Quick take
A 10-color silicone skirt material set for tying fly legs, lure skirts and custom streamers and saltwater flies.
This is a set of soft silicone skirt strands in ten colors, with 40 strands of each color at 30 cm long. Tiers use them for fly legs and tiers and lure builders use them to dress jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and spoons. The assortment lets you match or contrast with the water and forage without buying single colors.
