Re: Whats the diff.
King Bait,
I tie all my wire baits unless otherwise requested. The reasons I like it this way are. The skirt does not slide down the shaft of the hook even after application of scent oil. I can also get better patterns that don't rotate, if I put some accent color on the belly it stays on the belly. Plus 12-15 wraps of threat is cheaper than the skirt bands. I use nylon upholstery thread and seal the knots with super glue and it does not dry out and crack like the bands.
Some companies claim that the bands allow you to make quick color changes, but I figure thatif you are going to change the skirt you might as well change the jig cause its probably time to re-tie anyway. After saying all that you'll probably loose the jig before the skirt becomes an issue.
