What length rattlesnake do you guys use on a shakey head?

4"

old school here. 1/8 oz bullet weight, 1/0 hook and a zoom finesse worm on 8# P-line CX. anything green or brown usually. some sink, some float.

Papasbaits football shaky head, it has a solid hook, it doesn't wear out even after catching multiple fish on it, other hooks I've used dulled and I couldn't use them. Also zoom super salt plus 5 in finesse worms are good enough for any body of water I've fished

For some reason I catch bigger fish with the baby snake on a shakey head than I do with the regular snake on a shakey head.

I use the baby snake on a C-rig most of the time also.

Hey Ranger Holly where is the pond with all the DD's around Ft Worth

Hag's Tornado f5 blue gill, watermelon golden cherry
Stands straight up

I've used a lot of different plastics on a shakey head rig. Current favorites:

-1/8 Oz. Owner Shakey head jig with screw lock
- 6&3/4" Kicker Fish High Tail Holeshot (Tail floats up and more durable than Roboworm)
- 30# braid with 12# P-line CX Premium leader on spinning reel and 6'8" medium rod
Having said that, over the last 10-15 years I'm pretty sure I've caught more bass on a 4 3/4 inch Zoom finesse worm, shakey rigged, than any other plastic because I used it so much.

Tornado and Rattlesnake are both good shaky head baits. Hard to beat the original Zoom Trick Worm though. Green Pumpkin or Junebug.

Dont fish ponds, they have been from every lake from here to Oklahoma to Louisiana

I actually fish it with a 4 inch Senko on it. Never had luck with any of my finesse worms.

Xcite baits has a lineup of great Shakey head products. I love the Maximus worm and Raptor craw. Since they have no salt the bait stands straight up.
