The Yamamoto Kut Tail Worm blends the best of two worlds—the subtle finesse of a straight-tail worm and the slight kick of a cut-tail design. This soft plastic worm is known for its deadly action on finesse rigs like drop shots, shakey heads, and weightless presentations. The soft, salt-impregnated body ensures a natural fall and a slight quiver that bass simply can't resist. Whether you’re targeting finicky pressured fish or looking to fill a limit when the bite is tough, the Kut Tail Worm consistently delivers results in clear and stained water alike.

Techniques:
The Kut Tail Worm excels when rigged on a drop shot or shakey head for a slow, methodical presentation. In ultra-clear water or high-pressure conditions, fish it weightless on a wacky or Texas rig to maximize its natural, fluttering action. Use lighter line and a slower cadence to let the worm do the work with its subtle, lifelike movements. It’s a year-round producer, particularly effective during the post-spawn and summer months when bass get finicky. This bait also works well around docks, brush piles, and weed edges.

Recommended Gear:
Reel: 6.2:1 to 7.1:1 gear ratio spinning reel
Rod: 6'10" to 7'2" Medium Light or Medium Power LUNKERSTICK with Fast action
Line: 6–10 lb test fluorocarbon (or braid to fluoro leader for spinning setups)

Our Take:
There’s a reason the Yamamoto Kut Tail Worm has been a staple in finesse anglers' boxes for years—it simply gets bites when nothing else will. The soft body composition gives it an irresistible shimmy on the fall, and the tapered tail design creates a slight but noticeable movement with even the lightest twitches. The durability is solid for a soft, salt-packed worm, although you’ll want to bring a few extras when the bite gets hot. It’s a fantastic choice for tournaments, fun fishing, or anytime you need a reliable bait to put fish in the boat under tough conditions. If you don't already have a pack tied on, you’re missing out.
