Anyone know of a good shaky-head jig with a horizontal line tie? Although I love the Spotstickers, I am getting a little fed up with losing them. I believe it is due to the vertical, or in-line, eyelet. I found some by Picasso but they are a bit pricey. Any suggestions?
Shaky-head with a horizontal eye?

I think Bagley's might work..decent price also

Pour your own!!</p>
However the Spot sticker is just that a STICKER!!</p>
I don't believe the eye has alot to do with it but vertical / horizonal can have an extra ........stick to it.</p>
Bigger head and bigger bait could be a suggestion.</p>
I don't have any idea on the purchase of STICKERS that will help
</p>
I think it does. I have been using the Eakins jig for quite awhile now and have noticed that it rarely gets hung up. The horizontal line tie on their jig prevents it from snagging as much as the same jig by Booyah with a vertical eye. I would think that the same would go for shaky-head jigs.</p>
Snuffy, thanks for the tip. Anyone carry them locally? </p>
its a lead head ive fished with people that was useing the giggyhead ,several different types of heads for shakey head fishin or finesse fishing , this guy is a well known pro in our area , i caught just as many as he did on a plain 1/4 oz lead head like you would fish a grub on it even had the weed gaurd . i was useing the same technique as he, i look at a lot of these new things as gimmicks .updated versions of the old way, new generation of fishermen new updated products ,just a bit priceier . you take the risk of hangin up everytime you cast .you can even flatten the head of a lead head with a hammer and vice .the eye i dont think it matters becuse the brush and rock we were fishin he lost just as many giggys than i lost of my standard lead head .just my 2cents
I use a shakyhead like the one in your pic. I held it up to the screen picture and the line tie angle and overall shape are identical. They are made locally by Choo Choo Lures and I get them at R&R on hwy 41. Other bait stores may carry them that are closer to you. They are called Limiters and are available in 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 oz. The hooks are black nickle colored.
I tried the Spot Removers too. Maybe it was just me, but, I didn't seem to get as many bites. I think the round head on the limiter allows for a more subtle movement of the worm.

<font color="#ff0033">Hey, Jason, I like the 60* hook design on jigs. I truly believe that set up hangs up less than others. and if it does you can get it free better than the others.... Me and the Madbomber are looking for a mold for 60* hooks.... Ain't been successful yet...He was supposed to call RangerRob for guidance but ain't talked to him about that yet..that's my .02 worth. FA</font>
Ranger Rob buys his jigs pre-poured. I looked at Do-it molds in Memphis and later at the do-it web site. Do-it does not show a 60 degree jig mold in their selection.</p>
I have been using a plain 1/8 oz & 1/16 oz on a no. 1 hook (no paint, no weed guard) with good success, but I would pour some 60 degree jigs if I could get my hands on a mold. Using bitsy bug jigs convinced me that 60 degree hooks are not as likely to hang up.</p>
