I seen Shaw Grigsby use what looked like dental rubber bands to secure the top of his plastics, so that on hook set it wouldn't "ball up" on the hook point, well he had this hard hollow tube, maybe 3-4 inches long, and he would double the rubber band around the hollow tube then put his worm inside of the tube and then slide the rubber band onto the worm, then insert the hook. It worked awesome from what I could tell on T.V. Anyways, does anyone know where to buy such a hollow tube, I could prob. find something to duplicate it at a hardware store?
