I'm going to stock up on jigs and place a massive order on jig heads and skirts. I was wondering, how dense is a 40 strand skirt? About average? How about 60 strands?

edit

Oh yeah, how do snootie jigs pull through algae?

Thanks

I like a thick skirt and 40 strands just dont get it with me. Not sure about those Snootie jigs though....never tried them.

I knew a dense skirt once.

But it was politically incorrect.

Now I say "intellectual challenged female"

"intellectual challenged female"

sounds like a fancy way of saying "woman" to me :D

I'm gonna pay for that one!

Matt, you should be fine with the 40 strand skirt. As far as density i would just worry about size

3/8 ounce, 1/2 ounce etc...and if you need a slower fall, add a bulkier trailer

Thin: 40 strands

Average: 60 strands

Thick: 120 strands

If I were to order buck skirts I would also order a skirt tool  :D

They average skirt on a factory jig or spinnerbait is between 40-50 strands. If you are using the standard silicone skirt tabs form Jann's etc. they are about 22 strands per tab. On clear water baits I use 2 tabs, stained 2 and a 1/2, 3 for muddy water and the most I have ever used was 4 tabs but they had trouble fitting into the skirt collar.
