Ok, what is specail about the cut tail. I'm kickingback int he living
room
watching Gary fish with Bill Dance on Lake Powell, and Bill was carrying
on
about the cut tial being the hottest new thing. It looks a lot like the
old
original paddle tail worms to me.

I wouldn't put too much stock into what Bill says in the way of promoting
his fishing partner's products. That said, I just started using them last
year and they quickly became a high-confidence lure. Unlike an old
paddletail, the tail on these is slightly asymetrical, whatever the
significance of that might be. Here's a tiny bit of history of the lure,
from GY's site:
