Skeet,
Here's a pic and the story on the purple baits. Bought some split tail grubs years ago on Ebay and these were thrown in as extras. They stretch like a rubber band and won't break but the plastic is so dense that you cannot just slip a hook into them. I use a craft needle with the hook tied to a piece of mono & thread through towards the front to get the hook in. Can fish shallow and using a small foam strike indicator a few feet up to get casting distance. Small shot in between to get a bit deeper. You lose them before you will ever wear out. Durability off the charts, have never seen plastic like this before. Got 4 colors and the fish seem to like them, all that matters.
