 I guess people will buy them

Wed, 2012-02-22 20:16

 I guess people will buy them because they can now. I've been making my own for a few years and if you already make your own assists then adding a $1 squid and a 2c bead certainly isn't hard, and pretty rewarding.

 They sure look good! Is there any proven advantages of the skirts do you think? I like to use them also but Im not sure I've actually noticed a difference in catch rate.

 Ah yeah true, Baldddiesss... still yet to crack a baldie on jig. 

Just actually ordered some ingredients to make some of those myself.. love making my own assists, agree with the satisfaction of it.

Wed, 2012-02-22 20:56

if people could get there hands on those identical skirts alot more people would make there own
i make my own and the squids i have bought have never sat as nicely in the water as the pirate assists
and tend to clump together

You must be buying the wrong

Wed, 2012-02-22 20:59

You must be buying the wrong skirts Lewis, there's plenty on the market very similar to the Pirates.

Not every angler is the same, some find it easier purchasing them pre-made and some prefer the kick out of making their own.

Each to there own i suppose :)

I make my own assist hooks

Wed, 2012-02-22 21:21

I make my own assist hooks but have not been able to find these small skirts anywhere..

Most are a lot bigger and don't work as well..

 

so I'll be buying some premade...

Fri, 2012-02-24 09:09

No doubt the additional assist tinsel helps in most instances, particularly for first time jiggers and especially with baldies, but we have found a few of the flutter type jigs are better without the girly skirts.
