How do you cut the collar off? I tried, probably wasn't using the proper tool. I used the mono thinking it would be secured better. Have you lost any swivels tying with regular thread?
The thread you tie with shouldn't make a difference in you loosing the jig or any part of it, but hang ups will take some no matter what you tie it with.
