Title: Serious Shaky Heads
Post by: smalljaw on 05/07/14 13:48 UTC
Here are some new shaky heads I made for use with bulkier plastics, this is another new hook, it is an Eagle Claw 3014 Black Platinum 1/0 light wire but they are long hooks about the size of a 4/0. These are 1/8oz painted matte black and will work with baits like a brush hog, and this is exactly what I like about Do-it molds, they allow me to cast a bait with tight enough tolerances that I don't have flash but loose enough that I can use a wide variety of hooks to meet my needs.

Can you make 1/2 -3/4 oz. ones?  I live near a very deep clear lake and in summer they go deep.  I want a heavier shakey head to get down there fast.

Lamar, I'm not sure why they are large like that but they are indeed 1/0 but as I said, these are around a 4/0 in other hooks. These are perfect for fishing larger worms like the Stanley sidewinder or creature baits like the brush hog. I made these before with the Mustad 38109 in a 3/0 and 4/0 for the same deal but I like these much better because the shank is straight with the wide gap, I feel these are going to work great.
