There has been a trend in the last 5 or so years (maybe longer) to reduce the number of skirt strands on jigs. The Dirks jig would probably be the best example. I’m talking less than 20 strands, more like 12-15. It definitely makes the jig more finesse and adds more of a subtle look. It also kind of hides a wire weed guard, which is another good feature. I still don’t get those telephone pole fiber weedguards.
