Gary Yamamoto Kut Tail Worm

The Kut Tail Worm features a distinctive cut or notched tail rather than a curly or ribbon-like action. This unique design creates a very subtle, straight-falling shimmy that triggers strikes from heavily pressured bass.

It is produced by Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, a highly respected fishing tackle company based in Palestine, Texas. The brand is legendary in the competitive bass fishing community for its soft plastics.

It is most popularly used on a Texas-rig or Carolina-rig for targeting bass in deeper water. The subtle action of the cut tail makes it especially effective in cold front conditions or clear water where fish are finicky.

Like most of Gary Yamamoto's soft plastics, the Kut Tail Worm is heavily infused with salt and a proprietary anise scent. This formula causes bass to hold onto the bait longer once they bite, giving anglers more time to set the hook.
