Re-Skirt Your Lures for a Fraction of a New One

Trolling lure skirts fade, tear, and wear out. Buying a whole new lure every time is expensive. A pair of replacement skirts for $9.99 refreshes your favorite lure head and puts it back in the rotation. You can also mix colors to create custom combinations that nobody else is running.

These skirts are UV-enhanced, meaning they absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it as visible wavelengths. Fish can detect UV light, so UV-enhanced skirts appear brighter and more visible than standard skirts, especially at depth where natural light fades.

UV Enhancement

UV-enhanced material absorbs ultraviolet light and re-emits it as visible glow. Fish detect UV wavelengths, making these skirts more visible at depth and in low-light conditions than standard skirts.

Soft Stretch Material

The material stretches enough to slip over lure heads easily but recovers to hold snugly. No wrestling with stiff skirts that tear when you try to install them.

Multiple Color Options

Choose from a range of proven trolling colors. Mix and match inner and outer skirts to create custom combinations. Two skirts per pack gives you an inner and outer for one lure.

How to Re-Skirt a Trolling Lure

  1. Remove the old skirt by sliding it off the lure head
  2. Clean the lure head with fresh water
  3. Stretch the new inner skirt over the head and seat it against the shoulder
  4. Add the outer skirt in a contrasting color on top
  5. Adjust both skirts so the tentacles hang evenly

What lure heads do these fit? +
Any lure head with a 15/32" or smaller post. The stretchy material accommodates a range of head sizes. Measure your lure head post diameter before ordering. Browse our trolling lures for compatible heads.
Can I use one as an inner and one as an outer? +
Yes. That is the standard two-skirt setup for most trolling lures. Pick contrasting colors for the inner and outer to create flash and depth. Our lure guide covers skirt combos.
What makes UV-enhanced skirts better? +
Fish can detect ultraviolet light. UV-enhanced materials glow brighter at depth where natural light fades. This gives your lure more visibility and pulling power. See our lure types guide.
How do I install replacement skirts? +
Stretch the skirt over the lure head and pull it down until the shoulder seats against the head. Use a small amount of dish soap as lubricant if needed. See all our lure making supplies.
What colors work for tuna? +
Blue/white, green/yellow, and pink/white are classic tuna combinations. Purple also produces well. Experiment to find what works on your local grounds. Our tuna guide has more.
Do you have larger skirts? +
Yes. We carry 9" octopus skirts for bigger lure heads and larger profiles. Match skirt size to your lure head for the best action. Browse our lure making supplies.
