I use the 1-1/2 foam pipe insulation that is popular for wrapping tied leaders. Usually this comes precut and glued, so I seal it and then slice it open with a knife or scissors.

I then insert the hook tip into the cut edge of the foam. The jigs are inside the piece of foam and the maribou or yarn does not get matted.

I use this same method for spoons and spinners.

It is quick and easy to pull a jig or spoon loose and tie it to your leader.

I cut these sections of foam about 4 to six inches long so they easily fit in a vest or tackle bag pocket.

Since I fish floats a lot, I pre-rig leader, jig, slinky, rigs wrap them around the float and carry them in small sandwich baggies. It is frequently faster to change out the whole rig than re-tie individual components.

For chums I find a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce leadhead tied with a short piece of cerise yarn and tipped with a small piece of prawn works well. Haven't tried it on silvers or steelhead.

It is a lot less expensive than commercially tied jigs.
