Yours will struggle and send out vibrations different from the rest of the school. Also that is why you pitch your bait to the outside of the school. Also your bait will be heavier and swim towards the bottom of the school where predators swim around looking for wounded easier to catch baits.

Think i should cut the tails right before they bleed?

I have seen that work well on snapper and snook.

I've seen some people cut the dorsal fin off so that way the bait will stay alive and but look injured or just out of place with the other baits.
