Berkley Slobberknocker

[FrnkNsteen]

Anybody they the new Berkley Slobberknocker yet. Looks lime a new method for attaching the blade.

 

Curious, ... But at $13.99, it's a little tough to justify over a Jackhammer at sale price or Thundercricket or Shock at a cheaper regular price.

That being said,... What are people's opinions on the Siebert Fogy or Tremor blade baits? I was just on their site looking at some of their jigs, swimjigs and blades and having a hard time deciding what to order to try.

 

I've seen where a lot of people have spoken very highly of them!! What are some of your favorite models?

Fogy has a lot more random left and right hunting action with deeper thump than the JH. I have a bunch of both but I go JH if I have to choose one. 
 

I use the Siebert swim jigs almost exclusively. He’s got a bunch of different kinds…swim jig and shot caller are both solid choices. Typically the differences are nuanced with slightly different hooks and shaped lead heads.

Tried it and I hated the one I got.  Just can't seem to get the hook in fish.

 

I prefer Fogy's and Jackhammers.

 

On a side note, compared mine to a friends and it seems the hook on mine is bent in a bit further and slightly offset to one side.  Not sure if this contributes to the issues or not, but I have zero confidence in it.

Thanks guys,.. Think I will hold off on the Berkley and order some different tbings from Siebert.

Just an update,...

 

I ordered a variety of items from Siebert and was very happy with what I got. I ordered a few different Fogy baita, a couple Shot Caller swim jigs, a couple Dredge brush jigs, and a couple different type of spinnerbaits. One regular and one compact.

 

The quality of everything seemed to be very good, and I liked the option of the wire tied skirts that I had chosen. No more picking a jig and finding the rubber band had deteriorated and fell apart.

 

Only have had a chance to try out the Fogy, but I already know I like it. It seems to throw a good amount of vibration and it starts up nice and quick. 

 

Considering the price and the quality,... I have no doubt I will be ordering more!!
