moby bass Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 After the skirts have deteriorated on a buzzbait, or spinnerbait for that matter, has anyone ever fished them by simply threading a curly tail grub onto the hook? Has it worked for you? On a related question, is there an easy way to get new skirts into buzzbaits and spinnerbaits, or is it simply not worth the effort to replace them. Quote
NebraskaBasser Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Well, personally, I always use a curly grub (or ribbon-tail worm) trailer - WITH a skirt. I guess I've never really tried them without a skirt (and just the tail/trailer). Not sure if I understand the 2nd part of your question as I've always thought that the skirts are pretty easy to replace. Just remove the old one (cut/pull off) if it's still on and slide on a new one. Most of the replacement skirts have a small surgical-rubber tube at the core. Just carefully slide it over the point/barb, around the hook bend, and on to the head "neck" - just in front of the hook. If you have problems with it slipping off, use a drop of instant-glue. Hope that helps... Quote
