Unless you have a good wire keeper on the jig, super glue gel definitely helps hold elaztech bodies up on the hook.

I personally use a super glue to glue all my jigs on hooks at home, until I break them off, then I don’t keep any in the boat cause it gets all over the place. I really like it, it helps me catch at least 2 to 3 times more fish per jig, than without it.

I use a lot of CrappieMagnets. To keep them straight, I glue up a bunch then wrap them in cling wrap. They are stored under the bow lid in the gutter.
When a tail gets too bad to use, a fresh one is tied on.

man that’s one great idea right there, don’t mind if I use that.

Danny I haven’t been using the cling wrap for long. My only concern is hooks rusting from our high humidity if left in the boat. Not sure they would rust so I’ve been taking out of boat when I get home just in case.
It does keep the baits pristine, though.

I wrap my hook shanks with unwaxed dental floss. ( I use a fly tying vise ). Then wet the dental floss with regular superglue, then thread the bait body on. ( nitrile gloves help in not gluing fingers.)
I usually do about a dozen baits at a time , 3-4 colors that I use the most. Done this way , the baits are very durable.
a bait lasts several trips , not several fish. I will usually hang and lose a bait before it gets tore up.
I keep 3-6 rods rigged and ready to go in the boat , If I want to change , colors , I just grab a different rod.
Works for me,
