Who hasn't had their grub or other plastic slide down on the jig after a few fish were caught? For years I put up with it but found a way to prevent it and preserve the lure.
24g coated floral arrangement wire is sold everywhere as are wire cutters and small pliers:

Wrap it around the line tie post once and cut one side off close to it.

It never bothers the fish and can be used with any size jig hook and plastic lure.
