The tail action of a swimbait is only part of the entire desired action of a swimbait. The rest of the action is how the tail causes the body of the bait to "swim" back and forth like a real fish.

I've never tried it but I would imagine that cutting the bait to get the tail to move more erratically would take away from the body action. Does it?
