LurePartsOnline.com carries a wide range of silicone skirt material. Silicone is an ideal product for making fishing lure skirts as it is elastic, durable, and retains its color. Silicone will not “melt” in your tackle box (like the traditional rubber skirts did) and will not react to or bleed out when in contact with soft plastic lures. This material comes in finely cut strips (often called tabs or pads) that are attached at both ends to ensure efficient skirt assembly. The tips, which hold the material together, are only cut off after the assembly is complete, allowing the skirt strands to spring free. Your skirt is now ready to fish!
Rubber collars are the most common way to “tie” skirts, however, some anglers prefer to tie skirts with thread where a tighter collar can be achieved with more flare. Rubber collars come in numerous styles, from simple bands to collars that have rattle holders. For assembly, you will need a device to stretch the collar open in order to insert your skirt material.
Skirts can be made with the desired “fullness” for your application. See the four most common skirt types below. Of course, the sky is the limit when making your own skirts, and they can be customized down to the last strand! Tab colors can be mixed and matched to achieve the desired color pattern.
Lite Skirt – 35 strands (1 full tab & 1 half tab)
Standard Skirt – 44 strands (2 full tabs)
Accent Skirt – 55 strands (2 full tabs and 1 half tab accent)
Full Skirt – 66 strands (3 full tabs)

Good Selection of Colors
by SouthernMan85
good selection of colors. caught a lot of bass on these, but the pike seem to like them too. Maybe it's the bright colors. Would give them 5 stars, but the tip colors can be inconsistent. Fish might not care, but I do :)
Bass crush these
by DJ Stills Jr
For some reason, bass seem to trigger when they see a hot color. Kind a like a bull I guess. But whatever reason, they hit the black and blue and the black and red with a vengeance. Don't mix colors, just tie up a skirt with a couple of tabs of the same color.
Great for Skirt Accents
by RI Bass Guide
I like to use these for creating skirt accents. The brightly colored tips help create contrast and draw a few extra bites. They also work well in stained water, where visibility might be impaired by mud or just naturally discolored.
