Call it “lockjaw” or just a tough bite—when bass slam the brakes on feeding, the best in
the game don’t panic. They go finesse. And nothing brings finesse and fire together like
the shakey head. Traditionally a vertical tool featuring a buoyant worm and a lightweight
jighead, this technique has stood the test of time. But now? It’s been supercharged.
Enter Scott Suggs' Shakey Head, a total game-changer from Epic Baits. Suggs—bass fishing legend and the first angler to ever win a million bucks in tournament
winnings—has fine-tuned this head into a deadly weapon. “I’ve been shakey-heading
my whole life,” Suggs says. “I always poured my own heads with a 90-degree hook. It
just gives your bait more action—and flat-out gets more bites.”
The brand-new Epic Baits Shakey Head isn’t just another tweak—it’s a full-blown
evolution. Built to Scott’s exacting specs, this patent-pending design features an open-
throat hook that boosts your hookup ratio big time. More gap means more
forgiveness—and more fish in the boat.
The hook? It’s sneaky-strong. A unique bent shape lets you run a lighter wire without
sacrificing strength. And it pins fish deep in the bend, locking them down for the win.
“Right out of the package, this thing is dialed in,” Suggs adds. “No bending, no tuning.
Just tie it on and go to work.”

Available in 1/8-, 3/16-, and ¼-ounce sizes and two proven colors—black and Suggs’
go-to, green pumpkin—this head is ready to dominate. (MSRP $6.29 / 3-pack)
Why green pumpkin? “It pairs up with everything—green pumpkin, watermelon, red bug,
June bug. All the classics. Plus, the flake in the head just makes your bait pop,” Suggs
says.
What sets Epic Baits apart is the crew behind the curtain—a tight-knit team of anglers
obsessed with innovation. “They’re hands-on. They care about materials, hook quality,
and making gear that actually helps anglers catch fish,” says Suggs. “There’s nothing
like seeing people catch ‘em on something you helped bring to life.”
On the bottom, the Epic Baits Shakey Head dances and darts—then settles into a
subtle sway, taunting nearby bass. Cast it near docks, drag it through grass beds, skip it
under laydowns. Give it a little twitch, then let it sit. That vulnerable shimmy? It’s game
over.
