How should skirt durability be specified on an order?
Short answer
Specify material and strand geometry rather than a claim. Vinyl is described as compressing more uniformly under attack to expose the hook set, producing a heavier smoke trail and resisting snags better than a slick squid skirt, while silicone remains the material most lures are sold with today.
In detail
Put skirt material, strand width, strand count, skirt length and the pack format on the purchase order, and agree a production sample. Storage advice for the finished lure belongs with the product too, because a skirt that stiffens in a warehouse is a durability complaint.
The numbers behind this answer
| Channel | Format it buys | What it demands |
|---|---|---|
| Boat and charter supply | Bulk replacement skirts and spare heads in the colors the spread already runs | Durability across a season, because a torn skirt is what forces a charter boat to reorder mid-season |
