take your chances running skirts I reckon -well worth it as u can get a billie on there as well - so what if u lose a bit of skirt, there is enough stores selling skirt material so u can fix it up
I run wire about 3 inches in front of head to hook then mono/carbon flouro leader

mack maulers from lively lures work well as hi speed mack tuna lures

 depends on what your paying for skirts...........if there cheepies (same price as hard bodies) who cares! if there expensive skirts , you only have your self to blame! you will find if htere soft headed skirts, they will maul the lure hears as well, which mean by by entire lure.
