I have been reading up on this shaky head stuff and i think im gonna give it a go next year. Martini78, if you are having problems with hooksets on light bites would it be possible to tie a stinger hook on this rig?? Im a novice at this rig but when i make jigs for walleye i always make a stinger for the end of them. What i find is that right around 50% of the fish i catch are only hooked by the stinger hook.
All i do is take a small split ring and tie some fluoro on it to the length u need it then tie on a small hook. once i have that done i dip the end with the split ring on in some red plastic coat, the stuff u dip your tool handles in. this makes the split ring a solid piece of plastic filling the hole in the center. once it dries you take your jig and push it threw the center of the split ring that has been dipped in plastic. The plastic is very strong and i have never lost a fish due to the split ring coming off the hook. You can customize this anyway you like with sizes and types of hooks.
If you decide to try this u gotta let me know how it works 4 u.
