10,000 lakes Bassin Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Ive never made my own jig skirts and I don’t know if I want to make the full commitment to do so, but I was wondering about buying jigheads and rubber banded jig skirts separately and then wire tying the pre-made skirts on? This way I could match my favorite jigheads with my favorite colored skirts from different brands, save some money, and see if I want to make my own skirts from scratch in the future. What wire would you recommend to tie them? Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted February 14 Super User Posted February 14 I use 26 ga copper floral wire. If you want to save more money you can use skirt tabs and wire. 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted Friday at 07:01 PM Super User Posted Friday at 07:01 PM 20 to 26 Guage Craft wire with 22 being what I use the most. Get yourself a set of Harbor Freight twisting pliers. Allen Quote
