Wire wrapping jig/spinnerbait skirts??

[BassOrBlast]

Need how-to's on wire-wrapping jig/sbait skirts on baits currently with rubber collars??
Collars are deteriorating, skirts shifting, etc.
What type wire (stainless, silver-plated, copper), what gauge, what wrap(twisted wire, slip-loop), any other suggestions? What is a good twist/ slip-loop??
Pics appreciated!

I've bought wire-wrapped baits from several sponsors and from here-to-fore will only buy wire or kevlar thread wrapped skirts, BUT i still have plenty of baits that I would like to salvage---pls help!
Thax, B-O-B

I got mine a wal-mart back in the flower section I beleive it is a 24 guage with a plastic coating

I use 24 guage also, I know some have recommended 22 guage but it seems to heavy for me

Thanks guys! How do you wrap the wire?? Do you make a few turns over the skirt and just twist the wire around itself and then clip ends??
I was chatting w/ a local guy who makes some jigs for personal use, he talked about some kind of "slip-loop knot" to do his wraps, but i couldn't follow his description....
Any tips on starting/finishing the wrap itself? Thax!

Only wrap twice. Cross the tag ends, pull hard and twist just to snug. Cut extra wire off and bend down.

Thanks Mike, that's the way I had planned to do it until this guy started talking about the' slip-loop' thing. Thought maybe i was missing out on some secret---
it ain't rocket surgery after all

I looked and it is a 22 gauge wire. Like mike said one loop and twist
