Siebert Outdoors Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Well, Give me about a week or a little more and I'll have both types available!! The skirted jigs will have sizes 1/4-1 oz. The non skirted will have more sizes. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 Barlow's now carries a swinging jighead with a collar. You add your own skirt and hook. Thanks, I am going to check those out. Quote
Cgrinder Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I answered on Facebook, but for good measure: Bullet head with EWG! 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 Interested, lighter sizes, as well. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 Mike - I would start with the new football head shape you are developing but with added swing jig eyelet on the back . Next , add a split ring and a 4/0 Owner hook in weight sizes from 3/8th oz to 3/4 oz. For colors I believe your Green Pumpkin themes , Orange / Brown and Black / Blue combos would cover the majority of useage for this bottom dragging technique. Quote

Might want to at least consider throwing white in as a color choice as well. Plenty of guys using this technique with "shad" style baits too. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 Might want to at least consider throwing white in as a color choice as well. Plenty of guys using this technique with "shad" style baits too. I'm planning on offering the skirted swing jig in all the jig colors I have and the non skirted in all the head colors I have. Thats the plan as of right now. 2 Quote
MichiganBass80 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Can't wait to see them. I'll be looking for some lighter sizes. Quote
primetime Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I think the swing jig is going to be one of the next big things in the terminal tackle portion of the industry, Kind of similar to how the stand up shaky head jigs have been. I notice that the guys on ebay who make and sell them (They never look like good quality so I am afraid of using custom tackle from Ebay) but I can see alot of people are buying them. I don't think most casual anglers or even serious anglers are aware this product exists, and once you fish the swing football jig on a hard bottom it is kind of hard to not like it. I like to tie the Rapala knot to give lures and jig heads extra swing at times for finesse fishing, but now that Gambler has the wrecking Ball, and Rage has the Structure swing jig, I see this product taking off especially for people who flip and get tired of losing fish due to a pegged weight and having to keep adjusting the bait etc....I started using the Freedom Jighead which are only available at Kmart and yes, I said Kmart, but for $5.99 they have 2 1/8, or 1/4 3/0 bullet shaped swing jigs that are awesome. Fish have a harder time throwing the hook, you get extra action, and you can change out hooks if you need to... It would be great to have a place to order them in different weights and hooks as I love them since it makes rigging so much easier, and gives a swimbait, worm, or any creature bait a more natural falling action, and it also allows the bait to swing freely and not lay on its side if it falls the wrong way. I have not seen them in stores except in Saltwater Section of Dicks and they are in a 2 pack, small hooks (1/0-2/0) 1/8,3/16 but I have been using them with swim senkos and soft craws as much as possible and the football jigs are a no brainer in my opinion for hard bottoms. I know some companies made them with eyes and all that, but I would love to get some heavier sizes up to an ounce, and I think they would be a hit as pegging a 1 ounce weight and then making sure you leave enough room for hooksets is not bulletproof, I feel it is a more efficient way to go weedless over a standard jighead because even with a slider bullet jighead, it is not easy to keep the bait straight, it always curls up on the shank, and I am not a fan of the shape that Gambler uses personally, I am looking to order some on my TW order in new shapes. People who use the Jig Rig by owner really like it, I have a hard time getting used to how it looks, but I see why they end up using it exclusively, a Tungsten small 1/2 bullet shaped or casting jig/swim jig shaped swings would be a really good item. I actually looked for them a few times on the Siebert site hoping to see them because I wan't to start using them alot more than standard weight, bead, snell, hook-too much to go wrong especially when it can take hours to get a strike some days and this jig keeps em on and they will not spit it like a huge bullet sinker slidiing...Just my .25 cents...I kind of like them you could say, I always have liked weedless jigheads over light pegged weights, especially a nice snug fit.... 1 Quote
primetime Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 be cool to have a swing jig interchangeable like the Lindy jig head system where you can adjust weight and color of the jighead without retying, just snaps in, but that would be tough to do with different shapes..I am on board for one for penetrating mats, or shape of a swim jig, casting jig style....I will be on board for sure... I like everyones idea of changing hooks which would be great, hope they work out for everyone. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I'm not sure which hooks you may be leaning toward using but I've really had great luck with a variety of Owner Twistlock hooks. I've tried the Beast, regular Twistlock w/ CPS, and the Zo wire flipping hooks. All have worked great and you can decide which hook matches your particular bait choice on a given day. Personally my bite to land ratio really improved when I started using these hooks, I was having trouble with my plastic sliding down the shank and "balling up" causing me to not be able to get the barb in the fish. The Twistlock hooks almost totally eliminate this problem for me. I know you're (Siebert) a fan of Owner hooks as well so I just thought I'd throw this out there and see if you might think it would be worth trying. I'm using Owner hyper wire rings as well. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 23, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 23, 2014 I've been using an Owner Twistlock XXX on mine, either a 3/0 or 5/0 depending on the size trailer I'm wanting to use. The nice thing is you can switch out hook sizes since there's a split ring on them. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 23, 2014 Super User Posted November 23, 2014 tungsten would be nice too. Like the skirt idea as well and the lighter sizes with interchangable hook system. Quote
