New ~WATERMELON CANDY~ Shakey Jigs added to the store

This is a new color for the shakey jig heads - the dark green pumpkin base really brings out the lustrous sheen of the purple flake topcoat. It's a better-looking, far more attractive color in reality than in the photo.

One important point is that although the flat face plate lets this shakey jig stand flat-footed on bottom (even if just momentarily), it will eventually keel over as all shakey jigs will keel over. However, due to the oblong sideways shape of the head, this shakey jig will often remain with the hook upright, and since the worm is elevated above the jig, it keeps the worm pointing upward at a 30 degree angle. In other words, the head tends to take a three point stance (the two tips of the head and the back of the hook shank equals the three perch points). That three point stance keeps the worm elevated above the bottom even when not standing up on the flat face. So if you look at the photo, four of the jigs are standing flat on their faces, but what I am talking about here is the fifth jig is in the three-point stance that keeps the worm elevated above the jig head and pointed upward at about a 30 degree angle. Most other shakey jigs cannot maintain this kind of three point stance that keeps the jig upright and worm pointing upwards. Most other shakey jigs roll over on their sides and put the hook and the worm in the dirt.

A second important point is the worm is never solidly and immovably fixed to the jig - ever. It is as if the worm is cradled in a free-swinging tree hammock. The worm is not permanently fixed to the jig - it is suspended in between the wire coil and the embedded hook point. This feature sets this shakey jig apart from other jigs that affix the worm head immovably to a permanently molded-in coil, or that affix the worm head using an immovable keeper collar on the hook shank.

Since it is not affixed to the jig head, the worm remains as flexible and unfettered and independent as possible on the shakey jig shown here.
