Trailer Hitch is the real deal. Unless the claws get bitten off you can use the same trailer all day. Worth their weight in gold, especially if you skip a lot of jigs.

You are making your jigs, the keepers are installed prior to adding the skirt and should work for you.

Take a look at Rebard hooks that use a piece of shrink sleeping cut 45 degrees on 1 end ( 1" piece cut in half at 45 = 2 sleeves 1/2"long). The angle cut makes a good barb when the 1/8" D sleeve is shrunk onto the hook shank...works good to hold soft plastics. Add to you jigs, leave about 1/8" between the end of the lead collar facing the jig head.

Oldham's jigs have trailer hitch keepers, thread the trailer on the hook, 2-3 turns & done.
