Going through my tackle box, came across some rooster tails. Can't remember the last time I threw one. Just curious on the the thoughts of rooster tails. Good, bad or indifferent. Ready...go!

Happy angling.

Very good in rivers , throw upstream and try different retrieves. Caught some really nice bass using them on the San Gabriel.

I'm serious about this - On the way down to the Guadalupe or Comal rivers, we stop at Walmart and buy a cheap snoopy rod, some decent 10lb test, and several rooster tails in different colors. We float down the river in the regular tubes and fish when we get bored and catch the hell outta bass, bluegill, and everything else in those rivers on roostertails.

I've caught bass, bluegill, crappie, white bass, and gaspergou on them. I always keep one tied on my creek rod.

Rumor has it, KVD used the rooster tail to win all those years. Then live TV became common and he was forced to use the sponsors lures. Then the downward spiral began…Yep, he was really known as “Rooster Tail Kevin” amongst his friends.
