This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Shakey Head Jigs?

What shakey head jigs are you guys using? 

I really like the technique, but haven't found a jig of preference.  I'm using 4-6" finesse worms usually, with a medium Fast action, or a Medium Light ExtraFast action rod.  (actually, i was using a 6" zipper worm on a 3/8oz jig head with a MHXF rod last week with success). 

Just wanted to see what everyone's preference was.

I like the Strike King shakey head jigs.  The have a 4/0 hook w/ a 60 degree flat eye.  I normally use an 1/8 oz.

2nd vote for the Strike King Shakey football jig.  Plenty strong and sharp out of the package.  I use both 1/8 and 3/16 sizes.

Heck if I can remember the brand... they sell them at Al and Bob's.  But I've gone MAGNUM this year!!  I've been fishing 3/8ths and even a half oz shakey head with bigger worms (won't mention which ones, I'm not gonna give up all my secrets!!) and been doing very well on it.
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

Its strictly a finesse tactic to me when the bite gets real tough so I never go heavier than 1/8th oz and only go that heavy when its windy or deep water. Most of the time Im throwing a 1/16th or 3/32 ballhead 60 degree flateye screw lock with a 4/0. Brand dont matter as long as its got a gammy. I usually just buy from guys who pour there own on BBC or GLB. Got some comming from Nemesis to give a try this year.
FISH HARD!!!

I use the smaller sizes.  1/16-1/4 oz. I like the Nemesis ones.
