Is there an easy way to put that rubber band on your jig that holds the skirt? I believe there is a tool out there for that but it is $$$.

Try a piece of small diameter tubing (aluminum work good) about half the length of your skirt material. Roll your collar onto the tube, place your skirt material in the tube and then roll the collar off of the tube on the shirt material.

I got that part down. I need to get it on the jig.

You should be able to just threat the skirt onto the hook just like you are putting on a plastic trailer. Then push the collar/skirt over the collar on the jig.

Try using a pair of long needle nosed pliers.

Put a real light coat of baby oil or worm oil on your hook and skirt collar. It'll slide right over the collar. I use silicone skirts and they don't stick together. I'm not sure how round rubber will react to the oil.

Just use petroleum jelly. add a little on the hook and it will slide on easy and it has not affect on rubber or silcone
