Hey Guys! Today I will be sharing a lure that will never let you down. I have so many of these in my tackle backpack. They’re the only lure I have fished with and never not caught fish on… A ROOSTER TAIL!
From the middle of summer to the coldest day of winter, you can always count on this simple and cheap lure. And all it is is a rooster tail! I know that most of you know what it is, but you probably do not understand how truly great this simple lure is. I have talked about rooster tails in a few other blogs, and even on my YouTube channel. Rooster Tails are almost always less than four dollars. Sometimes one can be found for under a dollar. However, I recommend buying one over a dollar, because quality ones last longer.
Where To Buy A Rooster Tail: Walmart, Amazon, online stores, Academy, Dicks Sporting Goods, Cabela’s, Bass Pro, and even a lot of gas stations.
What A Rooster Tail Is: A Rooster Tail is a eye attached to a short metal stick, which is connected to a trouble hook. By the eye where you tie the line, there is a swivel that rotates around the metal stick. To make the swivel spin around the stick, there is a shiny blade on the end of the swivel. When casted out and retrieved, the blade spins around the metal stick and hook. Most rooster tails also have a colorful skirt of feathers around the trouble hook, to hide it and add extra color.
How To Retrieve A Rooster Tail: Simply cast it out, and right when it goes under water, give it a slight jerk. Then begin reeling it in at a medium pace (retrieve it quicker in shallow waters to prevent getting hung on the bottom).
What I Have Caught On A Rooster Tail: Blue Gill, Bass, Green Sun Fish, All other species of Sun Fish, Crappie and even Cat Fish!
