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

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.

Not trying to jump the thread, but how do you fasten the tail on to the body ?

[dampeoples]

I've never used them, just remember it from the old thread.

Mr. Bassitt - heat, there's a video on the link I gave

[millsryno]

jmik makes those skirts and I have heard only positives about them. I think his site shows how to attached them in a video.

[M.Bassitt]

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.

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.

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.
