    Default An Alternative?


    Being a long time Rooster Tail fisherman I came up with these. This is an earlier version. Hidden in the tail is a stinger #14 treble. Had to add the stinger for trout fishing. Sometimes those trout like to nip at the feathers. I build them both with a single #6 hook and #6 with a small stinger treble or single # 8 octopus hook. I find Colorado blades easier to control around cover. On trout they will go fish for fish with a factory Rooster Tail. Wonder if the crappies and gills would suck them up. Mostly I make 1/16 oz and smaller.

    You bet. Just as soon as this holiday insanity clears. Last year was a loss due to health. Almost caught up on two years of spring chores. The rest of it I will introduce to Mr. Procrastination. Hoping this wind and rain settles down.

    They look nice and as long as the bait is small enough I feel sure gills will eat them.

    Very nice. I like a rooster tail for a search bait lately and I believe those would do well also. Fish pictures—-Fish pictures!!!

    I don't think there is any lure like a spinner. It shouts to fish to at least come take a close look. Maybe a little Slab Sauce will get them to tastes it a bit.

    Spinners work well on the move. The bigger they get, the faster the boat goes. An Alternative?
    Bass guys live em.
    I’ve been outfished ONE TIME, by my son. He was using a rooster tail.……
    The wind was 12mph...

    I used those Joe's flies spinners years ago for trout. After 3 fish the flies looked like they smashed on a windshield at 70 mph. A bit of super glue and some fine wire makes these a tad more durable than the asian models,
