For you guys that throw alot of cheaper made jigs, you know the ones that have a rubber collar to hold the skirt on, Heres what Ive been doing,for a couple years now, I go to A C Moore and pick up a roll of craft wire, real thin, I wrap the wire around the skirt and cut the rubber skirt sleeve off, Its amazing how long they will last, But, you get what you pay for, so dont expect the hooks to last very long Wink

It also works great on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, And I feel confident at night when you cant even see 1inch in front of you, Nothing like throwing a bait at night and realizing after a few cast, that you are just throwing a naked bait,
