If I may... Some of the legs might be a bit long. If you miss too many hookups, consider trimming them down a bit. I had the problem.

I use the skirts that fall off of my spinner baits all the time. The rubber bands that hold em on these days just dont last. The Louisiana off topic forum has a few jigs that I tied with leftover skirts. I tie lots of poppers using skirts too. Look up a pattern called "hot lips" for a fun and aerodynamic popper variation. Here is a saltwater variant: Hot Lips Fly - Fly Angler's OnLine "Fly Fishing the Salt - 25" The craft foam at Hobby Lobby is perfect for these flies and can make a great pencil popper when layered.
