Painter1 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I have seriously lost my tool and am not seeing its replacement on Barlow’s, etc. It was green, about 10”-12” long and about 4” wide. Bought it several decades ago. Ideas on getting a replacement are most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryF2858 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Try fishingskirts.com they have a production tool that's green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 Thank you. That is exactly what I lost and want to replace. The site fooled me because I looked under “Tools” at first. Unfortunately they are out of stock. Anyone have one to sell/trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Fishing Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 We stopped carrying this tool around 3 years ago because we rarely, if ever, received them from the manufacturer. Matt Barlow Barlow's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I wire tie my skirts anymore. Got tired of the rubber degrading and losing the skirts or even the threat of it. If you wire tie the silicone lasts forever. I do have a tool for the bands that I bought from Bubba Robinson years ago. The tool is based off the torpedo type tools but mounted on a piece poly butyl that you can clamp on a work station. Be glad to post a pic if you want one and would be relatively easy to make. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that but have a bit of an issue as in I left town today on a weeklong Smallmouth trip up to Rainy Lake and it’s in my shop at home. I will see if I have an old photo of it and if I can find one I’ll post it. Otherwise, it’ll be a week or so. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Thank you, Mark. Here’s a pic of the tool. I thought I had taken one a bunch of years ago for another guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
