Tips for rigging pork frogs?

[Drakestar]

What tips do you have for rigging pork frogs onto your jig hooks? I'm always having issues getting the hook all the way through, or the bend of the hook makes the hole so wide that it slides around on the hook. Especially finding this with smaller/finesse jigs.


Tenderizing helps, but the chunks are still sliding around (and even turning) on my hook a bunch. I think there were special rubber bands available to keep it pinned, but I've never used them.


I'm fishing heavily stained cold water right now and the black pork trailer seems to help with bites. I'm not loving the rigging experience, tho.

I usually take some older plastic worms that I have and cut a small piece and put it on the jig hook shank back to bend. That will help from it sliding up.

It's been a long time, but Uncle Josh's used to be cut where you had to turn the pork rind 90 degrees from the barb to unhook it. This was still difficult, but doable. You might try the same thing for attaching it.
