Default My skirt fell down

I hate it when my skirt falls down. I have come to the conclusion that bait
sents weaken the rubber band on my jigs and spinner baits. The problem I
have is trying to put another skirt on. I can never seem to get the rubber
band back on the jig head. When I do its taken at least 10 minutes than the
skirt is lop sided. Is there aan easy way to do this or a tool that may
help?

Just let the paint or lure dry, position the skirt to where you like/want it
to be, then put couple of drops of crazy glue where the band is and viola!
Wait a half hour and she's done. Fish on Dude. ;-)

Use a small plastic wire tie to keep the skirt in place, works on jigs
too.

One shortcut most jig and SB makers take is to use natural rubber skirt
bands on baits with silicone, lumaflex, etc skirts...thus guaranteeing that
the higher priced bait will fall apart right on schedule

This would be the method of choice for those who have problems with skirt
collars. Using wire without plastic would be even better.

Why would you think that wire would be better? Less bouyancy? Wrap
tighter?
