WON 3 small tournaments using Rooster Tail only..
3.bluegills.
4.lot's of Chain Pickeral
5.a few Crappie
6. Gar
7. Striped Bass ...Sunshine bass
The 2 fish posted were each caught on white Rooster tails..
The tilapia was a state record that was accidently eaten.[]
The catfish is 12 pounds.I noticed Rooster tails have gone up 150% in price this year..[&o]almost 4,00 a piece now.I use white 3/8th ounce..

"If you are targeting big bass, the rooster tail is not your friend".Indianahunter..
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.

RE: rooster tails
I once caught a 6.5 lb bass on an inch of nightcrawler while pan fishing here in Indiana. That equates to atleast a 9lber in Florida. Does that make it a good bass bait? Not to start an argument but what data? For the most part big baits catch big bass. It is the simple fact that larger bass don't waste as much energy chasing their food as their smaller counterparts. If you were a big fat 10lber would you eat a small inline spinner or would you go for the large crankbait/jig/spinner bait/etc... going past? All I'm saying is that if it was such a great bait it would be used more often. I'm also not a fan of the small treble hook they put on rooster tails. Easy to throw. This all being said if you want to give them a try they will probably catch a lot of smaller bass and the occasional larger bass but if you want to catch the big ones you might want to upgrade to bigger baits.
