There is no difference. "Sili Legs" and silicone skirt material are the same thing. It just costs more to buy them at fly shops. I've been using the silicone skirt layers/spinner bait skirt layers for my flies for close to 25 years. I buy them from tackle making catalogs like Jann's Netcraft and Barlow's. I even use a full spinner bait skirt for some of my bass bugs. If I'm tying 1/8 oz or smaller jigs, I prefer the the "traditional" materials, bucktail and marabou. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Thanks for clarifying that they’re basically the same material Fallser. And your jig looks right on the mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
