Siebert Outdoor....what Makes Them So Good?

[fishinthedacks]

This year I plan to do a lot of jig fishing. Especially early in the season with Craw trailers. Speaking with another local fisherman/business owner on this site (Delware Valley Tackle) he says jig fishing near the locks near us is a good idea, and as I planned on doing that to start the year anyways I have been looking at a lot of jigs. Everynight I load my shopping cart at http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/ full of jigs that match trailers I want etc. and while I know very little about jigs I do see compared to my local shops they are slightly more in price plus I have to pay for shipping. I have read a ton of good "thank you I love them" posts on here but nothing really "selling" them as a product. Please give me some reasons to click checkout on that cart tonight! I have a whole 2 jigs in my collection both black and blue. I was looking at them at BPS and a random tournament fisherman even said they were the best jigs but I was more interested in picking his brian about frogs and reels and forgot to come back to jig fishing.

 

Also you don't have to sell me on customer service because I have read 10000 stories about rush shipping for tournaments, and going the extra mile for customers. This to me is HUGE! But good customer service keeps me a customer it doesn't sell me. Also reading his posts he seems like a great guy and very helpful. I'm sold on him, just want to be sold on shelling out the cash on this big shopping cart I have full....

Also some ideas on what to add to my cart size/color/type etc. I'll be mostly using them on the Mohawk river fishing near the locks.

The paint and coating process he uses is second to none. I literally hot one of his brush heads stuck between two rocks, yanked and yanked and it popped free the color was still there. Compared to a mom and pop jig I got and was just bouncing it along the rocks and lost my pain in a half hr. Also the dredge series has owner deep throat hooks. I am a fan of owner hooks due to there sharpness. Once you get em they're stuck. The color options are second to none and Mikes customer service is second to none. He also has two day shipping and can even rush orders if needed. To sum it up when you get the jigs they are so beautiful you would want to hang them on the wall, but they would do you more justice on the end of your line. I would keep it basic on colors. Green, brown, and black and blue will do for starters. If you are fishing rocks I would use football heads. I like 3/8 oz for a starting point and heavier if you have a lot of current. Fishing brush the brush head and arkey. Star slow and be patient with the jigs and it will pay off

Thanks a lot! It is tough to see the colors because I look at the site through either a smaller smart phone or older laptop where all the colors look washed. I had a feeling that the quality was there but I cant exactly see that. Durability is a big plus since I will be fishing a lot of rocks and that's what I have is football head jigs thus far. This answer is exactly what I have been looking for. Looks like I'm going to take that 40.00 + shipping plunge. I have spent about 400.00 on fishing gear this last month so was trying to take it easy this month and limit it to my two mystery boxes and either a Sieberts order, or getting some River2Sea stuff I've been wanting to get since I got a 20% discount. I know I need the jigs though and I'm doing pretty well on craws, frogs, poppers, and other top water baits I had in my cart over there.

 

Thanks again for the response.

Honestly, the jigs are way better than typical stuff on the shelves. And as far as prices go, they're pretty inexpensive if you consider how long a wire tied bait lasts.

A custom tied jig. Multiple head color choices.  Good quality hooks.  Starting at 2.75 a pop!  What's not to like about that?!  If you have anything special in mind and email Mike, he'll get it done if he can!

All of the above and especially this…. and I know you said customer service doesn't SELL you…. BUT it should.  His quality is off the charts and I received a "custom" emailed order in a very short period of time.  100% satisfied 

[rippin-lips]

It's just an excellent product at a very good price. Also being a nice guy and having great customer service doesn't ever hurt. I bought 100 bare jig heads and each one of them are perfect as far as the pourings go. No extra lead anywhere and all the weed guards tightly grouped. The finish is great too. No clogged line ties.

The answer is simple, GMan makes the stuff by himself like it it was made for him, the things you find on the shelves are made by people that don't make the stuff for them.

Besides EVERY thing else, MIke sponsors this website.

[Glenn]

Well guys, as with a lot of sponsors here, I evaluated Mike and his work before going forward with him becoming a sponsor.  Really a sponsorship is an endorsement of BassResource as much as it's an endorsement of the sponsor.  I want to ensure that if BassResource sends members to a sponsor, they'll be confident the product and service will be top-notch.

 

Simply put, Mike and his work exceeds expectations.

 

An no, I'm not just saying that.

 

I BOUGHT over 50 jigs from Mike, because they're just that good.  The paint is hard to chip, the hooks won't bend easily, and the wire-tied skirts just adds to the durability.  I put jigs in places most people are afraid to go.  Suffice to say, I beat the snot out my jigs.  Most of Siebert's jigs still look new, despite the rigorous workouts I give them.

 

Not only that, but he has custom colors that perfectly match RageTail plastics!  How cool is that?  You can perfectly match your jigs and trailers for an unbelievable fish-catching machine.  Bass just crush 'em!

[normmcclean]

They are the best jigs out there bar none. Custom lures at a steal of a price. I can assure you this is more of a labor of love for Mike cause the time he has in each lure for the low price he charges plus the high quality components he is making less than minimum wage on his lures. A lot of bass fishing is having something the fish haven't seen a hundred times before this is where the color selection and premium finish makes a difference especially on the better size older fish that jig fishing targets. I have been co-angler countless times and have mopped up fish that my angler in the bow never got a bump from

2nd to none !!!

haven"t gotten any yet but like glenn said it helps the site!

[BridgerM]

I ordered a couple of his stocking stuffer packs for christmas and I was very impressed with the jigs. as mentioned, the wire tie is great, the paint looks very durable, the colors choices are endless. You won't find a better jig for these prices at a local shop, I couldn't anyway. I plan on buying more from Mike as soon as I loose them all or catch my first bass on a jig. You won't be disappointed.

[bigbill]

Mike's quality exceeds what I been using in the past. Plus there custom made to order in any color and size combination. No one does that for that affordable price.

The biggest plus is Mike is a Sponcer here. We support him and he supports this forum for us. It's a win/win situation.

I purchased many jigs from Mike so I have a stash. If I ever lose one when I get home I can replace it for my next days trip.

I just go x2 on my cart list.

Let's look at the proposition:

 

Does "value" exceed "price" (V>P)?

 

The simple answer is YES.

 

 

 

 

[jhoffman]

thats not paint, its powder coating

[bassin is addicting]

mike's jigs are by far the best i have ever used.  they are top quality in every way.  and his customer service is 2nd to none.  he will respond to an email in less than 24hrs....many times in much, much less time than that.  and he will make a custom order if you want...there are no negatives at all.  plus, isn't it pretty cool to catch fish on a jig that has been made for you,  by someone you know. 

[Brian Needham]

1.wire tied (yes I know many do that but it still adds value)

2.solid colors, with custom options...... ask mike some of the crazy things I have asked him "is it possible" and yes I am still plotting in my mind before I send in my new order 

3. is a strong jig fisherman himself, he wont sell what he wont fish

4. Owner deep throats!!! BEST... JIG... HOOK... EVER.

[Preytorien]

I've been using Mike's jigs now for several months and I can attest that the head paint stays put, the skirts are very durable, and the quality of the jig is simply impeccable. He takes great care in making sure his jigs and products are high quality and boy does it show.

 

I get a kick out of throwing my jigs in the nastiest cover I can find, as many here probably do, and I have yet to even hang one because his weedguards are perfect.

 

Add to that the additional benefit you get with customer service. I've asked Mike questions about fishing certain jigs and certain conditions. He's always prompt with his reply and offers great direction on the use of the lures he crafts.

 

I use the Dredge Brush head which has the Owner Deep Throat Hook, which is top notch quality.

 

If you were to compare almost exclusively and based on the prices for Terminator, Strike King, and Booyah jigs, Mike's price beats em' and you get a custom product that I've found to be better quality and more durable. Sure you pay a few bucks in shipping, but comparing his shipping costs and time to BPS or Cabelas, he's got them beat hands down.

 

You'll be glad you pulled the trigger on the ones in your cart. They're good stuff.

Mikes jigs have taken me from a guy with no jigs in the tackle box, to a guy that primarily throws jigs.  I won't say that it wouldn't have happened with another brand, but after reading everyones recommendations awhile back, and talking to Mike, I had confidence in his jigs before even trying them. 

 

Almost everytime I've ordered from Mike, I've sent him a message first, asking for advice on colors/weights/shape, always answers and helps.  Nothing against other companies, but you don't get that kind of service very often.

[Drewski73]

For those that say customer service doesnt sell them, let me tell you a story.

 

I placed a "regular" sized order from Mike, more than $20 less than $50. The kind that my wife doesnt ask about! I got his item shipped email in 5 days or so, but a week later the jigs werent here (theyre always here in 2 days, always). I emailed Mike for a tracking number, telling him they hadnt arrived yet, and along with my tracking number came an email that said "Please let me know if it doesnt show up, Ill take care of you". Who does that?

 

USPS miraculously found the package after I filed a complaint so he never had to take care of me, but he wouldve.

 

I was a loyal customer before that, but Ill buy Mikes jigs til I stop fishing after that!

 

Theyre not all I buy, but theyre what I buy most.

[kickerfish1]

Just another satisfied customer here. Have ordered probably 4 or 5 times from Mike and most of the orders have been $60-$100 each. Great products and options to select from on his website. I have had Mike craft up some custom color options for me and he still has the "recipe" for these. He answers his phone and email promptly and it is more like talking to a life long friend than business man.

[fishguy613]

first order with siebert outdoors placed a few days ago, they should be here soon

couldnt resist that owner deep throat hook
