If they’re stocked trout, game on. No different than buying a couple trophy steers to slaughter at the county fair. I’d rather have a Mrs. Paul’s fish stick than a Fugkin rainbow trout. Ok I get it.... kinda like a high fence hunting operation..... my bad.... carry on ... internet hero's

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. Dayom. What lake and lure color, pls. 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… Thanks. I need to try a stocked lake. Never did any trout fishing. 🤮🤮fun to catch, ain’t worth a shiit to eat. Carry on

I actually had a garr hit one at Maddox Bay Arkansas years ago. I watched him do it right up close to the boat.

We crush peacock bass down here with them, along with road runners, beetle spins, crappie jigs, etc. Anything small, fast and shiny gets et.

I’ve caught quite a few trout with them and some sort of bass looking fish. And I suck at fishing so they can’t be all that bad.

What a coincidence...
75* today, too hot to hunt.
Hit the small creek that i grew up fishing on.
Big enough for paddlin a johnboat.
Mostly all i fish is rooster tails.
I’ll catch both bream and bass with them.
Usually bright colors as the water will be dingy at best.
4 bass today.
Throw em with a #20 plueger president and UL ugly stik.

They probably stock that lake every year with similar for a put and take fishery. Some "experts" here obviously don't know chit or they would see that too, or they are just jealous because they have never caught even one that big. Good for you rgx, hope they tasted great. Bill

Oh and for the OP, I've lost count of the fish of different species I've caught on Rooster Tails.

They seem to have attracted me more than the fish. The most productive spinners seem to be plain jane brass blue fox for me. In any case, the only freshwater salmonids I eat these days are Kokanee and Brookies.

I think I caught a handful of grayling on them, but I haven't flung hardware at the waters since I learned to use a flyrod.

Doubt id do much eating them as ive had smaller ones caught by a friend. He didn't cornmeal fry them so i was still hungry for fried fish the next day. I needed some smallish white bass, black bass, crappie, catfish or speckled trout rolled in buttermilk and cornmeal and fried.

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).

Rooster tails are manufactured here about thirty miles from me. At least that was where they started. My older sister worked for them in the early years. Back then the employees got first pick of the blems or stuff that didn't make the grade.
That girl brought home handfuls of lures.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Many, many fishes on yellow and white spotted rooster tails! Many more on purple beetlespins.
