Skirted tubes

[Jig Man]

I just got a bunch of stuff from a friend.  In one of the boxes was a bunch of Twin Ts skirts.  I am wanting to put some on tubes for jig insert fishing but not having any luck.  Trig will be easy just slide up the line.  

I have tried a candle flame and super glue and neither worked.   Any ideas?

try this.........

heat up a pancake griddle on the stove.

play with the temp..

if to hot it will smoke bad,,

if not hot enough it will not melt..

try apx.  300.. at 1st.

use the ehaust fan..!!!

hold both items on the griddle til they start to melt

then quickly press together,, hold 10 seconds.

should work sweet.

Jeff thanks.  I used an old hot plate out in the garage and made up some.  It worked like a charm.  Now if the bass like them I'm in business.

GMAN I tried that with my donothin's and I could never get them to work. I sent some of them to Mark in CT. He used his little welder and made them two color.

I have no idea about these things but have hundreds to the Double Ts in my goody bag from Bigfoot.  But what the heck, if a hula grub will work why won't a hula tube be deadly.

Lowe's and Home Depot carry a soldering pen that uses a little butane torch.  They come with a bunch of different attachments, one is a blade that is used for cutting/melting through synthetic rope.  They're about 15$ and refillable.  They heat up fast and are useful for on water repairs/creations as they are windproof.  

Obviously a little overkill for a home remedy, but still, a great little tool.
