The Amazing Rooster Tail

Rooster Tail Know How

Without a doubt, the most popular way to fish a spinner is to employ the cast-and-retrieve method. It’s so easy, just tie a spinner on the end of your line, cast into a nearby body of water and reel/retrieve your spinner back to you. Strikes are easily identified but can, at times, be subtle as fish will take a spinner in a variety of ways; which might include arm-wrenching-strikes, swimming with the spinner while closing their mouth around it, or just stopping the blade from spinning. In all cases, it’s important to set the hook hard, yank back on your rod tip, when noticing any change in spinner action. Of course, you can use Rooster Tail when trolling or jigging too, which are fishing methods used by anglers having a boat.

Choosing Spinnier Sizes

The size/weight you choose depends on casting distance and size fish you’re after. In addition, the most productive size might be the one that is similar to the available forage. For panfish in lakes or trout in small streams a size 1/16 or 1/8 oz size is best. For larger water bodies, where casting distance will allow you to cover more water, try size 1/6 or ¼.

Spinner Color

If minnows are abundant, like shad or young trout or panfish try a silver, white, gray, yellow, blue, fire tiger, rainbow or brown trout color. When aquatic insects, amphibians (leech & frog) and bugs (grasshopper) are the main forage a black, brown, green or yellow color will often outperform. On dark days or when the water is turbid try fire tiger, chartreuse, bright pink, orange, yellow.
