I put silicone skirts in some of my lead pour jigs with great results. Silicone skirt tabs inserted
in mold and poured lead. Look great in the water. The 4 oz. flutter jig from do-it mold. The picture
is the actual rig fished 4 hours for limits of rockfish, cabezon, lings. So seems to be pretty durable.
Only drawback seems to be that it has to be shielded from the priming and painting process.
That looks cool. I'm going to have to try that.

what he said. did you have to drill mold to accept the skirt? i have a 4 oz diamond mold that this should work well on.
best,

John,
It looks like he just placed the skirts across the opening of the mold before closing then poured the lead. Silicon has a high melting temperature, so I think it would be okay.

Agreed.
awesome, innovation at the best
Hey if these skirted jigs out fish unskirted jigs you are on to something. Try packaging and selling them. Dominick
Wow how did I miss this?
A great idea to try when I get some time to pour.
Thanks to the original poster.
