What size shaky head do you use? Trying to get a feel for what is the most popular size.

Mostly 1/8th ounce, although I've used everything from lighter up to 5/8ths for big worms, which really isn't finesse but rather just an upsized tactic.

1/4 oz in all shakey head variations. I also exclusively use longer worms (not Zoom "finesse" worms).....I use Zoom Trick Worms or NetBait T-Macs. They'll stand a 1/4 oz up. In full disclosure though, I don't catch much on shakey heads anymore.

1/8....3/32...1/16.... Depends on the current and depth I'm trying to fish.... Sometimes I'll jump to a 1/4.....

As light as I can get away with. Typically 1/8 or 3/16
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

1/4 oz 90% of time. 1/8 oz if I skip under boat docks. I have cought a thousand fish on them. In fact I use them so much I make my own.

After running my cake eater above, today the shakey head was the best bait for us. Caught the most fish, and best size, on them...AND we were using short finesse worms. Sheesh.

I've never used one. If I have to finesse the fish into biting I usually just find something else to go do. This^ I never use them. I keep a pack in the boat if someone goes with me for them to use if they just want to catch a fish and haven't been before.

It's just a downsized worm and head. They catch fish. Depending on the average size you're targeting, especially 3-pounders or smaller, they're great. Big fish eat finesse worms, too, but not like the smaller ones. Good technique to nail a limit if you get in a pinch.
At the Classic on Logan Martin back in '98 I was with Larry Nixon on the first day as an observer. He hit about two or three areas targeting big fish early and then about noonish or 1 p.m. said, "Well, I guess I need to go catch a limit."
He whipped out a Carolina rig, had a finesse-type worm on it and nailed a few without missing a beat on a mid-lake ledge. It wasn't his favorite thing to do but he was on the board with some weight.

You should try the shakey head weights with the Robo floating worms. They have great action. and good color
