Tanan Tail Soft Bait – 50mm and 65mm PVC Worm Set For Carp and Bass

Tanan Tail soft bait – proper little confidence worm

Some days the fish want big swimbaits and noisy topwater chaos. Other days, they sulk on the bottom and only move for something that looks like an easy snack. That is when a Tanan Tail soft bait suddenly becomes your best mate.

This little PVC worm is sold as a neat bulk set in two sizes: 50mm with 20 pieces in the pack and 65mm with 10 pieces. The listing calls it a soft bait Tanan-Tail, made from artificial PVC and aimed at carp and bass, but it is just as at home with perch and other predators that enjoy small mouthfuls. It sits in the soft plastic Worms category and comes in a whole club’s worth of colours labelled A through U plus a Clear option, so you can mess about with natural or bright without changing style.

You are not buying one fancy showpiece here. You are buying a box of workhorses. The Tanan Tail soft bait is the sort of subtle little worm you quietly thread on a light jig head or small hook, swing out along the bank and then just let it do its thing while you sip coffee and pretend you are thinking very deep tactical thoughts.

Why you will love this Tanan Tail soft bait

• Two sensible sizes: 50mm for ultra finesse and numbers, 65mm when you want a slightly bigger silhouette without going bulky.
• Bulk packs: 20 pieces in 50mm and 10 pieces in 65mm mean you can fish confidently around snags without crying every time you lose one.
• Durable PVC body: the Tanan Tail soft bait uses artificial PVC so it can cope with repeated bites and re-rigging.
• Plenty of colour options: labelled A, A1, B, B-1 all the way through to U and Clear, so you can cover everything from natural to properly loud.
• Versatile worm profile: slim soft bait body with a simple tail that works for carp, bass and a pile of other species on different rigs.
• Perfect for light finesse rigs: ideal on small jig heads, drop shot, free rig, Texas style, or just a simple hook and split shot.
• Lake friendly: the product is listed for lake position, which is exactly where most of us spend our weekends trying to look like we know what we are doing.
• Beginner friendly but not “toy” tackle: if you can cast, count down and lift the rod, you can fish a Tanan Tail soft bait and catch.

How to fish the Tanan Tail soft bait

Soft plastic worms are one of the most reliable ways to get bites when the going is tough. Bass pros and writers never shut up about them for a reason. Wired2Fish talk about finesse worm rigs being one of the best ways to build confidence when the bite is grim, while Bassmaster’s rigging lessons show just how many ways you can dress a little worm up.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} The Tanan Tail soft bait slots straight into that world in a smaller, easy to handle package.

1. Light jig head and slow crawl

1. Thread the Tanan Tail soft bait straight onto a small jig head, hook point exiting near the mid point.
2. Cast it slightly past your target zone – weed edges, rock, the side of a drop or a carp patrol line.
3. Let it sink to the bottom on a semi slack line, counting it down so you get a feel for the depth.
4. Lift the rod tip slowly to drag it a little, then drop the tip and let it settle again.
5. Repeat all the way back, watching for tiny line twitches and “mushy” weight as fish pick it up.

Reddit threads on soft plastics are full of anglers saying exactly this – fish with the rod, not the reel, and move a worm like the Tanan Tail soft bait slowly enough that even lazy fish can be bothered to eat it.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

2. Tiny Texas rig for cover

1. Slide a small bullet weight onto your line, tie on a light worm hook and Texas rig the Tanan Tail soft bait so it is weedless.
2. Cast around branches, reeds and other snaggy bits where carp and bass nose about.
3. Let it fall on a tight line, then hop or drag it just enough to shake the tail and kick up a puff of silt.
4. Pause often. Most bites on a light Texas rig come when the bait is sitting still, not when you are yanking it along.

Bassmaster’s guides on Texas rigs make the same point – this method shines when you want to get a small soft plastic into cover without constantly hanging up.:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} A Tanan Tail soft bait is perfect for that “small meal in a daft place” look.

3. Drop shot nibble for stubborn fish

1. Tie a drop shot hook about 30–45cm up from a small drop shot weight.
2. Nose hook the Tanan Tail soft bait so it hangs horizontally.
3. Lower it down next to vertical cover or cast it out and gently shake the slack line.
4. Let the sinker sit on the bottom while the worm just quivers in place, waving at anything nearby.

Drop shot rigs with soft worms are a staple across finesse articles from Bassmaster and others, especially when fish are pinned tight to the bottom or the pressure is high.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} The small profile of a Tanan Tail soft bait makes it a natural candidate.

4. Free rig and subtle glide

If you like a bit of movement freedom, the modern free rig gives soft baits like the Tanan Tail soft bait a lovely, natural glide as the weight slides away from the bait on the fall. Wired2Fish have pushed this style hard in recent years as a way to let worms and creatures fall more erratically.:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

• Run your line through a ringed weight, tie on a small hook and rig the worm straight.
• Cast out, let the weight hit bottom and then gently lift and drop to make the bait wander behind it.

When to use the Tanan Tail soft bait

Short answer: whenever fish are not exactly climbing the rod but you know they are there. Longer answer:

• Cold or clear water: when fish are wary, a small Tanan Tail soft bait looks like a snack, not a threat. Field and Stream talk about subtle soft plastics being the better choice in clear ponds, and this fits that bill nicely.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• High pressure days: after a weekend of boat traffic and noisy lures, a quiet little worm can be the only thing they will still eat.
• Post front sulks: when a weather front has just rolled through and everything feels “off”, a Tanan Tail soft bait dragged slowly along bottom is often the hero.
• Mixed species sessions: if you want something that can catch carp, bass and the odd bonus perch without swapping lures constantly, this is ideal.
• Learning finesse: it is almost a training tool for new anglers – you can feel bottom, bites and line control developing with every cast.

Does the Tanan Tail soft bait actually catch fish?

Soft plastics have been a go-to for decades because they simply work. Outdoor Life and Field and Stream both point out that worms, grubs and stick baits are some of the most consistently effective lures for bass in almost any conditions.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6} BassResource and Bassmaster add that subtle soft plastics are a key part of any sensible lure line-up, especially around vegetation and structure.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

On top of that, external listings for this exact Tanan Tail soft bait model include reviews from anglers catching perch, stripers and other species on the same PVC worm design, often commenting that it works brilliantly on light jig heads and free rigs.:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} In other words, you are not gambling on a gimmick. You are buying a style that has already been bent by plenty of people elsewhere.

Gear pairing and internal links

You do not need fancy kit to fish a Tanan Tail soft bait, but having the right basics makes life easier:

• Rod: a light or medium light spinning rod is perfect for 50mm and 65mm worms and gives you enough feel to detect shy bites.
• Reel: a small spinning reel with a tidy drag is ideal for both carp and bass work.
• Line: thin braid with a fluorocarbon leader lets you feel every knock, or you can run straight fluorocarbon if you prefer simplicity.
