How do you guys get your pork frogs to stay in place on your jigs? I'm using Uncle Josh #11 pork frogs.

When I use pork I always place a piece of a Yamamoto 5" grub on the hook shank. Length depends on the length of the hook shank. With the jig hanging vertical so the pork is completely vertical I like the space between the grub and pork to be about 1/4".

The piece of grub prevents the pork from sliding up the hook, provides more bulk, and slows the fall rate.

Get a cheap paper hole punch at Job Lots. Take a plastic coffee can lid and punch out a bunch of circles. Put your pork on the hook, followed by one of this small circles of plastics and your ready to go.

I use this tip for trailers on spinnerbaite and buzzbaits also. Only difference is I put one on each side of the trailer to keep it from going up the hook or down the hook. The dead grub is also a great way with a small punched piece of coffee can lid on top.

Good ideas guys, I will give them a shot. I slide the pork frog clear up to the top of the hook right under the jighead, and it slides down toward the hook gap. But these things might prevent that.

When you use pork its is suppose to rest where the shank meets the hook gap. The area of the shank between the pork and the jig head is where you slide the piece of grub.

Here's a picture:
