Someone must be buying them, because they still make them.


DITTO. Don't remember ever catching anything on a rooster tail, though I used to try them often on trout before switching to something that works, like Panther Martin, Mepps, Blue Fox or homemade spinners. A friend does well with them but I obviously don't have the knack for rooster tails because I have fished beside him and gotten skunked while using them.
