I recently had some skirts go bad on my spinners and happen to have an abundance of embroidery thread in every color, could I tie this onto the jig head and make it like a skirt?

You could, but it's not going to have anywhere near the same action.

 

Why not get some decent skirts from Do-It - https://store.do-itmolds.com/Living-Image-Banded-Skirts_p_844.html

 

If you're on a tight budget - I've used these from Amazon and they're not too bad

 

I don't know what you mean by going bad. But if they are all stuck together and melted, then I would throw them in the garbage and get new skirts. Like mentioned above you can get them from Do-It molds, Barlows, Lure Parts on line, Jann's Netcraft and fishingskirts.com. There are a few others. Once you get the skirts, I would then tie the new skirt on with your upholstery thread or you can use copper wire. Good Luck.

Yes, for some jig presentations it will work.

What kind of presentations do you use them for?

And what is the embroidery from?

Cotton thread wont work for anything

They would work, but I imagine they wouldn't dry fast and would fray with use.  I'd try it on a bait or 2 just for the heck of it.

I would think that on a stop go retrieve the way that the thread would pulsate in the water would be bomb.com!
