In the skirts?

[BPACA]

How particular are you guys about your jig and spinnerbait skirts? Do you guys have a favorite brand out there or do you just use the ones that come with the baits? I think this year I'm going to play around with some things and see if it makes any difference.

Mainly, I like to use the baits that come with the baits. Strike King, Booyah, Outkast, Mann's, all have fairly good living-rubber skirts. This year though, I plan to buy a few new skirts (have to be living-rubber) to mess around with. Never know when a big 'ole pike'll come up and nab a bait!

starflash, or hydrosilk brand skirts are what I normally use to replace the previous skirt with. P N J

I'm currently playing with Skirts Plus - The Sil-a-chrome skirts are very nice for spinnerbaits. The Barbwire PBJ and Black/Blue are very nice for jigs.
(By the way I'm selling them this year so I may be a little biased. There are plenty of others out there.)
One thing for sure is that the ones you find at the store (2 or 3 in a pack) don't come close to the better skirts out there.

for spinnerbaits i really like war eagle and booyah. for my jigs i like jewel and chompers. i am making my own football jigs and hope to add roundhead jigs soon too. so i am making my own skirts, and so far i like the way they are coming out.

I like to custom make my skirts according to the water color and forage. I have found that multicolor skirts work great in clear water. I may use watermelon and white with just a touch of purple and chartreuse. I like my skirt to be a little thinner in clear water and a little heavier in stained. I believe that commercial skirts color wise are all so similar that haveing a different look may turn todays pressured bass on. Look at BPS skirt factory or go to one of your better local bait stores and you will find a huge assortment of skirt colors. Dont be afraid to experiment and think out side the box. Everything is not Chartreuse and white. Fish2win

I like anything with blood red and white booyah makes the best skirts and they last through the big pike

[BigBassin144]

I'm also a big fan of BOOYAH's skirts. They have held up all season for me. And I really don't plan on changing them any time soon.

I also use the strike king skirts. I wouldn't compliment Zook too much. Im not sure if I could handle his 6'6" frame walking around in a short skirt. JB insert picture here>............................................. .........

JB, don't worry about it, we don't really need to see that.

i usually stick with the skirt that comes on the bait. i just find the color i want at the store. sometimes i trim the skirts up a little bit.

[renagadebee34]

hey big bassin. what are your favorite color skirts

[JB]

i replace almost all my skirts with a variety of dif textured skirts and colors that I've collected over the years..basic colors for me is chartruse or white or a combo.

[3dkicker]

Here's a few skirts I just added to my product line (they're a little fuzzy when you zoom in on them).

Also found a few interesting baits to throw this year and I've modified them too (shhh!!! PnJ might be listening).

[bassnman30]

I use Starflash. They come in various colors, but I like the white/gold flakes and the white w/silver flakes.

[3dkicker]

Got the silver flakes too. Very nice but the chrome stands out more and gives a much better flash in the water.
