Whats the difference in a shaky head and pegging a bullet weight against the bait? In the swimming pool both have the same action and both lay on the bottom the same.

A quality stand up Shakey head will do just that. Stand up on the bottom and the straight tail worm sticks straight up

Hook on a shakey head is elevated in water column. TX rigs will drag horizontally. I use flat head shakey heads so the worm stands up more

I don't know about wiser but I do sometimes. I will throw a stand up jig with a lizard or fluke into beds during the spawn. Gives the bait a nose down look. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't just like any other flipping bait. I think that when you refer to shaky head people are usually talking about a very light weight head with light line for finesse tactics. Equipment usually not associated with flipping or pitching.
