Default Tube worms?

I got a few of these from my dad's tackle box and the bass love them. I dont know if it's the correct terminology but thats what he called them. These things are really old (20+ years) and he says they dont make them anymore. I think they are made of real rubber, 5", and hollow on the last half. The body is all black and has an egg sack. It has a neon orange trailers about a half inch long at the end.

Appearence wise, I would say it resembles the gambler giggy stick I found on bps's website - http://tinyurl.com/l7tvag - but that has a solid body and solid color throughout and is 7".

Has anyone heard of these or know where I might find something similar. The hollow last half and neon trailers are the key. Being so old and still usable, they are obviously pretty durable as well.

The nose; I clipped off because it was ate up from heavy use. The entire portion after the egg sac is hollow.

Sorry, I put the pics in my album. I embedded the pic links in my post but I think they're awaiting moderator approval.

They won't have a solid head like that, but the YUM Doozie is quite similar. It even has bright pink or chartreuse or blue tails. http://www.cabelas.com/prod-1/0049287122371a.shtml
