Smirak Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I need to spruce up my chatterbaits and am wondering if anyone knows the colors/patterns for the skirt? i want to get into tying jigs, so i figured i would replace some skirts before I start tying some jigs.

Super User fishballer06 Posted May 29 Super User Share Posted May 29 Are you looking to have someone build you some skirts? Or just asking what color skirts you should use? Quite a few of us here are capable of doing either, myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of us here are capable of doing either, myself included. Thanks @fishballer06 I want to tie some myself. I am a retired 50 yr old (disabled vet) and I like to pick up hobbies. I’ve been fishing for years now, and just see this as a natural progression. At this time, I don’t want to get into Loring my own jig heads because I just don’t use enough, and have no intention to sell anything. I’m about 45 mins from Lake Guntersville and there are literally hundreds or small bait makers that are in the local tackle shops. That said, I’m looking to buy poured jig heads. I know many places sell them, but does anyone recommend one over the other? I have seen like lure parts online and Barlows, but if I can, I’d rather support a smaller place, builder, etc. Not that I do t want to give the man my money, I do it nearly daily. However, I would rather help the smaller guy out. Bonus if they are a disabled vet! 7 hours ago, Ski said: Keep it simple! White...Green Pumpkin..... Bluegill.... Thanks @Ski I figured the GP and white. Couldn’t figure out a third color! My local Cabela’s has the EZ skirt replacements in the GPS, but I’d rather tie my own. For $5 though for 3, I’m going to pick some up anyway. I really want to have some GPS for the evo’s. I have grown to like them as much as my jackhammers.

Super User fishballer06 Posted May 29 Super User Share Posted May 29 The great part with making your own is you can get as wild and plain as you want to get. I make a sexy shad color skirt that does well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txchaser Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Maybe this will spawn an idea for you - many things in the water are laminate - they have a top color and a bottom color. As an example you could have a GP brownish top and a lighter GP bottom, or a watermelon bottom. Looks more like a natural pattern now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Crawford Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I will geek out sometimes with my skirts. I tie mine while on the water. Ill see what color the crawdads or the perch are and match them. I love being able to catch a bass on a jig I just tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
