My Version of the Punch Skirt

[BigBassin144]

So I had posted some pics of fish I had caught on my "punch skirt" which in this thread I will call the Rigging Skirt, cause it can be used for so much more then punching.

I've tried a couple ways so far, but my favorite and most productive so far is the Skirted T-rig.

I start this out with a sinker stop (any will work, I use the BPS ones cause I can get them locally and they're cheap).

Then I slide on my bullet weight. In this one, I'm using a 3/16, but an 1/8oz would have been fine.

Then slide on the rigging skirt and tie on a hook. On this rig I'm using a 5/0 Owner Twistlock hook with a Yamamoto Swimming Senko in watermelon green pumpkin.

I fish this just like a would a normal t-rig, and even swim a little like a swimjig.





A few problems with the rigging skirt are that it is just a jig skirt, so the line is hard to get through it. I ended up sticking the hook through and catching the barb on a loop of line and pulling it through. Another problem is since it's not molded to a bead like the real Punch Skirt, the silicone material tends to bunch up to one side instead of staying evenly distributed. Now that I know they work good, I may add a couple real punch skirts on to my my next TW order.
