cadman Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Jay, I have not used it, but a guy by the name of smalljaw on this site has. He is very knowledgeable, and will give you his honest opinion on it. If I recall correctly in speaking with him he liked the skirts. I will call him and let him know about your thread question. 1 Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted May 10, 2013 Super User Posted May 10, 2013 I get the bio-silk skirt tabs and I really really llike the material. This is living rubber without the hassel, it is silicone but it looks, feels, and acts like living rubber. The big difference between the bio-silk and regular silicone in the water is the seperation, on a jig with silicone skirting the jig hits the bottom and then a second later the silicone strands will seperate and slowly fall. The bio-silk will seperate as soon as the jig hits bottom and will sort of hang in the water, longer than the regular silicone does. I am a big fan of silicone so I use it on all my jigs and spinnerbaits but now I add a tab of bio-silk to my skirts and it really gives it a little more action, I prefer the electric colors, white, green pumpkin, orange and coffee.

Wow thanks smalljaw67, that is a awesome summary. I am going to have to stock up on them for sure. I like to tinker with baits and will for sure give them a try. Thanks again. Jay- Quote

Jay- I just ordered eletric orange, green pumpkin, and coffee today, 100 of each and this is the 3rd order that I placed since it came out. You should see my brush jigs when I wire tie two full tabs of bio-silk green pumpkin with a half tab of ripple or krinkle cut green pumkin silicone, that jig consistantly gets bit by bigger fish than any other jig I've made and I thing the material is a big part of its success. Good luck!! Quote
