    Jig Skirts All Twisted

    So I buy a lot of flat silicone skirts from fishingskirts.com. Sometimes I will get a 100 pack where the skirts all stick to each other and when you separate a tab, all the strands are stuck together. So now I have to separate each strand manually. I saw a video somewhere where the person took the tab and I want to say dipped it in hot water and all the strands separated. However, I don't remember if that was actually the process. Was that video link posted on this site or does anyone have a quick way to untangle these skirts without doing one at a time. Thanks for the help in advance.

    I take a couple of tabs and ball them up in my hand and rub them hard in a ball circular motion. Works for me.

    Cadman I have my vise on a sharpe edge wood platform I take the matted skirts hold both ends in my fingers tight and run the skirt back and fourth over the edge of the wood 3 or 4 times the skirt will flare out every time. If you want me to send you pics let me know. It works Everytime.

    I'll have to try that. Also some other good ideas as well. Thanks for the tips guys.
