River Rat316 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 This one, but you have to turn in your man card to use it. Get a pair of gate cutters and clip that flashing off from around the hook eye and then take a nail file (the black ones at walmart) and touch up any rough areas around the line tie, otherwise its going to be trouble with fraying your line out and breaking. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with pink, its smallmouth crack in stained waters around here Quote
Dingah Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Siebert jigs are top notch in my book. x2 Quote
CC268 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Do you guys modify your jigs at all? Also...what is the purpose of having eyes on a jig head? Your using a trailer like a craw anyways....?! Quote
mnbassman23 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I'm a Northstar guy. They have what I want and if for some reason I want a different color Chris will make it for me. Do you guys modify your jigs at all? Also...what is the purpose of having eyes on a jig head? Your using a trailer like a craw anyways....?! It depends on what jigs your buying if you want/need to modify them. When I use to buy big named company jigs I would always trim the weedguard because they were so stiff. The only other thing I will do from time to time is shorten the skirting material. This is only if I want a smaller/compact look to my jig. As for the eyes, most times those are probably swim jigs. In this instace you are imitating some kind of baitfish be it either bluegill, shad, perch, etc. Most people will use a swimbait or some kind of grub for a trailer to mimic a baitfish with swim jigs. Although I have had good luck with a craw trailer on my swim jigs as well. Quote

Dylan L Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I have a pretty light rod (M) so my options as far as weights go are somewhat limited. I use a Strike King Bitsy Bug (1/4 oz.) with a rage chunk trailer Quote
paul25 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Buckeye lures mop jigs and siebert outdoor os the only jigs I've used and i really love both but like everyone else said you just have to find one that works for you. There are alot of good jigs out there Quote
sarcazmo Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 *** is coming out with a football head design in the next few weeks as well. Cant wait. Quote

crazy cranker Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I've been jig fishing for 34 years during which time I have tried d**n near every brand every made. It is my opinion that hands down the *** jigs are absolutely the best. They get hung up 90% less than other brands and 90+% of the time they rotate to hook the bass in the roof of the mouth. There is no other brand that can compare. When I first experimented with them I threw a jig on the floor 10 times and 9 times it landed upright. There are several vids on YouTube that explain their engineering. 1 Quote

Hopefully they work out well for me Quote
Got1Fishing Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I know a few guys have have Siebert Outdoor jigs.. and although I've only used their arky head jigs, I love these jigs more than SK jigs. The way they stand up and are easy to skip win in my book. I'll have to check out northstar Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 22, 2013 Super User Posted October 22, 2013 Terry Oldham's Eye Max 5/0 Gamakatsu Siwash Salmon Hook, made to withstand violent hooksets of braided line without flexing. No orher jig has a hook in the same class period. The hook shank is fitted with a screw-lock keeper to hold trailers securely in place. The well-balanced heads are fitted with stickon-3D eyes & sealed with an epoxy clear coat. Skirts are built by Skirts Plus Until you've tried Eye Max you have not tried the best! Quote
CC268 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just got my northstar jigs today....d**n they are fricken sweet! If I wasn't going hunting this weekend I would be fishing those! Quote
sarcazmo Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Nothing wrong with northstar jigs. I love the black series skirt mix of rubber and silicone. I still throw *** 90% of the time now, and as soon as they release their football series It'll probably go to 99%. Quote
Trey Harpel Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Def. an Omega Jig guy here.. They arnt using the Rubber bands to hold their skirts on, SOLID sharp hooks, great head design for coming through cover and skipping docks.. Quote
pbizzle Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I have a pretty light rod (M) so my options as far as weights go are somewhat limited. I use a Strike King Bitsy Bug (1/4 oz.) with a rage chunk trailer Those bitsy bug jigs are pretty sweet. If you can find the bleeding bait versions those are even better. They sell them at BP. Quote
