Quick take
Silicone rubber legs for tying fly patterns and replacing skirts on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and jigs.
This kit holds about 40 silicone strands in 12 colors, each around 5.5 inches long, for tying your own flies and rebuilding skirts on lures. The barred legs suit fly patterns, and the same strips can replace worn skirts on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, spoons and jigs. It is a small, light pack aimed at bass and panfish tinkerers who like to mix their own color combinations.
