Siebert Outdoors Baits Rock!!!

This is a repost since the first one got deleted when the system crashed.

 

 

As BassResource.com members, many of us have used jigs from one our best board sponsors, Siebert Outdoors.

Tell us about your biggest fish, best day, tournament wins, craziest catch or whatever while using a Siebert Outdoors jig.

Come on, it is cold here and I need something to read.

Me personally, I have caught several big fish on both the elite jigs and the Bloody Shad swim jigs. Some fish hit that swim jig so hard it feels like the rod will get yanked into the water.

I bought a few of Siebert Outdoors (SO) jigs last year. They are very high quality products. I have placed 3 or 4 orders over the last year and getting ready to order some more. I decided earlier this year that I would only use SIebert Outdoors (SO) jigs, shakeyheads and weighted hooks. Exclusively. I love those things.

We made it out fishing several times this fall......my wife, almost 11 yr old son and me. I always keep SO jig and a SO shakeyhead tied on two of my rods. On one trip in particular things had slowed......so I picked up my rod with the jig. In what seemed like only a couple of minutes 'FISH ON'......then within just a few casts another one. As I'm releasing the fish I hear this thunderous commotion from the back of the boat. It's my son on the way to the tackle storage locker. He knows it's a jig that he now must have. Naturally I start yelling like most dads I know, " what in the heck are you doing?" Now that boy didn't miss a lick......he just says, "what color is it?" He didn't even look at me........he never talks to me without looking at me. Until now I thought it was genetically impossible for him to talk without looking at who he was talking to. While I am trying figure out what is going on, my wife chimes in with, "get me one too!"

We did very well the rest of the day using jigs.

My wife took pics of my SO jigs for a school project she did on tackle. I was looking at the pics and noticed everything is either dark pumpkin green or watermelon....now I just need to place an order for some other colors.

A couple of months ago I started using Jigs and found out about Siebert Outdoors. I heard good things about them so I bought a few of the 3/8 oz. Football Storm Series. They are now my favorite Jig brand and plan on staying with them but some of the Storm Series Jigs are heavy. I was expecting 3/8 oz. but to my surprise some weigh 5/8 oz. When you add a trailer like a 4" Pit Boss, they are about 1 ounce! After I weighed one I thought to myself "No wonder my DX744 was struggling". So now I ha

a brand new DX745!! LOL  

 

I just ordered a few of the 1/4 oz. Football Dredge Jigs. I'm hoping they actually weigh around 3/8 oz so I can add a light trailer like a Baby Brush hog and be in the 5/8 oz range, which I think is the end of the DX744 comfort limit. So I'm going to have jigs just for my DX744 and plan on using the "3/8 oz" jigs on the 745, I might even get some "1/2 oz" jigs for it. If I really like the Dredge Series, I'm going to have to buy some heavier ones for the DX745! When does it end?!!! LOL 

 

The only Siebert Outdoors story I have that is sort of amusing is when I tried to do an extra long cast and screwed it up and it landed 7 yrds in front of me. I was embarrassed   , so I started to reel it back in and a 2 1/2 lbs Bass hit it. I said sort of amusing

I love the Big O Brush Jig. Fish 'em a lot. I just hooked the biggest bass I've ever seen in my life on one with a Lobster on it last week. It's not exactly just for brush, either. It does real well in the rocks.

I got a chance to use the punch skirts this season when Mike first started to release them. They are awesome! The best part about the Siebert punch skirts are that they come in a huge array of colors and they're about 2/3 to half the price of the similar items at the store. They give your flippin/punchin bait a nice big profile. If you like to fish really heavy cover and punch weed mats, you need a couple of these in your arsenal.  I just picked up a new Dobyns 766c and I can't wait until punching season comes along. It's only 6 months away.......

 

The other Siebert jig I had good success with was the 3/8 oz Swim Jig (round bend) in Bluegill color.  I would use either a Rage Craw trailer or late in the season I started to try out the Havoc grass pig. Both are excellent trailer choices. Even the little guys would slam that bait and make you think you had a slob on.  The swim jig comes through cover very well too. Being that I fish a lot of weedy lakes, I tend to have a Swim Jig or a grass jig tied on most. The grass jig Mike offers is another awesome and versatile jig.  I used that later in the season to double as a light cover flippin jig and swimming it around docks.  I didn't catch any beasts on jigs this year, but I'm confident that I'll catch some hogs next season.  

 

Here is a picture and some video from using the punch skirts back this summer. (excuse my poor video editing, it was my first)  The rest of the video is some froggin' I was doing the same weekend.
