretty easy i was using it like a texas rig not probably the way to fish the shakey head but iam hooked on shakeyhead fishing

I set mine up the same way, thats just the only way that I know how to set it up weedless.

Picasso shakeyheads!!!

titanium spring to screw into the bait and just the best shakeyhead, period.

For dancing something into some light submerged shrubbery, they are real good. Rig them up with a 5-7" straight tail and finesse 'em out of the "heavy" cover!

Hey Len,
That rig is pretty much the same thing I use, 6'6" Fast action spinning, 10lb line...you cant get too aggressive with it, but when your handling <2 lb fish, it works well.

Find yourself a good copolymer line with some abrasion resistance and go to town!

All the best,
BassManDan

Went to tackle-it and bought a pack today. Got 3/16 for a slow sink. Thinking about throwing the floating Margarita Multilator for a slower sink. Opinions please

so how do you guys like the spot removers. i got two packs, 2 different sizes. already hooked up but only once. i think it is a great set up when the jig is being used by everyone.

6" FAT Oxblood Light Red Flake, anytime anywhere. Low light+clear water= Morning Dawn Red Flake or Prism Shad.

I had a 40 fish day on them once. But that was Jan of 2007. They didn't perform as expected this winter.
