    Again, great idea! Is that a wire loop on the tails? Does it slip over the collar barb?

    Interesting idea, so how does the tail stay on the hook ?

    The wire tail loop slips over the barb keeper. The body keeps the loop/tail in place and the tail helps keep the body snug against the jig head

    Where do you get the tubes?

    A big cost advantage to these jigs is the multiplying factor, 10 different color bodies and 10 different color/material tails = 100 jig combinations with a 10 jig material amount. Add just 2 more = 144 combinations and so on.
