Siebert Jigs

[NorthernBasser]

Hi all.

 

Question, what are some of the differences with the Siebert jigs? Many have the exact same description. 

 

Been wanting to order a bunch but not sure what the differences are with some of these. Thanks.

The differences are in the mostly in the hook and head type.  He offers brush, arky, dock rocker, and football heads.  The different series he offers like gridiron and dredge series for ex, have different hook types.  Siebert jigs are praised highly on here.  I haven't used any yet but I'm planning on ordering some soon!

I have been wondering the same thing too.

 

Admittedly I have not had a great deal of success with jigs but I can't see enough difference between the ones I have and others.

I've wondered the same thing. I have a few dozen of them, and the difference is the head design, hook, and strand count in the skirt. If I remember correctly, the Dredge series, which is what I mostly use, has heavier strand count, which adds bulk to the jig, and slows it fall rate. It also uses that odd shaped Owner hook, which I absolutely love.

 

All of Siebert jigs are described the same, but thy all are top notch in quality, and performance. I won't buy any other jigs.

Hello Northern Basser,

 

The biggest difference in the series is the hook.  The series specifies the hook then it breaks down to head style.

Here is a short break down.

Dredge-  Owner Deep Throat hook

Grid Iron- Owner XXX Strong jig hook

Extreme- Trokar

Mata jigs- incorporate living rubber into the jig.  Its a mix of silicone and rubber

All others use Mustad Ultra Points

 

Hope this helps.

I love the Siebert jigs in general, beautifully done, so many patterns it's like filling you fly box.  But I have had trouble with the Owner hook, which has the squareish bend.  I've had trouble with hook sets and found one fish where the hook barely got into the roof of the mouth.  It appears from this experience that that square shoulder at times touches the roof of the mouth before the point of the hook, and just slides across the roof of the mouth.  With that particular jig I bent the hook into a round shape and had no more failures to set.  Interesting that some love it and I've had trouble.

Thanks for some clarification.

 

Now can you explain the difference between silicone skirt and living rubber? I assume living rubber has more movement?

 

Also, is there a way to get wire tie as well as rattles on the same jig?

 

Thanks again.

The other fancier hooks are cool..but honestly, the Mustad Ultra Point hooks on the standard brush, arky, dock rocker, swim, football, grass, etc. jigs from Siebert are already better than what I usually see on jigs of the same price anywhere else.

just call call them, they can help u get exactly what u need for the types of lakes u fish. 

that way u will end up with jigs that u use instead of having a 100 jigs & only use 5% - 10% of them.

I can't say enough good things about these jigs, especially the use of recessed line ties, wire tied skirts, and the Owner Deep Throat hooks. IMHO, these are some of the best jigs available.

Living Rubber tends to have more movement then silicone.  The problem is colors.  LR only has a few colors.  When you combine them you get both benefits plus bulk.

 

I do not have a good way to wire tie plus rattle a jig.  Sorry.

All the descriptions in the world didn't help me nearly as much as I wanted them to.  My suggestion is to buy two of each different head shape/line tie -- and find what works best for you.  Depending on how you fish, where you fish, what sort of bottom, cover, etc that you fish...you'll develop your own preferences.  Sorry it isn't easier than that.  When you're fishing them, try to pay a little attention to which line tie angle works for you..whether through wood, or rocks, grass or pads...whatever...which line tie orientation....head shape...it seems complicated, but I think you'll find that one or two will suit your fishing style best...just takes a while to figure it out.  But my telling you what works for me, probably won't agree with over half the other guys' preferences

[NorthernBasser]

Thanks all for the replies!

as for the rattle and wire tie, it can be done.  Pick up glass rattles and rubber tubing.  Cut the tubing into roughly 1/2" sections and insert the rattles.  The tubing should be tight enough that it be difficult to insert the rattles.  After you get the bands wrapped around the rattles, simply thread the hook through the band.  They will get beat up and you will lose some rattles, but it works wonders an they're relatively easy to add/remove.

^^^^^this

Or

Email them directly and explain your situation.

I received my answer in 12 hrs.

I have a ton of them and have compared them to several other jigs. Tough to go wrong with Siebert. My favorite is probably a Junebug dredge with rattles.  It would be my stranded on an island choice. If you finesse fish, check out Mikes Morel heads. 

[Bassin' Brad]

I emailed Mike the other day because I had a few questions on what he recommended for my situation and he replied quickly and was helpful. Looking forward to doing business with them when I get my order together. 

[IgotWood]

I love the Owner Deep Throat hook! I've actually started tying some hair jigs and a lot of my large trout streamers on them. Great hook!!!

You have a knowledgable jig mfr who is a site sponsor and willing to help his customers make decisions about his products...what more do want?

Like most jig makers the hooks availble and head designs change over time, what was popular 5 years ago may not be today. Siebert has hept all his jigs available to the anglers who use them, my hat is off to Mike!
