scottylack Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 hey , making spinnerbaits with typical silicone skirt with a band ... how do you shape the skirt so all the rubber flows backward and stays...? Is it just time hanging, or can you heat it with a hair dryer or heat gun...??? thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 When you make your skirt leave the end you want to flow back a little longer, this will make the skirt top heavy and the strands will fold under its own weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing you can do is not worry about it. When you put the spinnerbait in the water, the pressure of the water as you reel in will make the skirt strands pull back. Finally if you want your front strands to stick out hand tie your skirts. The pressure of your thread or wire will do that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
