Growing up, one of my favorite lures was a Rooster Tail....although it wasn't the lure I used the most. As kids, we always fished the local beaver dam ponds, which had a lot of underwater brush and snags. I simply couldn't afford to lose a Rooster Tail, so I primarily used black/yellow Beetle Spins...it took a little more work to get one of those hung up, and when you did, they were only $0.69/each (versus $2 for the Roosters).
I swam out and got my hooks back. I went fishing with 1 hook and brought it back or a story of the one that got away. Now I got tackle like I'm obsessed and I don't think I have more fun. Maybe a little more fun.
