Quick take
A 10-color assortment of silicone skirt material with pearl flakes, sized and packaged for tying flies, buzzbaits and spinnerbait skirts.
This pack holds ten bundles of silicone skirt strands in ten colors, each bundle about 5.5 inches long. It suits anglers who build or refresh their own spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, spoons, blades and jigs, and fly tiers can use the strands too. Having a full range of colors on hand makes it easy to rework a lure to match the water you fish.
Best for
- Tying jig skirts for bass and pike
- Building custom spinner and buzzbait skirts
- Creating streamers and saltwater flies
Skip if
- You tie only dry flies; silicone is too heavy and stiff
- You want barred color legs for traditional nymphs; this is solid
Strengths
- Silicone holds color and shape better than natural hackle
- Pearl flakes add flash and attraction
- One set covers 10 colors for variety without multiple packs
Trade-offs
- Silicone is stiffer than fur and takes practice to work with
- Pearl flakes can make flies too flashy for clear water
- 5.5 in strands need trimming for many fly patterns
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
- Skill level
- Intermediate
