Yeah, you actually gave me a couple of the in-line buzzers. They've got a floating body on them with a small skirt on the back. I modified them just slightly though to include a hook in the mid-section hanging from the bottom of the floating body. The ones you gave me just had the single treble on back and I was missing a bunch of fish. It seems like most fish I catch on it hit the main body of the bait, so putting the hook there has helped the hook-up ratio. These baits work almost as well as that other little buzzbait I was talking about...almost. [

And yes, I do throw shaky heads quite a bit. I actually caught the Big Bass of the Year for 2010 at 11.43 lbs in the club I fish with on a shaky head. There's a lot of good shaky heads out there that have some great qualities to them, but those things aren't cheap! $4-6 for a pack of only 3-5 jig heads just doesn't cut it for the types of places I like to throw those things. Most of the time when I'm throwing a shaky head, I'm throwing it around rock, and I have yet to find a shaky head that is able to not get hung-up. It's hard to come across some of the cheaper jig heads here that will work for going shaky head style, so when I find some I kind of load up. But yeah, I love fishin' a shaky head...
