<p><strong>Santec Silicone Skirt 13cm — 100% Silicone Rubber</strong></p> <p>A skirt is the part of a spinnerbait, buzzbait, rubber jig, inchiku or tairaba that does the actual fish-attracting. It breathes on the pause, flares on the lift and collapses on the fall, giving the lure a living outline that a hard body cannot. It is also the part that dies first. Rubber and older silicone skirts harden, stick together, curl and lose colour after a season in the sun and the tackle box, and a stiff skirt turns a good jig into a lump of lead. These 13 cm skirts are made from 100% silicone for flexibility and long life, and they let you rebuild a favourite lure instead of retiring it.</p> <p>Replacing skirts also puts colour choice back in your hands. Sixteen colours means you can mix strands across two or three packs and build combinations no factory lure comes in — a dark base with two bright strands for stained water, a translucent shad pattern for clear reservoirs, or a full chartreuse skirt for a muddy river after rain.</p> <h3>Key Features</h3> <ul> <li>100% silicone for flexibility, durability and long-lasting performance</li> <li>Soft strands create natural swimming and pulsing action</li> <li>Fade-resistant colours that stay bright after repeated use</li> <li>High elasticity with strong stretch and recovery to prevent tearing</li> <li>Designed for easy installation on jigs, spinnerbaits and lures</li> <li>13 cm strand length, trimmable to any profile you need</li> <li>Sixteen colours for mixing custom patterns</li> <li>Freshwater and saltwater use</li> </ul> <h3>How To Rig It</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Re-skirting a jig or spinnerbait</strong> — Cut the old skirt collar off with a blade, taking care not to nick the hook shank or wire. Slide the new skirt onto the collar seat and lock it with a skirt band, a short length of silicone tube or a few wraps of tying thread.</li> <li> <strong>Trim to tune the action</strong> — Full 13 cm strands give maximum flare and a slow fall. Trim to just past the hook bend for a compact bait that fish cannot short-strike, or taper the strands so the outer ones are longer for a fuller shape.</li> <li> <strong>Inchiku and tairaba skirts</strong> — Thread strands through the head or tie them onto the assist cord behind the head. Keep the bunch thin here — a heavy skirt kills the slow, drifting fall these rigs depend on.</li> <li> <strong>Mix your own colours</strong> — Pull strands from two or three packs and combine them. A common formula is a dark or natural base with four to six contrasting strands as an accent.</li> <li> <strong>Blend with other materials</strong> — Add a few strands of aurora or luminous thread, or a small feather, into the same collar for flash and movement the silicone alone will not give.</li> </ul> <h3>Target Species By Region</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Southeast Asia</strong> — Rebuilt spinnerbaits and rubber jigs for giant snakehead (toman), hampala barb (sebarau) and peacock bass in reservoirs; re-skirted inchiku and tairaba for grouper (kerapu) and snapper on boat trips.</li> <li> <strong>North America</strong> — The classic home of the skirted lure: largemouth and smallmouth bass on flipping jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and chatterbaits, plus pike and musky on oversized skirted baits.</li> <li> <strong>Japan &amp; East Asia</strong> — Tairaba and inchiku skirts for madai and hata, and rubber jig work for black bass on Japanese lakes.</li> <li> <strong>Australia, Middle East &amp; Europe</strong> — Spinnerbaits for barramundi, Murray cod and yellowbelly in Australia; pike and perch on skirted jigs and spinnerbaits in European lakes and canals; skirted bottom rigs for hamour in the Gulf.</li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <table> <thead><tr> <th>Length</th> <th>Material</th> <th>Colours</th> <th>SKU Range</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>13 cm</td> <td>100% silicone rubber</td> <td>16</td> <td>3921101–3921116</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Available colours: 01, 02, 03, 0
