Wrapping skirt around the jig head

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I have some court/white skirt and Churt Jig head and I want to make my own Jig with it for Dam fishing, the color and weight are specific for that condition(the jig less getting snag in lighter weight). so I can turn something to use while I am waiting for my reel to deliver.

I don't know if I use small zip tie or I use fishing line to fit the skirt up there.

anytime I want to try the skirt will not be in order and all of it will be in one side and I cant get it around the hook shaft even.

Any idea or suggestion?

Put the jig in a vice or vice grips.  Get some thread wrap it around the hook shank a few times.  Take a little skirt material, hold it in place and wrap it with thread.  Keep repeating the process moving around the hook until you have it finished.  Tie it with half hitches and put some super glue on the thread.

Thank you so much

Jig man beat me to it.  It may not matter but I would tie the green/chartreuse strands on top of the jig.  Depends on how often you plan to do this, but it's easier to tie in a skirt layer than to tie in the individual strands.
