Thread: Tails

I found these at the Dollar Tree and cut them off a child's toy and tied some jigs with them and they worked. Material is really stretchy. Watched a recent video with Richard Gene using a soft plastic bait with a tail that looks just like these. I have several bags of these and I would like to have some soft plastics with these. I'm looking for someone willing to pour some plastics for me using these tails. I will mail them to you if anyone is interested. Think these tails would be killer but not sure if they would work.

I have used superglue in the past to glue two different baits together. Also was trying to make tails that I can tie on a jig, head and use hackle on the head with the problem is that I would cut through the plastic with the thread because I was wrapping too tightly, but then I got to thinking maybe a person could use a little bit of superglue and tie lightly and that would hold the tales that you got from the toy department in either Walmart or someplace else, I’ve seen them a lot of them in Walmart when I was in China, I bought a few that were a long sneaky looking things, but was the same material is the ball type word very inexpensive.
