Description

The Strike King pros' design for the best jig head for rigging baits for shaky style techniques and is great for regular jig head methods too. The Strike King Shakey Head has a special barb that helps stand baits up for better "shaky head" action and holds ElazTech 3X and regular plastics perfectly in place. The Strike King Tour Grade Shakey Heads 60 degree flat eye Gamakatsu hook keeps the line knot in the proper place and enables better hook sets. The Tour Grade Shakey Head's hook eye is flush with the head for a more streamlined look and is more efficient in cover. Kevin VanDam used a 1/8-ounce Strike King shaky head with a dirt color Strike King 3X ElazTech finesse worm to win the BASS Elite Series at Smith Mountain Lake. KVD estimated this setup accounted for 75% of the fish he caught.

Field Notes

Use this shaky head jig to rig soft plastics (including ElazTech 3X) for a controlled, bottom-oriented presentation. Cast to the target area and work with short shakes/pauses to keep the bait standing and triggering the “shaky head” action, especially around cover where a streamlined eye helps with efficient hooksets.
