What's the best mixture of silicone and rubbrr for jigs. Like how many silicone how many rubber

It is up to you to decide, I don't use rubber anymore since it is a hassle to keep stored without melting or becoming kinked. I'm not sure how the fish responf but some of the jigs that I liked that were made with both had a 60/40 mix, 60 % rubber and 40% silicone and it looked good as the rubber gave the jig a lot of body while the silicone provided a great accent color.

I figured it would be the other way around 60% silcone 40% rubber. But I guess I will just do some testing

It all depends on what kind of jig you want and what kind of action you like. If you want more of a finesse look on something like a 3/8oz or even a 1/4oz jig then a 40 or 45 strand skirt with 30 strands of silicone and 10 or 15 rubber strands. What that will do is when the jig hits bottom the rubber strands will seperate and fall away from the silicone, it gives it a different look and the rubber moving around will often generate a strike even just letting the jig sit without moving it for a few seconds.

The jigs I make are 5/16oz and 7/16oz ballhead with a 60 degree cross eye hook
