I’ve been making my own swim jigs for a few years now and I started dabbling making my own casting and finesse football jigs. The only thing I keep noticing is my skirts don’t flare, they mostly just fall flat against the jig body when I use a band, wire, and thread to tie the skirt material. It makes it so the skirts don’t pulsate when in the water and just looks dead, even on swimming jigs.
Is there a trick to make the skirt flare out? Or is it as simple as adding more strands?
