Lotic Joe Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Anybody know where I can purchase the "rubber core" collars Barlows is using on their new finesse jig skirts? They are a 2 piece collar that traps the strands between rubber. They do a great job at holding the strands in place even when the front ones are trimmed to produce a spider jig. Would be nice to find these collars so that I can make color combos that Barlows doesn't sell. Finesse Spider Skirts @ Barlows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Isn't that kind of what the umbrellas do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotic Joe Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Kind of but not really. The inner core has a flat piece on the trailing edge instead of the slope on a cone. On some of the smaller jigs I pour (1/16 and 1/8 oz) there's just not enough room to squeeze a cone in the space between the jig head and the ring that holds the collar in place. There's barely enough room for these collars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think I see the differences now, thanks for the explanation. You tried emailing barlow's? They're pretty good about answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
