Quick take
Durable soft plastic strips for trailing behind jigs and spinnerbaits or rigging standalone.
These 5-inch split-tail strips come eight to a container in Ghost White. They are a synthetic, squid-scented, UV-enhanced trailer that threads onto jigs, spinnerbaits and bucktails. Anglers who like pork-style trailers can use them as a reusable swap that keeps its shape.
