Big-O Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Had a chance to fish again so I DID By myself but the fish made me proud eating the jig like crazy... Both Football and Flippin/Pitchin got their attention and It was a fine day on the water. Caught about 45 fish total, most from pitchin scattered brush on channels and drops. Was using the new Siebert Outdoors Big O model jigs with a Falcon Lake Craw colored Lobster Trailer. The jigs are "RIGHT" and I might have a chance to get out again this week to see if they're still "In the MOOD" Big O www.ragetail.com 1oz Football jig Lobster 3/4oz Brush jig and Lobster, hard to see on right side of photo Sorry about the photos... hard to take'em by myself.

Big-O Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Gene, When I'm Flippin/pitchin... I call what happens during the hookset and immediately thereafter "Tippy Toeing" Cause I'm up on my tip toes trying to get the rod higher until I get the fish out of the junk. Shane, I helped Mike and Paul a little on this jig and mainly with testing, opinions, advice etc. on which hook and weed guard might work best overall. Paul studied out several different hooks and was looking for a great jig as well. It took us a few trys but this one is a WINNER all around IMO. I'll say again, hook ups are terrific and they stay buttoned up as good or better better than any I've used thus far. I think it's the point length and angle that makes it work so well. I also think it's important to know that when using heavier jigs like 1/2 or up, it might be better to keep good constant pressure on the fish if and when they surface and thrash. A heavy jig will loosen up more easily from the jaw during the shake if it's on a basically slack line. If a fish surfaces on me, I keep'em tight and moving my way as best I can.

brushhoggin Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 wow. size AND numbers. I'd hate to throw down against you in a tournament, ridiculous bass as always Quote
Big-O Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 By the way, I want everyone to know that I receive no compensation for these jigs and nor do I want any... I even buy them from Mike. I only helped Paul and Mike design a jig that would be hard to beat any where in the market place. They're nice guys like most everyone here and I enjoy seeing folks get excited over QUALITY products! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Big O www.ragetail.com thank you so much Steve for all of the free, yet PRICELESS expertise you were willing to share on this project. there's no one in the world i'd rather consult with on matters of jigs, heavy cover, and big bass. amazing fish you got there. and you are right, this hook will dig a hole to china on the hookset. yet fish stay buttoned up so well. i thought i was gonna have to use a jackhammer to dig it out of a few.
