Looks awesome
Folks, you know I have been playing around for about a year on how to make hard body lures lures from balloons. https://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-...e-eat-balloon/
Well, I am excited to show you the next progression on my adventures. I am using that same process and adding to it to make hard body tube jig lures. The body does not come away from the jig head, and you still get the tail action of a tube lure. I welcome your comments.

I will try and get a better photo this afternoon when the sun is up. The first photo is not very good to me. I was rushing to go help someone.

Looks like they should have great action. Be interesting to see how they look as they fall through the water.

They look fantastic, Mike I’m sure they will catch fish
I really like them Bob because the Crappie cannot pull the tube off the hook!!!! Shoot me a PM if you have any hollow body tube defect throw aways. I can always cut off the tube head and use the tail for this action. I was playing around with the concept last week and realized just how good of a marriage it would be to put that tail on my balloon hard body meal worms and red worms. I light bulb went off in my head that said to marry the two ideas. VOILA! A hard body tube concept. (Hint: Use waterproof Loctite to attach the tail to the hard body.) I will give you a fair price for some throw away hollow tubes.
I could also use the nails in a board concept you showed me to make hollow tubes. Spray the nails with PAM. Dip them in hot plastisol a few times to create a hollow tube.
Then use a razor blade to cut the tail. Thanks.
