Do you find the silicone bead on the ZWG hooks helpful in keeping the back (tail) half of the Jerk Shadz from sliding?

If so, is there a way to rig it similarly yourself for cheaper? 
 

If not, has anyone found a solution? I find myself having to adjust every cast when it bunches up. I superglue the nose end to keep that in place on the 4/0 gammy EWGs, would that work on rear end as well or would that interfere with hooksets?

You can try these, I'd go XL if on the back of the hook so it does move if needed on a hookset.  If you go on the front end, maybe a L.  It's a guess, I got them a few years ago and no longer need them for what I wanted and forgot what I learned.

I've been using these on paddletails, especially Keitechs which are softer rubber and tend to start sliding after catching a fish.

I think I saw a YT video that you can DIY these with a hole punch from plastic container type material.

I use size large bobber stops on thin wire hooks. I carry them anyway so why not use them. You have to use pliers and tact to get them on, but they do a great job.

I use this too. It's very effective. I have the smaller version.

 

 Have also tried some BKK hooks. They come with their own silicone keeper. Very nice.

 

I also have an assortment of JDM silicone stoppers.

I use theses heads for 2 1/2”-5” paddle tails. The lake I fish doesn’t have many snags, thus the exposed hook. I’ll lose the head and the bait will get torn up before it slides down the hook. Gave some to a couple of friends and they’re using them now
