Weld's Largemouth Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 So i have this nice spinnerbait that lost its skirt on a snag of some sort, so i decided not to let the nice lure go to waste just because of a skirt, i put on a plastic trailer (mr crappie joker) and it looks interestingly enticing.

Mccallister25 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Only one way to find out. Fish with it and see if they might like it. If no luck, ou can buy replacement skirts of various colors at BPS. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 14, 2014 Super User Posted May 14, 2014 Nothing wrong with that, it'll come in handy when they want a smaller profile. Quote

bclark7b Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 The flash alone should get a few reaction strikes Quote
papajoe222 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I've replaced the skirt on a spinnerbait with a 4in. curly tail grub, a solid body swimbait and a worm. They work with or without the skirt, but seem to work better alone during the warm water period after the spawn. The best 'replacement' I've found is a 4in. tube with the tentacles cut longer and turned inside out. I know, I've got too much time on my hands to come up with some of the modifications I try. Sometimes it isn't a b*%#h getting old and no, I don't do drugs. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted May 15, 2014 Super User Posted May 15, 2014 I would go with a hot chartreuse skirt with a 4" split double tail grub trailer in chartreuse from mister twister. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 That will catch a few. Looks like a big beetle-spin Quote
Super User Marty Posted May 16, 2014 Super User Posted May 16, 2014 I've done a lot of fishing with a grub on a jighead with an overhead spinner attached. I can't see any reason why a spinnerbait with a soft plastic in lieu of a skirt shouldn't work. Bass hit an extremely wide variety of lures and combinations therefrom and this should be no exception.
