How to make bass jig skirts (MakeJig) - Episode 3

[@ggriego58]

Thank you for this video! I was going down the same path as you did with different razor blade setups. And running into the same problems. Just ordered my rotary blades and can't wait to try it tomorrow. Been racking my brain for too long, lol. Thanks again!!

[@RevampedOutdoors]

No problem. I hope you can get something working reliably!

[@julianborden6580]

This is awesome man I looked up how to make jig skirts out of curiosity and you broke down price points and everything. Great video

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Thanks glad it was informative, it's fun to do for sure, if it's economical? Meh, I'd say getting a good supplier is cheaper but not quite as cool lol.

[@barthanes1]

It seems like you need to buy or 3D print a pasta cutter to cut the strips of skirt material. Just set your preferred width of cut. No reason to reinvent the wheel. Also, using another food technique might help too. Powder the silicone sheets with cornstarch for easier cutting.

[@Piercedupp]

Awesome video! I have always wanted to make my own skirting material but never knew where to begin. This answered all my questions!

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Awesome! I'm glad I could help!

[@claudegagne2805]

Great video! Always looking to make fishing cheaper. I live on a lakeshore and I fish everyday the water isn't frozen. I lose alot of lures. Thanks again! Drop me a line if you're ever in southern Ontario!

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Thanks! It's a lot of fun to make custom lures for sure.

[@piercefamily2974]

Man your videos are super helpful...

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Thank you! I'm glad you get something from them, the more people making stuff the better!

Nice job

Thanks!

Hi! Very helpful video, thank you. Could you reveal the inner and outer dimensions of the orange skirt making tool tube? I would like to make one for myself.

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Sure I'll check it when I'm back at the desk! I'll try to remember, if I don't respond in a day post a response lol

[@sekopaat21]

@@RevampedOutdoors Ok, thanks!

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Inner diameter: 50mm Inner width for blades: 22.8 mm Outer length: 60 mm Outer bearing holder width: 56mm

Ever thought of making a tray to put the silicone in so you could just rub across the top and get consistent depths and then run your rotary cutter across. Basically make a skirt like you get from factory dealers? Quick and easy to work possibly, especially since you have a CNC to make the pour blocks yourself.

[@RevampedOutdoors]

I've thought about making a small 3d printed mold to inject the silicone into but the clearances seem to not be tight enough and I get a bunch of flashing. I might have to try the tray idea, the silicone is a bit sticky but I think with the right type of tool to drag it across might work. Thanks for the idea.

[@tvance111]

@@RevampedOutdoors i was thinking, maybe lay a sheet of wax paper down first in a 1 inch wide by 5 inches long slot. You could make a tray that has 6 to 10 slots at the 1x5 size. Plus, a flat piece to massage the latex flat or roll it level. Up to you. You're the smart guy with the tools. Surprise us all with your skills. Haha Then use that rolling cutter you made. I think you could mass produce some for yourself. If it works. I'll buy a set off of ya. Lol

[@mikesantos920]

Do you think this slicer would work for slicing tube tentacles?

[@RevampedOutdoors]

I would think so, would just have to be careful with the orientation so they stay consistent.

[@tvance111]

Which 3d printer and CNC would you suggest for someone to start out at home on their own?

[@RevampedOutdoors]

3d printer i would still recommend the Creality Ender 3, but it would be worth watching some reviews on newer printers. I haven't had to shop for one in a long time. I don't have a CNC right now but I have been looking at the Millwright CNC seems like a good price and structurally sound. I'll get one some day I think. Hope that helps.

[@tvance111]

@@RevampedOutdoors it does. Im completely ignorant of both. Now i have somewhere to look. Thanks!

[@franciscomasseilot6325]

Gracias

[@ggriego58]

Do you have an stl for this tool on thingyverse

[@levibaer18]

Couldn’t you melt old plastic lures to get your skirt sheets?

[@RevampedOutdoors]

I've thought about plastisol skirts before but I think they may not be very durable over time. I have some old soft plastic baits that degrade pretty bad over a couple years left out of bags

[@marklayland5424]

Hi, can I buy the orange screw on point tool from you please, I have got one that I purchased but it is too small. Yours looks the perfect size

[@RevampedOutdoors]

That's a good idea, I haven't thought about selling that stuff before. Not sure what I would even list it for.

[@marklayland5424]

Its a better tool than any other I have seen and would like to own one please, regards, Mark

[@tonymcgovern7205]

@@RevampedOutdoors I might be interested in one as well....

[@cameronraytucker]

I'd buy one too

[@shallowcastlures2221]

Great video Sir, always full of good info. if bass get you down you can always try for the cuttybrownbow trout i heard they are over there jk Looking forward to your next video of this series. Thank you Elliot

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Thank you sir! I like those cutbow-tigerlakers myself, little rare but you can get them on occasion ;).

[@MarkWilder68]

I think the race car Style with the rotary blades could do the trick

[@RevampedOutdoors]

I think you're right, the tracks would help keep it on a straight line and a lot more consistent. Just a pain to design lol.

[@jeherronjr]

Not really a video on how to make jig skirts but more on ‘How I made something to show everyone a video on how I made something’

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Good observation.

[@headcasebaits9011]

I wish I would have found your video a year ago

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Hopefully it still helps!

[@headcasebaits9011]

Yes sir. Now I need to learn vulcanizing or something like that
