Straightening rubber skirt material

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Ive finally gotten around to making some jigs out of silicone and the old school rubber tabs sold by fishingskirts.com. I guess the way I had the rubber tabs stored has caused some to curl on the end and it is pretty noticeable on my finished jigs. I was wondering if I could maybe dip the jigs ive tied already and the remaining tabs in hot water to straighten them back out like a swimbaits? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Shorten the skirt by cutting off the ends. Once rubber sets it is done, no amount of hot water or anything else is going to fix it. Judging from your picture it looks like you have some room to trim them up.  Also, a shorter skirt will flare better which will really give the rubber even more action. It could end up being a blessing in disguise and end up being really productive.
