Thread: Spinner baits

What can you do to keep the skirts on spinner baits from melting???

Make sure you have good quality silicone skirts - BioFlex silicone is excellent. Also, drying your baits before storing them really helps keep the strands separated. Hope this helps...

keep them in a cool place as well

Its been al long time since ive had a skirt melt, I dont believe the silicone ones do. What annoys me is when i use a banded skirt and the band starts getting loose then breaks.

I usually sprinkle a little baby powder on mine to keep them from sticking together and I usually take my spinner bait box in the house when I get home from the lake. Never had a problem....

Heat & Soft Plasics can kill a RUBBER skirt or the RUBBER band on a silicon skirt.

I like to change skirts and not the whole lure so I do not tie the skirts on to the Spinner Bait ... having said that I will say that you can make a better skirt "action" by them being tied on ... No slippage either.

2 cents worth

i dont never have problems with spinner baits but i had one of my crankbaits out in the sun one day and bye the end of the day it looked like a brokeback minner

put powder on them

I use small cable ties or copper wire to hold the skirts on. I've had a lot of trouble with the rubber bands rotting.
