I find that the skirt collar position on the skirt tabs length definitely changes the presentation. I like and this is just a personal preference to place the tab 40/60 along the length with the 40% side facing the hook and the 60% length facing the head. I use a lot of different styles of trailers on my spinnerbaits, usually grubs and want a shorter body coverage with the longer outside trailing skirt fibers blended back over to form a tapered effect to the start of the grub tail. 50/50 is ok but just looks to me to be less realistic as a bait fish imitation. A 30/70 balance will give a longer tail/body contour without that spikey flared out head look. Try just moving the collar position for different effects and technics. I too wire tie to give endurance to the skirt as I find collars dry up and come off ,get tooth cut too often loosing your skirt material way before the bait is worn out or bit off by toothy critter's before its time.
