Default RE: Rooster Tails

ORIGINAL: Chuck7

Only problem is their only good for one good hit then they don't spin for crap after that. I'm looking for a good spinner that will hold up better. Any advice?

I am a Rooster Tail man. It is my favorite all purpose lure.
Here is what I do to keep them spinning.

1. Make sure you are using a rod no greater than a medium. The lighter the rod..the better they work.

2. And of course make sure they are straight.

3. I'm sure you know when you start them off to give a good hard twitch like you are snatch fishing. Now the lighter the rod the less twitch you have to give them.

I like fishing light tackle with them gems.

I couldnt have said it better I love using rooster tails easy to cover alot of water and its comforting to know just about every specie will go for it. Ive caught just about every kind of fish imaginable on rooster tails the real odd ones were the dozens of catfish ive caught on them ive even caught drum and carp on them before.
