I am a CM fan for sure, but a man I met here in Louisiana swears by this jig and he couldn't find it online...anyway, I found it for him (don't know why he couldn't find it online) and it looks like a model Wally Marshall and others may have...just seeing if any of you are familiar with it and how it does...called a Bailey Magnet...

Ive seen and used different brands of the solid body with the umbrella style skirt.
Bass Pro used to call them Squirts i think, or Umbrella-somethings....but i know ive bought mine from there before among other places....but that exact brand you show here i have not seen before.
What makes those so nice as opposed to a hollow tube is the longevity of them. The tiny tubes are pretty thin, so if your jig is a little large, the tubes will rip easy, and the small little sandpaper teeth panfish have can shred hollow tubes where these solid bodies have a longer life span. And the skirts on these are nicer since they flair out some giving more action than a regular tube. They are a little heavier so you can shave a little off your jig head to slow the fall rate.
If im going to use a tube/umbrella style bait like these...my preference is the solid body.
