timjohnson Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 How many standard size jig skirts can you get out of a pound of round rubber, either the regular grade or the fine grade? I've never used rubber for skirts, but looking at purchasing some to try out. Looking at a catalog, a pound of regular grade is 86 feet and a pound of fine grade is 190 feet. Does it take more fine grade to make a skirt, or is it just "lighter" in weight than then regular grade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I use 4" of round rubber per jig so that would be 86X3=258 jigs per pound. I don't know anything about the fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Tim, Just multiply the feet times 12 and that will give total inches. Then decide how long to cut the strips. I use two, 5" strips per jig of the narrow rubber. The rubber also comes in different widths depending on where you buy it. Hope this helps.
