New to this and have a question. I have read that lots of people use "wire", when building skirts for bass jigs/spinner baits.

What kind of wire do you use and where do you get it????

I like copper wire to tie skirts onto the jig. You can purchase tie wire at Hobby Loby, Home Depo and Lowe's. You can order on line from Barlow/s and Lure Parts Online as well as many others. .020 is the size you want.

I order mine pre-cut in a tube of 50 wires here:

This is the process I use for my living rubber skirts. I carry 3 scents= Minnow, Night Crawler and for jig I have added Crayfish.
