Slimers jig trailer

[Quillback]

Picked up a jar of these trailers from TW a couple of months ago.  I thought they would make a great trailer for winter jig fishing.  Anyway, tried them out when I got them, threaded them on the jig hook, tried just poking the hook through once and let It hang from the bend, no matter what I did, the trailer would come off before I got the jig worked back to the boat.  And it wasn't because of a bite.  They look great, have good action, real soft, but just will not stay on the hook - but - maybe there is some way to rig them that they will stay on?  I sent an email to slimers - no reply.

Thought I would appeal to the great minds on OA to see if any of you had fished these, or had any rigging ideas.  Could be something obvious that I am missing.

I use these to hold real night crawlers on a Texas rig hook.
