??? Punch Skirts ???

Recommended Posts

Have some in the process even as we speak. Used my old spinnerbait mold, cut off a hook shank and poured around it. Drilled out the hole, smoothed off the sharp edges etc. etc. Am in the process of painting.

My next concern is how to hold it while tying the skirt on? Will probably try wrapping the head with a wide rubberband and clamping it up long enough to tie the skirt on.

Will keep[ everyone posted.

I buy my skirt strips from Skirts Plus, along with a few other places. That way I can have the exact colors I want, as full as I want, etc. etc. and make them myself dirt cheaper. Just concerned with tying them in place. Don't like the rubber collars.

I figured a way to make these..I take the inside of a bic stik ink pen (the ink tube part) clean it out with lighter fluid & a small bit of cotton pushed thru with spinnerbait wire. Cut the tube in 5/16" long pcs, stick a toothpick in one end of a pc and hold it close to a lighter flame. The plastic will melt into a "mushroom shape", stick it in water to harden, turn the pc around and repeat so you wind up with a hourglass shaped plastic pc that will be the inner tube. Fasten your choice of skirting with thread or wire and viola', you have a redneck tech "punch skirt"!
