Super User 00 mod Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 When Mike Siebert first started tying his own jigs over 15 years ago, he was doing so to save money. He was a dedicated jig fisherman, and liked one particular brand. As the cost of buying jigs was rising, he figured he could start making some of his own and save for other things he wanted to buy. Problem was, everybody liked his jigs better than store bought. He was being inundated with requests to tie jigs for others. Then the light bulb clicked. Tie jigs for everyone else to fund his jig addiction. And so was born the company that is now known as Siebert Outdoors. Mike started out with just a couple molds and one hook style. He now has over half a dozen jig head styles, plus a couple shakey heads, and even some lead free jig heads for the states that have banned lead (MA). He has multiple hooks to choose from in most of his line as well. My personal favorite is the Big O jig. The Big O Jig head is made with an Owner XXX strong hook and a heavy weed guard. Sizes 1/2 and less have 1/8" heavy weed guard and the 5/8 and up are 5/32. This is the BEST jig I have ever thrown, and has quickly become Mike's best seller. It was influenced by our very own Big O, of Rage Tail products, and it has become a staple in his jig arsenal as well. One of the best things about Mike's operation, is the fact he lets you mix and match colors, sizes, and styles on every order. He will even sell you just the jig heads, and let you create your own fish catching masterpiece. Some of his most popular color combinations are black and blue, falcon craw and the newly emerging sweet craw. My favorite is one that Mike ties called the "00 Modbug", found in the Storm series jigs. http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/storm-series'>http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/storm-series The storm series jigs are Mike's very best jigs as far as quality and value. Each Jig in this series was hand chosen by a member of the Bass Resource staff to feature in a series to coincide with the Tackle the Storm Foundation. A portion of each jig sale will go directly to the foundation , and you can do you part to get a great jig, or set of jigs(Modpack), and donate to a great charity as well. http://www.tacklethestormfoundation.org/ Do yourself a favor and get over to http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/ and check out everything he has. Not just Jigs. He has soft plastics, including trailers for you favorite jigs, as well as spinner baits and weighted hooks. Mix and match anything for a total of $50 and the shipping is ALWAYS on Mike. Watch for his specials here on BR and you could find deals like 25% off, or free shipping as low as $20 order. Give him an order and tell him BR sent ya. The Storm Series Mod Packs make GREAT Christmas gifts!!! Jeff 2 Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted November 30, 2012 Super User Posted November 30, 2012 I was really impressed with the quality of jig for the price, very tough jigs on top of that with high quality hooks, not only that but the service you get from Mike is more than I ever expected. Any questions you may have, he is on the ball with helping you out with anything you need, I can't say enough about Mike and his company, one of the best buying experiences I personally have ever had.

flipin4bass Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I like those Big O jigs with Owner hooks! The web site is awsome with the pull-down menues so you can easily build your order. Jigs built with Owner hooks and at those prices...best value out there in my opinion. 1 Quote

BenB54 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I purchased 6 of the storm series the other day, can't wait to use them. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 17, 2012 Super User Posted December 17, 2012 If you bought "The Roadwarrior", two trailers that look great on these jigs are the Rage Tail Lobster or Craw in PBJ and June Bug. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted December 17, 2012 Author Super User Posted December 17, 2012 The 00 Modbug looks great with anything black, blue, purple or junebug. It is my most versatile jig! Jeff Quote
BenB54 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 The Roadwarrior wasn't available the other week, i ended up getting 3 in the flukermaster and 3 in the 00 mod. Might have to make another purchase for Christmas though. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I want to personally thank everyone so far for the support of Siebert Outdoors and the Storm Jig Series.
