The only time I see tail bit off is when sunfish are biting thin straight tail grubs. Other tail designs - no, including paddle tails and curl tails.
For over 35 years I only used Mr Twister curl tails or Sassy Shad boot-tail grubs, but when I started getting into experimenting with different tail designs, found that straight tail designs outperformed in most situations and seasons - even under the ice. (See recent post.)
Retrieves at the steady pace those two tail design require are great for active fish, but I found that when I assume fish are just hanging out regardless the depth, I do so much better!
The Beetle Spin idea I posted recently believe it or not gives a straight tail grub a nice action from the spinning blade.
