The jigs with the rattle bands that are not wire tied....How durable are the skirts and rattles not being wire tied?

I have around a dozen jigs in my box from about 3 yrs ago still holding up the same from when I made them. I have yet to have one fail.

Thanks for the quick response. If the sale is going on till the 31st I will pick up a few.

Any time! The sale will definitely still be going on next week.

I honestly think hand tying is overhyped, I will wire tie for some people but my personal jigs and spinnerbaits use a skirt collar. I will say back in the late 80's to about the mid 90's the skirt collars dry rotted really fast, I remember buying strike king jigs at a sale in a department store around '92 and when I opened the pack up the jig head came out and all the skirt strands stayed in the box. Now it has changed, since 2000 or so the skirt collars have improved a ton, and I have boxes of old jigs with the eyes gone and paint scraped up and the skirt faded but the skirt collar is still holding.

But what you are missing is the infinite combinations of colors and designs when you hand tie. Not to mention the added bonus of being able to bulk up your skirts, or for that matter slim them down. I will never buy another "mass produced" jig the rest of my life!

I make a ton of different color combos, in fact I've been making my own spinnerbaits and jigs for over 15 years and I can make all the same color combo as a hand tie, the only difference is using a collar instead of wire. I think you misunderstood, what I meant was I can make a skirt using a collar instead of tying them with wire. For some of my customers I will hand tie skirts, it isn't any harder than making them with a collar, it just take a few seconds more. When I make a bunch of jigs I'll make the skirts up and if someone wants a hand tied skirt I'll simply slide the skirt on the jig with the collar and then make 1 complete wrap with my wire, slide the collar off and finish it up, simple.

I understand. But you do have to admit that wire/thread will last a lot longer than silicone or rubber bands in the long run! The probability of you losing it before this happens is great, but I do have some OLD ones!

Here is a skirted version with my newest color Alimony.
