GYCB Kut Tail Worm ? 2025
bugman reply :
I love GYCB baits and have had much luck with senkos, Ikas, grubs and kreatures. I have never fised the Kut Tail Worm and would appreciate any tips on this bait. I see they make 4" thru 6.5" Kut Tails. What size do you use the most?
tbird reply :
For some reason the 4" kut tail worm is a killer on a drop shot rig ,I have used other kinds of worms at the same spot where I am catching fish with to no avail. Go Figure. Just my 2 cents.
Triton21 reply :
Also used them on a shakey head with good results.

I fish the 6 1/2" Kut-Tail, T-rigged with a bead, unpegged. This bait is my favorite worm in deeper water, especially on vertical structure (docks and timber). I have had some success with the bait weightless in grass, too.
bugman reply :
Thanks RW,
I think I will give the T-rigged 6.5" a try in a few marinas that have nice coontail beds in about 15' of water.

The Big Kahuna Cut Tail worm is one of my go-to baits. I fish it T-rigged, with a 5/0 EWG hook, 1/16oz Ultra Steel weight, and an Ultra Steel clicker. I'll go up in wieght as the target range gets deeper, or the wind demands it. I always have one of these rigged and ready to go.
This rig, and the reverse rigged Fat Ika, are my one-two punch for deeper water. I've never tried a Cut Tail weightless; it sounds like I should.
I've never bought, or used, the smaller Cut Tails.
Cheers,
GK

I gotta say the 4 inch is an awsome on a drop shot set up.
CK14 reply :
you can't keep the smallies around here away from the 3.5"-5" cut tails in color 240...
Triton9 reply :
i use all the sizes but the 5'' seems to work best for me on drop shots or shakey heads. they are great worms in finesse situations.
guest reply :
Just wondering what makes a kut tail better than say a typical straight-tail worm? Does it have a different action or something?
Just one of those baits that doesn't look that special, kind of like a curl tail worm that's been mutilated, and I guess that's why I never tried it. Maybe I should.
bugman reply :
From what I have been told it has the action between a senko and a curl tail.
roadwarrior reply :
The tail waves which creates a somewhat unique presentation for a worm.
Fishin Phil reply :
Cut tails and smallies are made for each other.

There's probably a more recent thread on these, but since search still doesn't like three letter words, this is the one I found. Some good info, but, I want more....Toxic?
I have a variety of these, but used them successfully exactly once....dead sticking in 11 feet of water on hard bottom...but, I imagine most any worm would have worked in that exact situation.
Do you use GYCB Kut Tails? What're your tips, tricks and secrets?

I have started using the 6.XX" ones a lot this spring. Before I was fishing them weightless and didn't see much difference between them and a senko. But once I started adding a 1/16oz un-pregged sinker in-front of the plastic I really started having luck with them. They still fall pretty slowly, but more nose-down and the tail does a very gentle sway as it falls. I have been doing great with it in light pads on days when it's too windy for a trickworm. I retrieve it with a series of short hops, tugging it through the pads as needed.
I have some of the 4" ones and use them on a DS every once and a while, but they have never been anything special rigged that way for me. They work nicely on a 2/0 Slider head though and I think the rest of my stash of them is going to be used up that way.

I do use them in certain situations. I prefer the Pro Senko in most of those same situations (dropshot. shakeyhead, ned or on a ball head) My problem is that they get bit too well. Fish have a tendency to bite the tail off. I do swim the bigger versions and use them on a c-rig. Great bait though.
Dirtyeggroll reply :
I use the 7” Neko rigged in hot post-spawn when conditions are tough.
Bluebasser86 reply :
They're one of the only baits I can get bit on a dropshot consistently. I've also had a lot of luck with them on a very light T-rig on a spinning rod when the bite is tough.
Munkin reply :
I user some of them in the smaller size 3-4" to fish for keepers in some ultra clear waters for certain tournaments.

Try the Shad Shape Worm. I was never a believer because to me it is too small. I was proven very, very wrong.

I have heard that the 6.5" Kut Tail is more popular in Japan than the Senko. I Rig on a shaky head.
blckshirt98 reply :
3.5"-5" kut tail is one of my go-to dropshot baits, Baby Bass is my color of choice. When Outlet Bait was clearing out the Kinami kut tails I stocked up on a lifetime supply, they always get bit.

Picked up enough in Natural Shad to last me at least 20 years myself.

That’s where I got mine from. I have a lot of them in back w/red flake and pearl and a few in pumpkin. They were like a buck or so a pack and I could not resist. I am almost out of the pumpkin ones, curious to see if the black and pearl ones produce as well.
Rodney Smith reply :
I really like the 6.5 on a Neko rig post spawn. The head is perfect for using a screw. Makes a nice flat head and catches a lot of fish.

I use the 4” & 5” versions. I’m geared a little smaller because of being a river rat for smallies. Light Texas Rigging and Shotting them.
There are a lot of good out-tail worms out there. I’ve used a few brands that I really like them but I really like the GY Brand because I can get just the basic black, gp, pumpkinseed, watermelon etc. Others have a special color twist to them. Not that that’s a bad thing. Sometimes basic is better.
