I suspect that is why they split the tails on Trout Magnets and Beetle Spins. This small diameter pretty much has to be poured on a hook to end up looking right.

BPS carries trout Magnets also and they are in town. I didn't see this color but I should check on line (ship to store is free). The one I have is smaller diameter than the magnet which does make it more limber.

Something I've found is the trout magnets are kinda stiff. Your other one looks "rubbery," like it might have a more lifelike presentation.

After taking that last picture of the Trout Magnet for size reference, it got slipped on a hook and put away in the fly box instead of being returned to the spin tackle box it came out of.

Another picture, next to a Trout Magnet (In a different color; just for size reference). Pretty close.

I think I may try to find the Trout Magnets. If I order them direct, shipping will double the price. I can get 8 with 2 1/64 oz dart heads for under $2 from Amazon as an add on with free shipping. I just have to remember to do that next time I need to order something.

Closest thing I see commonly available is the Trout Magnet in that color:

I would check the Kelly's website. May not be a perfect match but close. I've used htese in the past in about 3 inch pre rigged size

That's a good question; I don't see these everywhere but I did buy it over the counter. I see the  ones that are slightly bigger and more of a poured foam that is formed around a long hook all over the place but I don't do as good with those. I will keep an eye out; I need to get more for myself. I think I got them in a pack of 3 or  so with short leaders attached (like it is part of a rig) that I cut off.

Is it a local thing, where you live?
Can it be purchased by the rest of us?
