Perk Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I was wanting to make slip on skirts for some of my inline spinners instead of dressed trebles. My question is what can I use to tie on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
village-tackle Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would try a look at coil springs. They may be the ticket in getting done what you're wanting to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Have you considered a hootchie skirt? Just cut the tip off and slip it on. We have a local tackle company who makes a lot of inline spinners. What he does is to use the brass bodies that accommodate skirts and uses a rubber skirtband to hold on some regular skirt material. For some reason I cant seem to cut and paste the link to a hootchie skirt but you could just google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 If you are familiar with flash type materials for fly and jig tying it is simple to use . Cut a piece twice as long as you will need for a tail . Run that threw the eye ,fold over . Then slide a colored tube over the eye and flash to hold it in place . Drop of super glue on the exposed fold at the eye . Could even use shrink tube . You can quickly have a bunch ready to go on your spinners before assembly .

Perk Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Coil springs would probably work well. What do you use for colored tubing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
village-tackle Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Perk- I have used electrical heat shrink tubing over the coiled spring. (have in the past). For tubing, as in tying similiar to tube flies, I have used the straws that come in squirt bottles. You can often times get them when you finish a bottle of Windex or cleaner solution. Besure to clean the chemical off really well!! You will also want to keep in mind that if you use this tube suggestion. If you don't pay attention to the tube odor - you might as well throw away your fishing pole using that set up. The fish may be able to smell it.

toadfrog Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I use that trick on a lot of slabs and spoons . Gives them a little bling . My baby girl who's not a baby anymore says bling is the thing . LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubs Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Perk, I've been using the tubes for tube flies and they work well. You can see a couple in the gallery section. The one with the brown trout body shows it the best. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index.php?/gallery/image/11941-spinner-3/ bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
