LOL I've lost count of the hawgs I've caught using a 1/4 ounce Rooster Tail..This lady below did ok too..My data proves RoosterTails do catch big bass...It's not my opinion it's a fact..
Nikki Pederson, St. James, MO, caught this 9-pound monster on a black and orange broken
Rooster Tail at Little Prairie Lake, near Rolla, MO in early March of 2007. It was 26-inch long, with a 17-inch girth.
The key ..fish deep, fish just slow enough turn the willow leaf..to mimick a lone lost bait fish lost in the middle...It's a reaction lure and I've had plenty of reaction using this lure..
and not all pros share what they use in catching their fish..We had a fellow down here win a pro tourny on Lake Toho..He was our coaches father..he secretly told me the lure..It was a Mann's Little George..nothing else would work.
