Quick take
Synthetic eel tail strips for spinnerbaits, jigs and rigs that are reusable and durable.
This is a pack of eight eel-tail jig strips in Ghost White, each 5.5 inches long. The flexible synthetic strip can ride behind spinnerbaits, jigs and rigs, adding a tail that moves as you retrieve. A pale white color suits anglers who like a natural, baitfish look.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
