What the heck are skirt tabs?!
Well, there is an answer! Skirt tabs are small strands of silicone, that go onto the middle of your spinner baits, bass jigs, etc. They add naturalism and volume to your lures, and really complete them!
Without skirts, your lures look very basic, and simple. For instance, you can through a swimbait on the back of a jig head, and it looks very plain. Well, if you also have skirt tabs on the middle of the jig head, INSTANTLY your lure had a much more natural profile. The skirts, depending on how many you add, can also increase the size of your lure. This can be key when you are hunting larger predatory fish.
Not only are skirt tabs useful for everything listed above, but they are also a great way to allow you to CUSTOMIZE your lures! You can choose what color your skirt is, how many colors you skirt has, how many layer of skirt tabs you are going to use, and even how short/long you skirt is!
Skirts are not only a BLAST to make and put on your lures, but they can really step up your fishing game!
