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)

Great skirts

by

You want a skirt that gives action with some great colors to boot check these out. Dont matter what you throw them on you will catch more fish than a standard silicone or rubber skirt guarenteed.

Best Tennessee Shad color ever!

by

Not sure about the skirt trapping the air, but the different texture seems to work. The best thing about this material for me are some of the colors. The Tennessee Shad, color 083, is the best shad color I have ever seen. Material feels thicker than the regular silicone. Good stuff!
