Siebert Outdoors Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I'm looking to see if there is enough interest for me to offer a swing jig. If I do this I'd offer it with an Owner hook. I'm thinking the All purpose plastic hook. Weights would be 1/4 4/0 3/8 4/0 1/2 5/0 Maybe 3/4 5/0 So post up guys if this is something worth me perusing more!! 1 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 I've seen some people recently saying that they wish they could find some in lighter weights. Maybe a 3/16 with 3/0 hook or even an 1/8 with 2/0. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 19, 2014 Author Posted November 19, 2014 So smaller sizes also like: 1/8 3/16 1/4 5/16 3/8 7/16 1/2 5/8 3/4 1 1.25 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 I read this like fifty times and kept thinking "what is he talking about he already sells swim jigs!" Then I finally read swing correctly, I think it would be cool. I'd definitely look into trying some out! 2 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Spent last weekend with Biffle swinging a Rage Structure Bug. Absolutely loved it. The way it came through cover and the action imparted were best thing I threw all weekend. I'm definitely getting more Quote
desmobob Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I would definitely try a bunch of them. I've never fished one. Tight lines, Bob Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Personally I'd prefer just the head without hook so I can put split rings and my own hook on it. I'd buy a ton in the 1/4 to 3/4 range. What would be super is if you found a way to add a skirt. 1 Quote
atcoha Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Interested in the smaller sizes also...How about the swing jig with removable/replaceable hook? And would the line tie be horizontal or vertical? Just asking. Quote
smallieking Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 can you make one with a snap so hooks can be swapped out like on the mustad fastach swing head Quote

riverbasser13 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Great idea, especially a couple smaller sizes like 1/8th and 3/16ths. They would be killer for rivers and spots with current. Quote
Mxtaylor Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I got off my phone, grabbed my computer, and logged in just to tell you yes. Quote
fishguy613 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Swing jigs would be great! Personally I would use 1/2 & 3/4oz footballs, 1/4 & 3/8oz with 3/0 if offered with your brush head but they would have to be super line hooks Quote
Stbrown Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 7/16 and 9/16 have been my go to sizes. I rarely hang up a bait but they usually get discarded because of a bent or broken hook. Different hook options other than an EWG would be nice as well. Quote
rmcguirk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'd be a buyer. I love the skirt idea as well. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Brush heads would be okay. But football heads are more useful with swing heads as they don't tip over and deflect off cover. I haven't had a problem with snags when pitching to wood with football heads. 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 I prefer football heads and heavier weights, 1/2 oz & 3/4 oz. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not a big swing jig user. My buddy used to make his own, but they had a collar that held a skirt. He's passed on, so I'm not sure where the he got the heads or how they were molded. They had a pyramid, "wedge shape" head. I'll be honest, there's a ton of good ones out there in heavy, football head configurations. Maybe a lighter, light wire hook, as a shaky head change up is a good idea. I'd try that. Something in the 1/16 to 1/4 range. No one would buy it though, lol. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Not for dragging on the bottom. A jika rig is for penetrating weeds. 1 Quote
kadas Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Mike, I would be interested in some swing jigs in the lighter weights like those discussed in earlier posts--also like the idea of having replaceable hooks so you can change sizes to match your fishing conditions and lures Quote
Super User CWB Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Mike- Wouldn't a plastic hook break on the hookset? Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Barlow's now carries a swinging jighead with a collar. You add your own skirt and hook. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Lighter weights w/ easy hook change out sounds sweet, of course adding a skirt would be nice, but not necessary, but nice! 1 Quote
Inflatable Raft Bum Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I have never heard of this setup, cool! Looks like an ideal way to fish a fluke on the bottom. (Regardless of what they were intended for) I'll have to experiment with these Quote
