    Tying silicone layers on jigs.

    I've tied many jigs with rubber and made many silicone skirts with the bands. Now want to try tying on the silicone layers. Are there any tricks to doing that or is it mostly a matter of practice? Thanks.

    I've done the same. What works for me is using the band slipping it on the jig head then tying it. Then just slip off the band. A little time consuming but after some practice you'll be able to tie it without the band. Good luck.

    What do you use to tie it on the jig? And can you reccomend a website or something to show me how to tie it? New to this... Thanks!
