As I start to feel some of the consequences of my exciting, mis-spent youth, I find that eyes and fingers no longer allow me to pursue my tackle making the same way I used to. Getting old
!!!
One recent addition to my tackle making process includes adding a skirt collar (either rubber or brass) to help keep the skirt in place. For bass and pike applications, this has worked very well and keeps the skirt in place. Muskies can really beat up tackle and I have taken to using a "Zip tie" (aka: wire tie), in addition to a skirt band, to really anchor the skirt in place. Good luck and tight lines.
