Spinnerbait Skirt Strand Count

Featured Replies

How many strands you like to put on your spinerbaits? I used a 40 ct in the past, but last year I dropped ct down to the 30's and really like the way he skirt pulsated in the water. Your thoughts?

I sometimes use (2) tabs, and that would be a full skirt for me on spinnerbaits but many times I go thinner. However on jigs I use 22 strands of a slilicote round skirt with 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigs and a 15 strand weedguard. Much better action for sure with less strands. However that is a personal choice. I don't know of many guys throwing 1/8 oz bass jigs either and I like my skirting on my jigs to be thin

I just retied a 1/2 oz spinnerbait with a 21 ct, using rod builders size c thread. It looks really nice the way the skirt flares out. I just really like a thinner skirt on spinnerbaits. The thinner skirt really gets accentuated on a stop and go retrieve.

Have a great Christmas cadman.

40 strands for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, 50-60 on jigs depending on size. like Cadman, I do go with less on smaller jigs.
