I use the tiny ones for Crappies and such but recently bought some big ones. Half ounce and up and man I love em. Anything that swims and has a mouth will eat them. Ive caught LMB, SMB, Walleye, Pickerel, Musky, and even some Carp on them. The big ones really put out a lot of thump and vibration and flash. Theyre part of my emergency kit, the stuff I use when fishing is slow. So, anyone love Rooster Tails?

I personally dont. However the only times i used in-line spinner baits is stream teout fishing and the spinner of choice goes to panther martin over roostertails each time.

They were one of the first lures I can remember using along with a road runner and beetle spin and original rapala. I rarely bass fish with them anymore and if I do it's normally a Mepp's spinner. They seem to attract larger bass for me. Mainly I use them in one creek for wipers when the water is high because they aren't effected much by the moving water like some other baits are.

I like the rooster tails (design) the least out of inlines, now the blue fox bells and panther martins work much better when going through obstructions

I personally have never used one for bass, but I have a teammate who does really well with them.

Great bait...especially for river fishing.

I like all in line spinners. Rooster Tail just happen to be my favorite.

Anyone ever use Joe's Flies spinners? Theyre awesome as well.

thats all i troll with on lead core most of time time for trout, i use my own flys on it though.. the best combo i use right now has been the gold blade with a smelt pattern on there... sometimes i switch it up to a big ugly or just snap on the hook and night crawler or minnow.

Caught a nice 4lb catfish today on a 1/2 ounce Rooster. Black with a nickel blade. Lure just hit the water and he snagged it.

I love em they to are in my panic box its all I used when a kid hitting the river on my way home from school id catch tons of small mouth on em. I prefer the Bluefox personally though but I have almost every one under the sun every corner store here sells them as the Oak is a major trout fisherie that people come from all over to fish so panther martins are popular here.

Some roostertails are fine. Others stink-they don't seem to ever want to spin. I never have that problem with mepps or panther martins.

I kill SM in my local river on rooster tails. In fact I've caught my pb SM on an inline rooster tail. I love using the older Shyster brand over Worden's, P. Martin or Mepp's.
