Jig hooks and jig heads: Original shaky heads

The original build: the shape as it first appeared. Every variant on the sibling pages started from this one: some fit a rig (Texas-rigged), some get through cover (weedless), some add a way of fishing it (swing).

The basic shaky head: exposed hook, screw-lock or wire keeper.
