Naked Bait Co Skirt Expander
by Jeff Bruhl

One thing that is great about fishing draw tournaments is learning something new. It does not matter which end of the boat you fish from because every partner has something to teach you. This was my experience in a recent BASS Open at Lake Texoma. My partner for a day was Eric Sheley, a Naked Bait Co (www.nakedbaitco.com) pro team member. He made the time to show me a new product, a Naked Bait Co Skirt Expander. This simple tool is great for making a skirt. It was simple to use, needed no tools, and is an asset in any tackle box.

Blake Muhlenbruck, president and founder of the company, experienced a work related accident. The love of fishing and the need for easy to use fishing tools hatched the idea of the skirt expander. The expander opens and closes with one hand and requires no special tools to make a skirt. Simply add a skirt collar to the tool, expand the collar, add your favorite material, and close the expander. Quick and simple, a new skirt comes out of the expander.
The expander is small so it stores in most tackle boxes. Add some precut skirt material and your ready to create new skirt just about anywhere. This is great for a tournament angler because adapting the skirt to the water color will put more fish in the boat. Special colored skirts are not an issue with the expander. Need a flash of blue or touch of pink, the tool makes the skirts you need in just a few seconds. Building your own skirts is not only fun but very rewarding when you hit the right combo.

Naked Bait Co has other products for landing a bucket mouth. Slip floats that hold a skirt are great for changing the look of a frog, lizard, or other plastic. Supplies of skirt material are also available online. Skirt boxes, skirt kits, and hats are few more items available online. While at the website, check out F.F.C.D. - Fishing the Future - Catching the Dream. This is an excellent program to help kids learn more about fishing and the underwater world.
Fishing a tournament is not only a fun way to spend a weekend but it brings new friendships and knowledge to the angler with an open mind. Naked Bait Co Skirt Expander made it easier for me to make my own skirts and catch a few fish. Be sure to check out this amazing new product. It beats every skirt making tool I have ever used. Thanks Blake!
