These dragon tails perform well in live bait setups. The wiggly action helps attract larger fish. I used the original size on a 1/0 hook and it held up well in saltwater conditions. Easy to cut to fit smaller hooks when needed.

Good quality and durable. The UV2 coating adds a nice finish. I paired them with a snake pattern and saw better bites than before. Slightly stiff at first, but settles in after a few casts.

Perfect for large rodent patterns. The original size fits my 1/0 hook perfectly. I cut one down to 3 inches for a smaller hook and it worked just as well. Strong and flexible.
