Recommendation Siebert Jigs

[lmbfisherman]

After doing a check of my inventory I realized I'm in need of a few more jigs.  I hear so much about these jigs that I'm thinking of buying them.  I would like to know what everyone recommends?  I normally fish in weedy, laydowns and standing trees the most.  There are so many models I didnt know what to choose.  I normally fish hack attack jigs and bps brand enticers and they work great. Colors I already have in mind, but if you want to recommend I'm open to it.  I usually like to fish 1/4 and 3/8.

I'm sure plenty of guys will chime in soon but don't be afraid to send Mike an email.

I personally like the dock rocker but if your in weeds or heavy cover I'd go with the brush jig but which ever you choose may I recommend the Dredge series.  Since switching to that owner deep throat hook my hook up ratio has went way up.  I've found that you still have to set the hook but with nowhere near the force and the hook is buried.  Mike is here on the forums and I'm sure he'll be along to help.

Any of his swim jig styles or brush heads are what you want. I fish similar cover here. Some shad, bluegill, GP, black and blue, and maybe another natural color and you are set.

I love his jigs and catch most of my fish on his swim jigs.  His brush jigs are very good to and the only other one I use a lot is the arcky head.  I used to order all kinds of trailer colors, but now for bottom contact I order black, brown or green pumpkin and use the trailer to add the splash of color.  My swim jigs I have him special make to match the paddle tail I want to use.  The best so far is ayu which is not currently on hid dropdown menu but should be...

Can't recommend @Siebert Outdoors enough... Here's my standard order.

[WI_Angler1989]

I've had a lot of luck with his Sniper series finesse jigs too. The shape of the head is really good coming through the rocks and logs on my smallmouth river. They'd be on the lighter side (I use 1/4) of what your looking for, but are worth adding a few IMO.

Brush jig for grass and Arky style jig for timber.

[Siebert Outdoors]

Hey lmbfisherman

 

That situation is similar to a lot of what I fish.  In those situations I would throw a Brush jig and a Sniper jig.  That would be my preference.  Like JFrancho said an arky jig is another great option, I will never say anything bad about that head design. Personally, I am a huge fan of the Brush jig and Sniper jigs.  In the Brush Jig style I throw the Dredge Series or Grid Iron series most of the time.

@Siebert Outdoors  What jig style would you recommend for a rocky reservoir with some heavy brush. And what weight for shallow (10' or less) and deep (30')?

[The Fisher]

I like his Enraged jig. The trailer stands up well on this head. I use it on rocky or sandy bottoms.

Everyone has a personal preference on these situations. Most of it depends on your fishing style.   If I ran into this I would have 2 jigs tied on to cover this.  I normally do anyway.

 

If its chunky rock I'd throw the G2 Football head. 3/8-1/2 for the shallow.  3/4 for the deep.  The brush I would throw a Brush jig in the Grid Iron due to the XXX strong hook.  It will hold up to the heavy line if your throwing braid.  The thickness of the brush/bush will effect the jig size also.  If its a thick bush you might need that 1/2-3/4 jig to squeeze through the branches.

 

If the water is clear or the fish are skittish I would not hesitate to throw a Sniper Jig in any of that in a lighter weight to help keep it from digging into the chunk rock.  Basically small hops off the bottom.

 

That is how I would approach it and fish it. 

 

Many would say throw an arky head. I would not argue with that either.

@Siebert Outdoors Mike, I am trying to put together an order too and was thinking about the Flukemaster series arky jigs at 3/8oz. but seeing that you recommended the Dredge series in the brush style for grass/weeds and the sniper style for clear water I'm starting to rethink my order...what situations would be best for the Flukemaster series and which for the Dredge and Sniper? Thanks for any info!!!

[S. Sass]

Dredge Brush has easily become my most used most productive jig. Admittedly I don't have a lot of rock but aside from that it is awesome in everything else I have found. And it's not horrible in rock I just don't use much in the few rocks my lakes have.

 

Favorite colors are Bluegill, Black Brown Amber, Falcon Lake, and Brown Craw. I have a new Red skirt color coming now thanks to Mike. Should be awesome. Here is the sample pic I got.

The top picture is the plain Green Pumpkin. It does have some very

black flake in it, I beleive.

The bottom picture is the PBJ. A personal favorite of mine AND the smallies.

Get some in Peas and Carrots!!!

Do you mean 3/16oz.? The only sizes I see available for the Sniper jig are 3/16, 5/16 and 7/16.

Yeah, must the must be 3/16. It's been a while since I ordered. I personally like going as light as I can while still having bottom contact. They hang up less is my snaggy rivers.

[lmbfisherman]

I just placed my order, thanks Mike for the assistance and thanks everyone for the input.  I did order 2 of those snipers to try them out too, couple of swim jigs and ordered the dredge brush jig pack in 3/8.

[MickD]

I expect a lot of disagreement with me, but I recommend all except the Dredge or any others tied on the Owner Deep Throat hook.  My experience with it is lots of bites, but trouble setting the hook.  Based on seeing a few fish with the hook barely penetrating the roof of the fish's mouth, I think that the sharp bend just past the barb is contacting the roof of the mouth first and preventing the barb from contacting the fish.  I bent the hook to make it resemble a normal hook and it's better, more hook sets.  It looks wicked, but is flawed, IMHO.

 

I haven't tried all of the other styles, but they all look about the same with great colors, well-filled with skirt, finished well, good options, decent prices, generally highly regarded by others posting here.

I remember that contest with Northstar Baits, the hyped-up sponsor that was later replaced by Siebert. 

 

I came up with one too: Okeechobee Flame. Got a few free jigs out of the deal!

The flukemaster series uses the heavier Owner hook.  Its an awesome hook.  It is one of the best if not the best hook i have used when using heavier line or braid.  It is an awesome hook.  The Sniper is a great small profile jig.  I use it a lot with a baby rage craw.  The dredge head uses The deep throat owner hook.  I like the hook.  I use this jig quite a bit also.  Mostly when i am fishing lighter line.  The hook penetrates easily.
