WELCOME TO MY NEW STORE: BASS BOSS BAIT COMPANY STOREWE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING OUR MERCHANDISE FROM OUR OLD STORE TO THE NEW STORE.
YOU ARE PURCHASING THE LONG MISSING LIVING RUBBER USED IN THE 1970'S AND 80'S BECAUSE OF ITS HIGH BOYANCY. THIS LIVING RUBBER IS 1 INCH WIDE AND CUT IN 1 FOOT LENGTH FOR THE SAMPLE PACK AND 10 FOOT LENGTHS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL COLOR. YOU CAN ORDER CUSTOM MADE SKIRT COLORS FROM THOSE COLORS LISTED HERE OR MESSAGE US AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. WE ALSO HAVE A LISTING FOR CUSTOM MADE SKIRTS IN OUR STORE WITH EXAMPLES OF SKIRTS THAT WE HAVE CUSTOM MADE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
WE ARE ALSO OFFERING TO MAKE YOUR SKIRTS FOR YOU. IF YOU WANT A SINGLE COLOR OR A MULTICOLOR SKIRT, WE CAN MAKE THEM FOR YOU. IF YOU PICK THE "WE WILL MAKE SKIRTS FOR YOU" OPTION, THEN MESSAGE US ABOUT YOUR COLOR AND LENGTH REQUEST. 10 STANDARD 5 INCH LONG SKIRTS WILL COST .99 AND WILL SHIP FREE USPS PACKAGE WITH TRACKING NUMBER. YOU WILL HAVE TO ALLOW A COUPLE DAYS TO ALLOW US TIME TO MAKE THEM.
WE HAVE SOME LIMITED STOCK OF THE COLOR ORANGE THAT YOU CAN ORDER BY MESSAGING US AND WILL OFFER IT SOON. IF YOU WANT LONGER CONTINUOUS LENGTH, THEN SEND US A MESSAGE AND WE CAN CUT IT TO YOUR DESIRED LENGTH. WE MADE IT EASY TO ORDER THE COLORS YOU WANT AND ALSO GIVE DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH LIVE RUBBER, THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING HOW TO USE IT. I WILL BRIEFLY EXPLAIN BELOW HOW I USE IT.
THE OLD WAY WAS TO CUT A 5 TO 6 INCH LENGTH OF RUBBER FROM YOUR SUPPLY OF RUBBER AND FOLD IT IN HALF. THEN TAKE THE FOLDED END AND WRAP IT AROUND THE BASE OF YOUR FISHING LURE. NOW TAKE A FINE COPPER WIRE OR WAXED STRING AND TIE THE FOLDED SECTION TO THE FISHING LURE. I USE A WIRE AND A SET OF PLIERS TO PULL THE WIRE AND THEN TWIST THE WRAP TIGHT. WAXED STRING IS A LITTLE TRICKIER. A FASTER WAY IS ALSO TO USE A MICRO-ZIP TIE INSTEAD OF WIRE OR STRING. AFTER YOU COMPLETE YOUR WRAP, YOU NOW HAVE 2 OR MORE SECTIONS OF RUBBER STICKING OUT OF YOUR FISHING LURE. PLACE THE HOOK OF THE FISHING LURE IN A SMALL VICE TO HOLD IT SOLID. REAL SOLID, WITH THE BAIT HEAD POINTING UP. THEN TAKE THE FREE END OF EACH SECTION AT A TIME AND STRETCH IT OUT AS FAR AS YOU CAN. TAKE A VERY SHARP SET OF SCISSORS AND VERY SLOWLY CUT THE RUBBER CLOSE TO YOUR FINGERS. CONTINUE TO PULL AS YOU CUT. MOST OF THE GOOD RUBBER WILL SEPARATE INTO THE 40 INDIVIDUAL RUBBER LEGS FOR EACH HALF, GIVING YOU 80 LEGS TOTAL. YOU CAN MIX COLORS BY STRIPPING THE INDIVIDUAL FLAT RUBBER INTO SHORTER WIDTH SECTIONS.
SOME OF THE LIVE RUBBER IS VERY STUBBORN AND WILL NOT CUT AND SEPARATE EASILY. I TAKE A COUPLE PAIRS OF TWEEZERS AND INDIVIDUALLY SEPARATE THE STRANDS FOR THE LENGTH THAT I WANT AND THEN USE STANDARD BANDING AND HOLE-IN-ONE TECHNIQUES TO MAKE MY SKIRTS. THAT IS WHY WHEN YOU SEE LIVING RUBBER SKIRTS FOR SALE ON EBAY, THEY WILL BE PRICED MUCH HIGHER THAN SILICONE SKIRTS BECAUSE OF THE LABOR INVOLVED.
