how many peices of material does it take to make a full skirt?

thanks

You can use as many as it takes to accomplish your task. Generally for most bass baits I use two or one and a piece of rubber. Some bulkier or larger baits may require three.. I've not used more than three.

alrighty..so i could just use 2 peices or should i use atleast 3 for a really full skirt..the only reason why im askin is because i was told about this site in another topic so i wanna buy enough material..

I generally use 2 for spinnerbait skirts and 2.5 - 3 for jig skirts.

I use the same as heavycover for jigs. Sometimes four but only on a couple of colors.

I've never made any wire lures, so forgive me for intruding. But those baits with a spinner on one side and the skirted hook on the other, would'nt you have to 'tune' the skirt to get a balance? So in this case, you could not say for sure, as it would depend on the offset distances.

It all depends on your imagination. Like Heavycover, I use 2 on buzzbaits and spinnerbaits and 3 on jigs. But I may use 2 of one color and .5 of two or three other colors or just a few strands of one color. It also depends on your customers preference. I have customers who want a bulkier skirt and some that want a thinner skirt.

2-3 depending on the desired thickness? For clearwater/translucent I use 2 tabs, stained water ie chart white I use 1 chart and 1.5 white, muddy water 3 black.

I use two on smaller lures and three on larger. I would suggest to experiment until you get the right look!

I recently learned that the strand count isn't the only thing that figures into it; how long the strands are, if they're thick or thin, etc., I was a little surprised to learn that wider strands are similar to air foils and the wider they are the more movement they have at slower retrieve speeds. I would highly recommend that you talk with Charles at FishingSkirts.com and get a "custom fit" for your skirt requirements.
