I use a large shakey head jig for ledge fishing during the summer. I have converted the brush jig to a large shakey head to use with 8 - 10+" worms. The first step is to make a twisted loop using 0.022" inch brass wire. I will place this loop in the weed guard slot on the jig mold. I use a silicone jig skirt collar to hold the wire in place and also to stop the lead flow. The collars are not damaged by the heat and can be reused. I also place a skirt collar around the hook shaft to prevent the skirt collar on the jig from being poured ( slightly reduces the weight, but also shifts the balance of the jig so that it stands up better). Here is a picture of the hook and loop in place in the mold. Here is the result prior to powder coating and after the powder coating. I install a commercially available screw lock with a center pin to attach the worm to. I used this jig without the center pin keeper last year and had good luck with it.
