i wasn't suggesting using shrink tube? i was commenting on Ians rig that uses soft silicon. Also, it isn't trapping the hair against the hook if you look carefully at it.
When using the blowback as you suggest, what happens if the first fish that comes along blows it back without you pricking the fish? the rig isn't then efficient for the next fish - using a ring means it always "re-sets" itself.
