Found one of my old curly tail plastics today, looking in an old box. Really liked them, but haven't seen any in a while.
They were moulded with a hole in the front end, for a weighted hook, and the hook eye was forced up thru the bait to hold it on the hook. They were real supple and had good action at slow speed. Does anyone know the name or if they are still made. Sorry don't do PICS.
I use to have some that may have been them but have no idea about the name.
Take it to Green Top & see if one of their salesmen (or a customer) can ID it for you.
Need a pic. If it was made in the last 120 years, DonG, Bill or Andy Clayton will know.
Bass Pro Shops made a paddletail body with a jighead cavity, but there was no need to punch the eye through plastic because the jighead dropped into the cavity (stretching the opening) from above. Either BPS or Cabelas had a house-brand twister tail with a similar cavity about 20 years ago. I haven't seen them since. If you are looking for a twister-tail with a molded-in jighead, google Storm Wildeye Curly Tail minnow. (I haven't used one.)
