Super User roadwarrior Posted April 8, 2010 Super User Posted April 8, 2010 The season is upon us. Pickwick is on fire and the weapons of choice are lipless cranks, jerkbaits and buzzbaits. This weekend I plan to focus on the Rage Tail Smokin' Rooster! When "anything works" it's a great time to try lures you haven't mastered. Confidence is hard to come by and now is the time to step up and do a little experimentation...If you already own it, why not fish it? 8-) Quote
Gangley Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 great advice. I have never fished a 10 inch worm until yesterday. I never had confidence that something that big would catch anything on the waters I fish, and yesterday i caught a really nice bass with one. The fishing is good right now, everybody should try something new and see what happens, you never know if that new lure will be your new confidence bait until you give it a whirl. Quote
endless Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Nice post, and I'm with you. I just started using lipless cranks. I landed one dink of the crank at this small pond and manage to also hook a salamander some how. That pond was filled with those. I also got me my first pack of smokin rooster. I can't yet to try out. How is the rage hawg? Quote

endless Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks I'm going to have to get me a pack and give them a try. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted April 8, 2010 Super User Posted April 8, 2010 I like the Rooster a lot. Been pitching it around here quite a bit. While we are by no means on fire, it's starting to heat up. Quote
Stringjam Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Tossed an * last weekend with some very good success. I've always been a fan of DT hula grubs, but the * is a much bulkier variation of the theme. Great action, and the fish dig it. Quote
BassThumb Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Great advice, roadwarrior. Perfect time to learn that jig. Quote
David Rangel Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Nice Advic!!!, ..... this situations could be too good opportunity to finish your two or three last lures of that old pack!!!! David Quote
Big-O Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 This weekend I plan to focus on the Rage Tail Smokin' Rooster! 8-) Hey RW, If the Smokin Rooster loses his Tail....don't throw him away : Just remove it completely, this style was recently named SMOKIN' HEN by one of our TEAMRAGETAIL Members....makes a short profile bait with wild action. I use a q-tip and tip the flange points on side wings when it's a Hen....Fish are crazy about it and rarely miss on hook up's Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
