Uhm... Bill's the one with the Tennesee hat on. That was Roland fishing with
Gary H.

The Kut-Tail has been around for years. It's not really a paddle tail at
all. The tail is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the typical twisty tail on a worm.

It has a nice, subtle action at slow speeds.

There's an alternate to the "official" explanation of the worm's origin, that
suggests that the originals were defects that the plastic didn't fill all the
way around the tail in the mold. Gary used the rejects himself, and liked
them so much they changed the mold so the tail would always pour that way.
But who knows? That story could be just cabin-fever story telling. Either
way, the worm works great, and the subtle action can be mimicked by trimming
back the tail on any worm with a twisty type tail. I've also done it with
grubs in the winter.
