Here's a couple eBay stores that I've bought from: Accent Fishing Direct (alonzo1954) and Tournament Bass Baits (tony-kay). They both have some excellent skirt selections. I've also bought from BPS and Cabelas, and I've caught fish with them. Both eBay stores have close-up shots of their products, so you can get a pretty good idea of what's available.

Even after posting my instructions, I have to agree. I make my own skirts and spinnerbaits as well; there's nothing better than catching a fish on a lure you made yourself.

I will have to start looking into making my own skirts. Hopefully I will be doing the Lead Pour-A-Thon 2010 and will have many jigs to outfit and dress up. Is there any brand of skirts people prefer? I have seen some that look like they have upwards of 100 strands, but most seem to be a lot less than that. Are those usually "Custom tied" to get that many strands?

Barlow tackle is good you can get everything there. I order my skirt materials Rubber and Silicone and my jig heads from them. The nice thing is they have the type of jig head I use with a weed guard and they come painted already. There is nothing more rewarding than tying up a jig and then getting it hammered. The only tough thing is that I have lost probably 5 FB head jigs I tied up just in the last month and one mop jig too. Good luck!!

Do-it molds.....they have everything for luremaking. Lurenet.com has stuff, Bass Pro has a lot too. I was just in Atlanta and the Bass Pro there had a whole Row of skirts and other components.

I have been pouring my own lead and making my own jigs for a long time and found that as far as colors go, sometimes they don't look the same in person as they do online or in a catalog so I would start with a small package size in case you arent happy with the colors.

Good Luck
