One of my go to techniques is definitely the shaky head. I throw it anytime I need to get a bite when the fishing is tough. It always come through for me. I have used every brand you can think of and haven't found one that's perfect for all applications. Some have the screw (which I like), some don't. Some come with a collar, some without. Some have a thin of a hook, and some the hook are just too small. I just came across a new brand, Moaner Hooks. They make a few different types of hooks, but I was really drawn to the Stiffy Jig model. The hook is much more like the extra wide gap hooks I love, and they have a screw. The head is a stand-up design but looks like it will do well in grass. You can read more about the Stiffy Jig and order from the site by clicking here.

T Brinks,
I was happy to find this article about the Stiffy Jig. Much like you, I fished with many different kinds of jigs and often found myself looking for a heavier hook with plenty of gap for bigger baits. As you can see, I got tired of searching and created what I was after, hope you like it as much as I do.
Thanks,
Matt
Thanks Matt! I look forward to trying it out. Love that beefed up hook. Down here in Florida, any cast can be a ten plus and I would hate to have my hooked straightened out on the fish of a lifetime.
