Queezinhouse Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have been browsing this forum and others but i have to say this is by far my favorite. I had a Fat Ika body mold made and wanted to order some skirts that I can put on myself. I remember seeing it on here but it seems everything i saw before got erased. Any help in finding skirts for the ika body would be greatly appreciated. Queez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.J. Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 These skirts are the best I have ever seen. I just ordered from him not that long ago, and the service is awesome. I haven't had a chance to fish them yet, but they are magic in the testing tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Bassitt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Not trying to jump the thread, but how do you fasten the tail on to the body ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've never used them, just remember it from the old thread. Mr. Bassitt - heat, there's a video on the link I gave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 jmik makes those skirts and I have heard only positives about them. I think his site shows how to attached them in a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Bassitt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Tried the link and the video, but the video didn't work for me. What kind of heat source do you use ? don't wanna burn my fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Bassitt, He uses a soldering iron with a custom attachment in the video. I use the skirts to make soft plastic jigs (like a hula grub). I dip the tip of the skirt and the tip of my bait in hot clear plastic and hold them together until the plastic cools (you have to rotate the bait a little so the plastic doesn't drip out on your finger). This works very well and I've never had any problems with them coming apart. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I will have to agree, getbit makes awesome skirts. To put the tails on I use an utility knife clamped down to my work bench and heat the blade with a torch. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 As always I appreciate the kind comments! Bassit I double checked the link and it was working. I am running Windows XP with Windows Media Player 9 and a high speed connection. It is a big file so it will take a while to download, for me it was 40 seconds on DSL. I attached a picture, but the movie shows it alot better. Queez check you PM for the information on ordering skirts. Thanks again guys....Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queezinhouse Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thanks Jmik You should have my order, thanks for getting me the samples so fast it made my decision very easy great looking skirts and even better in the water. They should make a very lethargic bass aggressive. Also if you didnt get my order please let me know. Queez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
