Making your own custom fishing skirts is one of the easiest ways to get an advantage on the water. By mixing and matching colors, you can perfectly mimic local forage. Below is a complete step-by-step guide to building your own skirts using an economic skirt tool and rubber collars. (Note - some anglers prefer to tie their own skirts with thread or wire)

Required Tools & Supplies

You can find all of these items under the skirt-making category on the Lure Parts Online Skirt Making Catalog:

Skirt Making Tool: Skirt tools are designed to help you spread the rubber collar so you can easily insert the skirt materials you are using.
Silicone or Rubber Skirt Tabs: These come in hundreds of colors and patterns. You will generally use 2 to 3 tabs per skirt depending on how full you want it to look.
Rubber Skirt Collars (Bands): Available in several colors to match your skirt pattern. Also available with “ears” (attachments) to hold rattles if desired.
Sharp Scissors: For trimming the tabs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Load the Skirt Collar

Take one skirt collar and slide it onto the tapered tip of your skirt making tool. Push the collar up onto the main cylinder shaft (barrel) of the tool so it rests out of the way for the next steps. You can load multiple skirt collars on the cylinder shaft before you start the skirt assembly process. This will allow you to make multiple skirts without reloading.

Step 2: Prepare and Stack Your Material

Pick out the silicone or rubber tabs you want to create your custom skirt.

For a standard spinnerbait, buzzbait or swim jig, stack 2 full tabs together.
For a bulkier football jig, you can stack up to 3 tabs. Or you can add a half-tab for a highlight color (like orange or chartreuse).
Line up the solid, uncut ends (the tabs) so the sheets are perfectly flush.

Step 3: Hook the Material

Push the inner rod of your skirt tool so the wire hook extends out of the far end of the cylinder. Take your stacked silicone tabs and grab the center of the solid end tabs with the hook. Try to keep the tabs from twisting and bunching up.

Step 4: Pull the Hooked Tabs Into the Tool

Slowly pull the hook backward, drawing the silicone material inside the hollow cylinder of the tool. Pull it through until the material is roughly centered inside the tool, or slightly off-center if you want a skirt to hang evenly after it is assembled.

Step 5: Slide the Collar Onto the Skirt

While holding the material steady, grab the skirt collar that you loaded onto the barrel in Step 1. Roll or slide the collar down off the tool and directly onto the silicone material. Make sure the band snaps tightly around the center of the stacked strands.

Step 6: Release and Trim

Push the skirt material back out of the cylinder and unhook the material. At this point, your strands should be bound together by the collar but still connected by the solid ends.

Take a sharp pair of scissors and cut off the solid tabbed ends on both sides. Once trimmed, the individual strands should immediately separate and flare out.

Pro Tip – Use a fine-tooth comb to groom your skirts and finish separating the strands.

Your custom skirt is now complete and ready to slide onto your favorite jig head, spinnerbait, or buzzbait!

Just what the doctor ordered!

by Fishin' Hard

I'm a doctor and I just ordered these, so headline is true! On a more serious note, I love these new colors. Great color combos in more subtle, natural patterns. The Chartreuse Shad color is even better than the picture, if that's possible. Can't wait to throw these. Got some swim jigs too and they are going to be a killer combo, no doubt. 5 stars!!

Nice work, LPO!

by Bass Blaster 269

Just got my order and these skirts exceeded my expectations. Love the sexy bluegill color and I am going to mix in the new "Crushed Craw" color into my spring crawfish patterns. So many choices, so little time! Thanks, LPO, for another jaw dropping addition to your vast skirt material line.
