Post by: dartag on February 27, 2010, 06:20:36 AM
any of the local shops in SE Mich stock skirts.   been tying some jigs winter with skirts i ordered online.  would like to have a color selection i could look at before buying.  guess a road trip to JANNS Netcraft is not out of the question.

There is a guy on Ebay selling some good quality skirts at a very good price. I've been using them for a few years and am very satisfied. If you type in " 25 silicone skirts" they will pop up.. He is located in Michigan so Shipping is fast ad cheap. You can usually bid $6.25 and win them or "buy now" for $8.00 or so for 25 count.

I bought some stuff from Lurecraft a couple weeks ago and got it in 2 days.  They must not like you.

maybe I could put my pet crawfish in a box and send it to them.  tell them to match his colors and send me some skirts.

Try KD Outdoors for skirts.  I remember them having them.  I have bought some from them too.  The ideal place to buy them was at the Ultimate Fishing Show.  They had a lot of vendors selling them.  A road trip to the fishing show in Grand Rapids should not be out of the question.  I am sure some vendors there will have them.

sat here this morning and ordered one bag of each color that looked good to me.   now I just have to wait till the ice is gone and the crawfish start hanging around the rocks by my sea wall.  I will grab a few and match the colors. 

also plan to make a few the color of Wayne's St-clair craw tube color.  I took some photos a few years ago of his craw tube and some bits from my livewell.  the match was very close.   have to find that photo later today.

no rush there are still trucks driving by my house on the lake.
