cidgrad Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just got started and doing good with jigs for bass. Content here has really accelerated my learning curve! I know this is somewhat personal preference, but how thick do you make your skirts on a 3/8 or 1/2 oz football jig? As in how many pads, strands, etc of silicone and then also with round rubber? Also, what have you founf to be most successful with using rattles with a handtied skirt? Rattle collar in front or behind skirt? Using collar for the skirt and not hand tying? Thanks!

Basseducer Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Cidgrad, I usually use two pads with most skirts except the smaller ones (1/8 oz.). I also use two strips of fine round rubber up to 3/8 oz. then usually jump up to regular round rubber, or I mix one pad of silicone and one strip of rubber. Then sometimes throw a few accent strands in. On jigs with a double collar it’s easy to add the rattle band. On jigs without double collars you can build you skirt with the rattle band and add a few wraps of thread or wire to it after it is in place on the jig.
