If this is the jig you have, this is how I tie tubesets with it. Hope this helps.

I like the yellow ebay jigs too, here is a link to the one I bought.

I only tie with cotton utility twine to tie. Never had any issues with this method. Constrictor knot and a little prestretch on tubes and I get as long a band life as anyone else I have heard from. Can not speak to the use of the ribbon, maybe someone with more experience can chime in? I have used cuffs which requires a certain type of tool (you can make one). I will post the link I learned from as soon as I find it The cuff method lasts just as long as tied sets and only requires a bit of tubing, pouch and the aforementioned tool.

Here is a link to the official tool it can be found cheaper or you can fashion one from stiff wire. I have a pictorial of how to use it on my other hard drive apparently so I will dig it out and post it as soon as I can. There are other ways to do basically the same thing with forceps and even needle nose pliers.
