GY mini skirts

[Jonas Staggs]

are there any other brands that make these plastic skirts like this? I guess these have been dc'd?

Is there any particular color your looking for?  A friend of mine has some and he never uses them.  I'd be more than happy to ask what he wants for them and ship them to you for cost.

Along the ago, I ran into this product and tried it and while I think it is a great idea it didn't work real well for me.  I'm not sure if this new variation is exactly like the one I tried, but the one I tried was actually a tube between the two skirts - so it didn't stay put on the jig very well and slid down and bunch up with whatever trailer I was using.   When I tried it on a spinner bait, it slid down to the hook bend on every cast - the bait holder on the shank of the hook wasn't enough to hold it in place, plus the plastic was very soft and didn't want to be held.

Around the same time, or maybe a little later (early 90's) Berkley marketed a spinner bait with a powerboat trailer and a  powerboat molded skirt.   The powerboat, being less soft than the Yamaoto plastic held quite a bit better.   Out of the water, the plastic skirt looked kinda weird, but pulled through the water it looked ok.   One season, maybe 2 and Berkley didn't market that bait anymore that I know of.

 

I think if the connection between the two skirts was solid and if you used superglue to attach the skirt to the jig hook that would work ok.  Try it & and out.

thanks my friend, I think any color would be fine. If I had a option of choosing, picking a color would be great.

yeah thats what I was thinking, how awesome would it be to just have a skirt you can slip on like a plastic worm.
