Just went to sporting goods store and noticed a large display of Rooster Tail spinners. In my 50 years on the planet, I've never caught a fish on one. Has anyone? Mepps, panther martin, blue fox...yes. Zilch on a rooster tail.
Someone must be buying them, because they still make them.
I wish I had a quarter for every fish I've caught on Rooster Tails. They are my "go to" lure for creek fishing . Smallies and KY Bass like the smaller ones and I use larger ones for stripers and more open water. I never am without a few Rooster Tails. I usuallu use the White and Yellow ones, but in low light at dusk, Black and darker colors work best.
