What do they use to make the legs on the ant jigs. I have been using rubber skirt material but the fish bite the legs off.
Heres the jig, maybe someone will know . I don't want the ones that are made like a collar and that slip over the jig. I have been dotting with super glue and it works. Just wondering if anyone else had an idea?Posted Image

You can use the silicone skirt tabs. They work just fine. If you have round rubber skirts available they may give you a little better action. The trick is to tie them on with thread. A couple of wraps,tie it off, followed by a drop of D2t and you will not lose the legs. I don't think your cyanoacrylate will hold for long.

Thread and a drop of super glue will hold.

I actually tie the rubber legs to the jig and ad a drop of glue. I never had a problem in the past but thought they made something else
