Very realistic and will not tear apart. You will have this forever and it won't change its look or shape. Made out of parachute chord and stretchy durable unbearable silicone skirt material. Leadheads are hidden inside which will convince the fish it's real. I can put eyes and legs on em for a buck. No eyes no legs they are still real enough looking. Weights are 1/8 and 1/16 and 3 1/2 inches in length. Save time resigning rubber tubes all day long and do yourself a favor and buy a custom durable one that looks more natural and will last a lifetime
