dwtaylor Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 All, fishingskirts/skirtsunlimited used to have a wide stranded rubber skirt material that I can't find on their website. I think it was flatline tarantula rubber? Anyone know where to get this? I already use andys square rubber and it isnt that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those appear to be all round rubber options. I have plenty of that stuff, but I saw some color options I don't already have so I will keep them in mind. The black rubber strands like the jig below are what I am looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjiggin1955 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I like using the heavy round grade rubber for making mop jigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Forgive what might be a stupid question (surprise, surprise) but why is flat rubber better than round rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjiggin1955 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The old flat living rubber had better action easier to tie better flare and was and all around better material in fine regular & heavy grade. Old school flat rubber is just a spin off of the true flat rubber of years ago. Not made with the same quality grade material. Round rubber is a good product in fine regular & heavy grades. It works well with silicone flashabou and bucktail accents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjiggin1955 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 The old flat square living rubber depending on what skirt design you built and style of jig head and size of jig head would determined the rate of fall the jig would have. Today's round rubber is not much different tied in the same skirt design and style of jig heads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
