I've been getting the same shaky heads from a local bait maker for 15 years now and he has finally decided to retire. The screw locks he used were roughly 3/8" long and had about about 3 full turns on them. I've tried a couple of big brand shaky heads that just didn't have the length that I like or they had long enough screws that were wayyyyyy too heavy. 3/16oz is my preferred weight, anybody have shaky head recommendations for me?

I started using Picasso's shakey head many years ago and still love them today.

I might be able to help you out as I have jigs that have different screw lock lengths. PM me here.
