I have a friend that swears by them. Never seen him catch a fish on one.

Rooster tails are my favorite spinner. Caught all species of trout on 'em including the occasional lake trout in the spring when they're shallow, smallmouth, largemouth, spotted bass, white bass, crappie, bream, and saltwater fish too. Barracuda and a couple others. I've even caught a few catfish on 'em.
They're a little more fragile than Mepps and others, the wire shaft is thin and it can get bent. But they seem to spin easier with less speed than the others, which is why I like 'em. Bingo. Same here , I’ve used them since I was 10 or so

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. These were caught on rooster tails this year in NM. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/k0h4LRT/AECE9383-3290-4-F90-B94-C-3-D7512-D5-DF70.jpg) Wow.... those are toads.... did you really need to kill them? Tough to eat them alive.

Eating trophy fish... really? Eat brookies, planter rainbows... long john silvers etc.... most people will never catch 1 rainbow that size in a lifetimes of trout fishing.

Be nice to hit Groundhog Res in Col when up there hunting. Sometimes TPandW stocks trout in small city lakes in Texas in the spring. 1/8th oz black and golds were the ticket that day…. Pretty sure they were stocked, meat was white instead of red…

I’ve caught tons on them. Bass, bluegill, walleye, pike, If I could only have 3 lures in my tackle box, that would be one of them.

Any "go to" colors I should try for trout? I was informed by a local in NM there‘s only 2 colors… Black and gold and Black and silver…rest was fluff…Gold was for the middle of the day, silver was for the early and late hours.
