The Alpha ShAAkr Head is Alpha's first endeavor into the tackle world. Engineered with our custom Alloy head that enhances sonar return and a special hook that increases landing percentage by 25%. It's tackle you'd expect from the Alpha design team!!
Our Anglers spent hundreds of hours developing the NEW Alpha ShAAkr Scoping Rod. During the prototyping process, our anglers focus on bite-generation and landing percentage. By the end of testing, the Alpha's had created the most innovative scoping rod, and shaking jig head to compliment it.... The Alpha ShAAKr Head!!
Components: It may just look like another lead jig head, but the ShAAkr head is built around a proprietary alloy developed to enhance sonar return. Higher density materials like tungsten may have a great sonar return, but the smaller head sizes reduce the sonar surface which negates the benefit of the dense material. The alloy in the ShAAkr head includes elements with high sonar reflection. It's also less dense, allowing for bigger head sizes. For instance, the 6g (.21oz) head is the same size as a 1/4oz head and the 4g (.14oz) head is the same size as a lead 3/16oz head.
Increasing the head size allows for a greater surface for sonar returns, AND keeps the bait more horizontal in the water when shaking!! Effectively, you can shake your bait in the same area for much longer, without the bait falling nose first.... way more BITES!!
Landing percentage was the biggest driving factor in the design of the ShAAkr head. Losing big fish in a tournaments will motivate any pro angler to search for a better solution. After testing every style hook available on the market, the 1x Gamakatsu in the ShAAkr head was the clear winner... by a 25% margin. This big hook won't bend out, and has a nasty barb that requires pliers to remove.
Screwlock bait-keepers are the best for keeping your expensive Japanese shaking baits on the line!!
Design Philosophy: You simply can't spend hundreds of hours on the water developing fishing rods without becoming a tackle designer as well!! Our anglers question everything, especially failure. Lose a couple big fish and the Alpha's put on engineering hats. The Alpha ShAAkr head represents a powerfishing version of the Scoping, mid-strolling, shaking technique. Tighten your drag down a bit (no slip on the hook set), upsize your line, and drag those fish to the boat. If you need finesse line sizes, the ShAAkr head just needs a firm hookset, then back the drag down.
Finally, we don't release any product without success stories. In this case, the ShAAkr head has already cashed BIG checks at every level of our sport. Increase your bite generation and landing percentage with the ShAAkr Head!!
