Kevin, actually I've dubbed mine the Heretic. BPS sells a 1" plastic curly tail grub. When rigged with a bead head on a #10 hook, on my waters here in Texas it is so deadly on bluegill and redears it should be outlawed. I use a tapered leader terminated with 4# test mono.

It holds up fine during casting. Just open your loop up some and strive for a smooth transition. Most of mine are destroyed by "short" strikes and wind up loosing their curl.
