Fishing with EVERY Size Rooster Tail?!?

[@anoldfart2]

My favorite Rooster Tail is the BumbleBee pattern in 1/8 th . Peace Brother 🕊️

[@nathanm2571]

Nice video! 1/16 for trout streams. 1/8 for creeks & ponds. Brown trout, black with silver blade, and chartreuse work the best for me.

[@jdp21211]

i like the white 1/8 oz

[@Kaelland]

Back when I used to go fishing all the time, I used to have really good luck with a red and black Rooster Tail. It's been long enough ago that I don't remember what weight it was. But it was a bass slayer in my uncle's farm pond.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Never tried red and black, but I may need to sometime. Thanks for watching!

[@bobgibbs4105]

I have a bunch of Roostertail’s in various sizes but don’t fish with them that often. White with a silver blade has probably been the best color and I’d go with a 1/16 oz. if I could only have one.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

A few people have said the same size and color. I think 1/16 white and silver may be the winner

[@moseskongi4746]

I been fishing for a couple decades and never caught a fish on a rooster tail, but then again, I only have like two of them and they lying around somewhere so it's not the little bastards have been in the water to catch me anything. I think they are overrated lures and not even the best spinners. Mepps is better

[@TheMrplayitsafe]

U can catch Bluegills on tiny roostertails super easy.

[@Brockleejohnson]

⁠yeah white and silver is the way to go I get the most bites on that color

[@moseskongi4746]

@@Brockleejohnson If you really want to catch more carp, I recommend you use leftover pickled pigs feet or the chitlins that be on the stove at big momma's house.

[@Westcoast_Fishing]

1/4 fire tiger and 1/2 ounce pink glitter is my go to for coho salmon. Awesome video

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I’ve caught fish on both of those colors!

[@nicksworld8940]

The way the rooster tails move in the water is mesmerizing. Fish can’t resist. I like 3/8 black

[@caedenw4]

for me the best is a 1/6th in fire tiger color for multispecies. have caught lots of bass, perch, and bluegill on that lure

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

That’s a good one! I’ve used it and caught a bunch on it

[@parallaxfree109]

Love a rooster tail, always catches fish. 1/16-1/6 is fav. Sizes to play. Black, Pink or White. I change out treble hooks with appropriate size siwash hooks, rarely loose a fish only trout when barb is smashed down (Rarely) no other species. And they don't get tangled in tackle box.

[@clangston3]

I recently fished with the same 3/8 oz Rooster Tail you used. I managed to catch a bass that was half the size of your first fish, a bass that probably my PB for the small neighborhood lake I was on, and a catfish. I have a buddy that loves using Rooster Tails and I can see why now.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Nice! They’re great lures!

3/8oz white flash is my go to. I’ve emptied the shelves at Walmart a few times when I find them. Late winter through mid spring around here, it’s the hot color when white bass are running.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I’ve gotten get up in TN when the white bass are running. I’ve never really caught any white bass

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

@@AaronsOutdoor1 John and I found a place this past winter that was loaded with them but has since been piled up with trash.

[@alfamaize]

Roostertails are my favorite lure. Recently, I've caught a lot on yellow 1/8. And the occasional yellow/green/red 1/8. I've tried quite a few other colors, but only yellow has gotten blue gill, bass (both large and small), and crappies.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

I used yellow the other day and caught a handful of different species!

[@alfamaize]

@@AaronsOutdoor1 I wish i knew why, but I'm just going with it. In the past (like in the early 1980's) I had a TON of success with rainbow trout with black. This was in the rockies. But now in the mid west, yellow?

[@Paul.Casteel]

The 1/16th caught big fish and castes good.

[@BeefyBites]

I have actually never had luck with a rooster tail. So, I have no favorite.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

You ought to give them another shot! They can work really well!

[@cheese1445]

Rooster tails is the only thing ive caught on, its all about switching the retrieve speeds and alternating speeds during the retrieve.

[@BeefyBites]

@cheese1445 tried that still no luck. :( Tried a few days after my post even. Tried a couple different colors even.

[@TheMrplayitsafe]

If u go to where a bunch of bluegills are and use a tiny roostertail, you should catch them on that, if interested in blues. Yellow and gold color works best.

[@TowTruckSmurf]

Throw in deep holes, and if you think you’re reeling in to slow, reel it even slower. I’ve caught quite a few species on them

[@espio23ify]

I oftentimes find Rooster Tails to be a little too finicky, like you have to yank them through the current or water just right to get them thumping. That being said, I still throw them in rivers, perfect spinner profile to get down and pull through a current nicely.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Yeah, sometimes they can be a little annoying when they aren’t spinning right, but they still catch a lot of fish!

[@Cornelius798]

I throw 1/6 ounce Rooster Tails. I switch out the treble with Owner # 4 single hooks. My favorite colors are firetiger/ gold blade, white/ silver blade, and pink, silver blade.

[@whatmynamemitch]

I caught 6 rainbows on 6 straight casts with the 1/6 neon green one today. That's my favorite.

That’s a good one! I caught my biggest rooster tail fish ever after filming this video on that exact one. It’ll be in an upcoming video. Thanks for subscribing!

[@rickprice407]

Although I like the Rooster Tail and have caught many, many bass and bream on them, I have to admit a preference to the Mepps Spinner. Pretty much the same but the blacks and yellows in the Mepps seem to do better and the 2 smallest ones work super well on a 7/8 flyrod.

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

The best one I've found is the trout mimic colors in 1/32nd - 1/16th for some reason they gut the bigger ones might be a skill issue on my part though

[@clydesharman2053]

Try a snagless sally. It’s basically a rooster tail with a single hook instead of a treble hook You can get those on tackle warehouse

Great video Aaron. I like the 1/16 oz white and silver but have never tried black but will now. I couldnt tell did those bass have big heads that didnt match the body size? I used to fish a pond that was full of bass with 5lb heads on 2lb bodies. Way over populated. God bless my friend keep it up.

I think my local pond has the same problem as yours.

But later that day a fisherman told me yeah something's wrong with the pond, he just didn't know what exactly.
