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 Blood Red, each 5.5 inches long. They are a flexible synthetic trailer that you can thread onto spinnerbaits, bucktail jigs, rigs and tubes. A bold red color gives anglers a high-visibility option for stained water.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
