Raw Worm Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I just have a couple of questions to help me get started: What kind of wire should I use for tying the skirts on bass jigs? Also, which gauge of wire should I use? The reason I am asking is because I don't like to the rubberband style collars. Thank for the help Raw Worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I just have a couple of questions to help me get started:What kind of wire should I use for tying the skirts on bass jigs?

I'm not sure of the gauge as it is out of an old table saw motor. You want it strong enough to be able to pull it tight with 2 pairs of pliers.

Bender Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I use 24 gauge craft wire. I like the smaller wire but it tends to cut the skirt material when tightening it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
