As far as the comparason between shaky head and Senko fishing, you're looking at apples and oranges. Senkos are going to catch boat loads of fish that are generally associated with shoreline structure and shallow weedy areas. Shaky head is most effective when its hard to get a bite. For instance, right now in Northeast PA, you won't get a hit on a weightless Senko because the fish are holding in 8 to 12 feet of water, moving shallower only when its really sunny. Since the fish aren't actively feeding, a small finesse bait like a slim worm on a shaky jig is a great weapon.
If you want to try shaky head fishing for less than $10, go to www.tacklewarehouse.com and order a package of 1/4 oz Picasso shaky jig heads and a pack of Reaction Innovations Flirt worms. You definately want a worm that floats or at least has a light and buoyant tail section. Berkley Power Shaky worms are also decent.
