Spike-A-Pike Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Barlows and Stamina both sell skirt tools. A basic skirt tool starts at $5.00 and an Industrial Skirt tool Is $160.00 http://staminainc.com/tools.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMALLIEHUNTER Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks.how do I put the hole in one skirt together on the tool? Is there a different tool ?Thanks for any help in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 The skirt material (rubber strands) goes through the collar (small rubber band) and once those two items are put together, it slides over the hook on your jig head. examples: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Subclass_10151_-1_10001_999034017_100000000_100010000_image_0_1?CMID=FILN_OS_TERMINALTACKLE_SKIRTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I believe he is referring to a hole in one skirt verses a standard skirt. A hole in one has the skirt collar, plus another collar. A standard skirt has just the standard collar. I haven't made the hole in one's yet, but have made tons of the standard skirts. I would be interested in the answer to this one as well.

SMALLIEHUNTER Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks Tim, I went to Skirts Plus ,thats who I get my skirtpads from. They would not show me anything!! I can have them made but I just want to make my own, not put into production!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think the Hole in One is made with the use of a machine. It has a 2 piece collar, inner and outer, and the strands lay side by side. Skirts Plus makes them for Terminator I believe and you are right, they won't give much information about how it is done. With Terminator everything is a big secret. It is a beautiful skirt and easy to use and interchange. If such a hand held tool does exist, I too would be very interested. I have some of these skirts in the shop, I think I will go and disect one to learn more about how it is assembled and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I made this one......and a couple others. I used the skirt umbrellas from Barlows. The problem is that one out of 4 or 5 would work. If you could make something out of some stiffer plastic it'd work better I think. I also did not glue them. Gluing might make it tougher too if you glue it beofre you cut the excess off of the umbrella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMALLIEHUNTER Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks, I took one apart and it looks to me that they fused it together??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I took one apart as well. Can't see any sign of any glue residue. It does appear to be fused like you said, possibly with a heat process. The outer collar is just a rubber skirt collar while the inner one is a soft plastic ring. Still, it's one heck of a nice skirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMALLIEHUNTER Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 George, I'm going to stop by Skirts Plus on Friday I 'll try to get more info!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr316 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Good Luck... they don't like to talk over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I agree, they probably won't tell you a thing about it, but it never hurts to ask. They are all made in Viet Nam anyway. The brains over there is Eric, try and chat with him, he seems to be a pretty nice guy to work with. Good luck and let us know how you do.
