Tying Jigs???

What do you use to tye your silicon/rubber skirts with. I have been using size D nylon thread and it is ok, but breaks when you want to apply some pressure.

If I were to use wire to tye my jigs, how would I finish tying it, to make it stay on???

Thanks

ewgsuperline,
I use nylon upholstery thread available at wally world fabric section. Very strong, rot resistant and comes in a whole bunch of colors. I finish it off with a drop of superglue on the knot. Works for me.

Re: Tying Jigs???

Flat unwaxed dental floss has worked for me for years. It stacks nicely, won't rot and is very strong.
Mint flavored or not is strictly a personal preference.
