Hi Danny
The answer to your problem is to wind some fishing line or cotton along the bait after you have slip it on to the jig
First start off by threading the line through the eye of the jig winding it down the body on a 45 degree angle till you get to the end and then back to the head.
what you should end up with is a criss cross pattern running along the bait you then tie the end of the line back through the eye of the jig.
The best thing to use is cotton ( red if you got it) as fishing line often cuts into the bait making a mess if your pillies are a bit soft.
I have found that some salted pilchards stay firm on the jig thus avoiding the need to tie the bait on.
hope this helps
