That design seems to be called "Grub", "Grub tail", "Tail Grub". Quite a common design I believe, most softbait ranges should include them. I know Exude, Bozo, Berkley Powerbait, Youvella has them in their range. |

Have a look at these ones Sam.
They also do an 8" doubletail that looks interesting.

Those blue/white grubs are my go to trolling lure. have caught kingis albacore kahawai and skippies using those grubs. Have even caught kingis casting into buoys when they wouldn't take anything else we had. The grub is way underrated in my opinion. ------------- Legasea Legend, the rest of you should be too, $10 a month.  |

I have some of these...  Berkley 6" rattle snake. 7 in a pack including rattle insert Have had a few strikes from kings with em, they have a reall nice action, havnt really given them a real good go yet, can get around 6 colors. You can insert a rattle stick into the tail. Makes a bit of noise! $8.50 per pack |

| You find them the business Saltiga? I've tried a similar prototype and missed the bite with Snapper biting the tails off...so I've resisted putting one into the Catch range - maybe I should? What would be the best colour/combo. and length you reckon? |

Yes because the tail section is so thin, its easy for the fish to completely ruin your Grub with one bite. I use super durable Grubs which last and last it makes a big difference. In the photo below I am stertching the lure , there very hard to break. Yes I have given them the bite test with my own teeth
  Stertchy stretchy durability of Grub shape lures is important if you want them to last.

| are these all 9' |

Yes all 9" however I believe the 9" stamp printed on the packet is a bit deceiving. I have taken a photo of a 9" Grub next to a standard 5" Jerkshad so you can see what I mean.  |
