Yamamoto Cut Tail Worm

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:

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.

I used the cut tail last season with a whole lot of success. The one
thing I would add to Rich's description is that I noticed the cut tail
was heavy salted like a senko and in fact, falls like a senko. I
think part of the appeal was the horizontal fall with the tail
waggling. I fish it weightless on a spinning rod with 10 lb. Stren.

was it roland martin? if so i saw the same show. it looked like one giant
infomercial to me. but the striper action looked good except they were
small. still surfacing 5-8 pounders are a blast.

NO, No. Didn't you hear Roland call them "giant stripers?" Then again, he
called his first smallie a giant, and it wasn't 13" long. Then he called a
bunch of 10 inchers "real good fish."

Lol, you mean Roland doesn't fish in a pond full of hungry 6 pounders like
Bill Dance?

There are links to topo maps and aerial photos sites on my website. They
both start centered on Fishers Landing which is near Martinez Lake.

If you have a high speed interent connection its pretty decent. If using
dialup its slow, but they can be used.

Lannes at Sportsmen's Hide-A-Way mentioned to me when we went fishng a few
weeks ago that he has maps in the store also if you prefer a paper map.

Weird. I didnt intend to post that. In fact that was in reply to an e-mail
from somebody else entirely. I wonder what combination of wrong key strokes
I hit to make that happen.
