Good use of a grub body that had its tail pinch off

Andy - how do you get the grub section onto your jig?

Andy - how do you get the grub section onto your jig?

On these I just cut the body how I wanted then threaded it on like you normally would. Then I get the thread started back towards the bend. Tie in your tail like you normally would leaving a little of the butt end over the grub. I pull the grub towards the head with right hand and use left to make the rest of the wraps on the tail. once it is tied i put a little glue over the threads and push the grub back into place the pull the front back and glue as well. Fatman shared a great way (easier way) to make these on another post I did about these type jigs. I'm not totally sure how to add links on here but...

You can use a threading needle to pull the material through the body before you put it on the hook. A dab of superglue at the head or you can do a tread wrap once placed on the hook to secure it.

I have an injection mold to do these. With it the tail gets tied on and then the jig gets placed in the mold. Now shoot the body color.
