Rubber Coated Bucktails

[Bucktail]

Here's a novel idea.  These bucktails have like little rubber condoms on the heads, I presume to protect it from chipping and stuff.

I acquired them recently in a tackle trade.  I've never seen them before and I'm curious to know if any of you have. 

Looking for a name/manufacturer etc.

Thanks,
Bob

OK Bob, I guess it's time we had this talk....
Condoms are used so the girl doesn't get pregnant and so neither party gets sores.  

On a more serious note....I saw some bucktails yesterday that had a lead core and then a plastic body over them.  The idea being to get a larger profile with a lighter weight jig.  
So I guess the condom could be for durability and /or larger profile.

Or, So they won't re-produce in your tackle box

Always practice safe bucktailing...

I guess now we just call them buck 'cause with them condoms they get no tail...

Well, thanks y'all.  I think.

This thread has potential for going on a long long time. Thanks, Bob

With the cost of tackle these days, I try to keep the rubbers off in the hopes of finding baby bucktails the next time I open the box.
