silverdoctor Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (My usual interest is "hard baits") Does anyone make a shakey head with like a 1/8 to 3/16 oz. head but with a bigger hook, like at least a 4/0? Maybe a football style? Hope this post doesn't violate the rules; the question is for information only. thanks ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I use football and posion tail heads from 1/8 and up with 3/0 and 4/0 round bend and ewg hooks but I rig my shaky different than most guys do so I doesn't matter what head.

Gloomisman Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've made quite a few lighter ones with 4/0 hooks in my football mold. It leaves a flashing around the lure but you can clean it off with a knife. Its not a big deal to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagio Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I do both football and round. Causes flash on the smaller hooks but you can tighten up the cavity with some Silver Putty or some of the RTV compounds out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadholcombe Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 check out gitbit.net....They have a 1/8 or 3/16 with 4/0 or even a 5/0 if you want. Custom heads...no flashing. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 A 4/0 hook pours just fine in the Do-It football shakeyhead mold. This is what I fish with 90% of the time I need to finesse them. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
