I'm a solid Rooster tail man and usually order about 12 at a time but there are some pros and cons..

Pros..the hooks are hidden and this 3/8 th model looks like a helpless bait fish
........Cast a mile.
........Easily fished at any depth consistanlty..if your good{ -:
........catches any spieces that swims..
........Great for schooling fish..I once caught 23 bass in 15 minutes..it was every cast.
.......Great lure for white bass / Florida sunshine bass
Cons
.......the entire lure rotates causing terrible line kinks within 30 minutes...therefore i only use mine about 20 minutes and then use a different lure to straighten line.
......hooks are small and fish can easily shake hooks.{Bummer}
......white hackle darkens fast and the hairs rot/disappear fast as well { Bummer}
......can't be fished in weeds..or mucky bottom
......willow leaf tarnishes fast as well to a dull brown finish..

OVER ALL still one of my best go to lures..leaave new in the package until you are ready to fish.
