Rooster Tail Pond Fishing MADNESS 

Dudes caught more bass in one setting than I have ever in my life...

The rooster tail gets you some nice variety too. I was fishing for white perch and bass and I hooked up on and landed a 6 pound catfish.

One spring evening in May many moons ago, I caught an 8 lb. 10 oz. largemouth in a north eastern Kansas county lake using a black Rooster Tail. A friend netted it for me despite the influence of many malt beverages. It's a killer on all species in this neck of the woods; the lure, not the beer.

I love rooster tail lures, they’ll catch just about anything. In my neck of the woods, I’ve caught largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, redbreast and pumpkinseed sunfish, and brook trout.

I love them I've been catching a lot of them down here in these canals around lake Okeechobee lots of fish everywhere 🎣❤️🙏

Rooster tails are awesome! I have caught soooo many fish them. I do have one of those crazy fishing stories too. My grandpa lived in Tennessee before he passed. So I obviously went there to fish A LOT as a kid growing up. He lived by a golf course that was by Douglas Lake and there was this pond kinda sorta off of the course and was by the lake. So, we fished there too. Other than the fact I caught lots of bass in it.... my mother decided she wanted to go fishing. She grabbed this little poll and put a rooster tail on it. A fish hit it.... a BIG one. She fought that sucker for hours until the fish got tired. She reeled it in and I'm telling ya.... that was THE biggest catfish I have ever seen. If you look at a standard fridge, I would say, in length, it would cover about 70-75% of that fridge. And it was in a pond. Nuts lol

Caught my first bass today and I was stoked! Funny thing is that I bought all these bass lures and couldn’t catch anything but then I catch one on an old rooster tail that I use for rivers😂

Hard to beat a rooster tail! So much fun.

Use these all the time. Affordable and effective. Easy to fish. Fire tiger 1/4 ounce is my go to

My 9 yr old son & I wade fished the upper Bourbeuse river here in MO last Saturday and caught so many I lost count. He stopped at 40 just for him. Caught endless sunfish, smallmouth, spots and I lost about a 15-16" after fighting him about 10 seconds . Most fun day of fishing I can remember in a long while! My brother & I grew up using roosters for creek/stream fishing and I swear they catch more than anything else. Maybe not always the biggest, but if you want non stop action, they are hard to beat.

Nice video. Roostertails are one of my top lures for panfish. Always have a couple in my bag with me.

Cant go wrong with a Rooster Tail, I have a spot where I catch White Bass from late Spring right through the fall, and 95 percent of my casts are made with an 1/8th ounce Rooster Tail, Gets them every time!!

Rooster tails are my #1 lure. Theyll catch anything. 1/16 oz black glitter is my favorite color for panfish/bass while I'm on my kayak in the Ocmulgee river

Great video I never tried the rooster tail before I definitely will have to use after seen this video you’re slaying those bass on that lure

The best lure man has ever made 😂I catch more fish this way than anything else for sure

I’ve caught more fish on Rooster Tail’s than any other bait over the last 40+ years. 2nd best would be a Mepps spinner.

my dad taught me about rooster tail when i was young, great video.

The first lure I ever got was a rooster tail. And to this day I still use them and they alway work.

Great video, I have used the rooster tail many times and it always works.

That’s an awesome day right there!!

Rooster Tail, mi favorito de toda mi vida. Excelente video, gracias me gustó mucho. Felicidades.

On days where the bass bite is slow,I often tie on a rooster tail with the intent of catching some crappies or bluegills.Seems to never disappoint me.I occasionally will get surprised by a bass or two.Best lure ever to teach youngsters how to catch fish on artificials.

Hello ! I have the 6’6” st.croix triumph spinning rod and the 2500D- XH Dawia tatula Lt spinning reel. Which size and the name of fishing line and the size rooster tail you recommend me to buy to use to catch them fish like you did in this RU-vid video please. Thank you so much 🙏🙏

All my catches this summer was on a ned rig strike king rage craws and yums but I’ll try the rooster tails tomorrow they seem to want smaller lures now

Those bass hit that rooster tail hard

Frank's favorite reel;Quantum gold light weight. It's like 750$for Xmas.

I haven’t had no luck with rooster tails I have 5 of them in my tackle box I’ll give them a shot tomorrow

Awesome video and glad to see you fishing with rooster tails. I never fish with them till I try one and was catching fish like you one right after another. I also never fish with beetle spins and my dad gave me one and told me that they catch big fish to well I didnt believe him but tried it and caught my p.b. bass on a green and black one it was a 4 pounder so now I fish with them lol. But I live on a lake and I started my three kids out on them two lures and they got hooked they love to fish and glad I found them baits cause they are great for kids to start out on. But want to say seen you on hook set are free and glad you joined the channel they are a great group of people's in there and so awesome to we all like the same thing and thats fishing just like your channel. But great videos and love the channel glad I seen you on John's channel and joined your channel cant get enough.

I'm up here in the PNW and I've seen guys catch some big coho with the pink rooster tails (1/4 oz I believe). I've recently added them along with spinners and while I've yet to catch anything with them I enjoy the fact that they are lures and not organic. Hopefully I will have the same luck as you do in the video, I mainly fish for trout (and hopefully for some salmon)

The treble hook is the best thing about a rooster tail, no one says it though. Good info

Always like it when your videos pop up in the inbox.... keep the videos comin!!

Buen video, las cucharillas Rooster tail siempre son una garantía para la pesca de lobinas y truchas, buen tip, gracias.

Do you even crank it? Looks like you just cast it and let it sink. Do you get it snagged easy?

caught my first bass on a Walmart rusted rooster tail today! any recommendations for a light weight combo that's short ? the ponds and lakes around me are covered in brush so its hard to get a cast out without a boat or going in deep

Do you use split shots to get the lures out farther because when I was first learning how to fish I used to put 3 medium sized split shots on depending on how heavy the rooster tail or crank bait was. Now I usually put 1 or 2 especially if I’m fishing the river but I’ve never really asked anyone

I’m new to fishing and new to rooster tails - can you explain why you switches from the 1/16th to 1/4th oz rooster tail? Seemed to be equally effective. Great video!

This is my favorite reel. $450.00. Quantum reel. Light weight reel. Crappie game fish; pan fish.

Great stuff. I have been getting more into rooster tails recently.

Dammit my boy, great video!!! So much action

Golden fishing real quatumn

Hello ! What the name and size of that st.croix spinning rod that you are using with that 1/16 oz rooster tail please.🙏

Thats freakin awesome! Reminds me of my spot on Lanier! Except i catch that many fish in two weeks🤣 really good job you absolutely slayed those bass

Wow that's is a lot of Bass. Great fishing ponds. Really fun video. 😊

That was a good catch bro. Thanks for your video.keep it up bro

Hello ! What was the name and size of that spinning rod and spinning reel and the name and size of that fishing line you was using in this RU-vid video with that rooster tail 1/4oz that you was fishing with please.🙏🙏

Do you rig them direct to the main line or off a snap swivel or something else?! I find sometimes mine get all sorts of tangled up on themselves when I cast then I'm just retrieving a ball of BS!! haha

Hey bro I love the vids and I am a new subscriber. Keep it up my dude

This is the owner of Tiffany. My favorite reel. Golden Quatumn open face reel. Behind the glass case at Walmart. Can be ordered. I payed over $350 for Xmas one time. It has an pulse bearing.(as you can see).

I can’t get a rooster tail to cast far enough at all. What setup do I need?

The small rooster tail you used I cought a 22 inch bass and a 20 inch bass on lol I swear by rooster tails.

He's just catching the same fish over and over again 💯

Did you have any added weight on ur line or just the rooster tail?

Caught more fish with a Rooster tail than any other lure. I even caught a catfish with one.

Hello ! What size that st. croix triumph spinning rod is that you are used in this RU-vid video only please.🙏

Hey man, I’m just getting into trout fishing and I picked up a few stuff today. What line are you using ? Also do you use leader line ? I picked up a Trilene XL smooth casting. I’m working with a Stradic 1000 and TFO ultra light rod 6’6 “. Any advise would help!! Thanks in advance. I got a few rooster tails and spoons.

I don’t know what it is about that lure but my brother and I when we were younger fished ponds and creeks all the time. Go to lure was a 3/4 brass orange / green / yellow rooster tail! Guarantee to catch something! Good video

Good stuff! Felt like I was there too. I’ve only ever had luck with a rooster tail on a small pond stocked with trout. I’m gonna have to give it a go again. How fast do you reel to keep it from getting hung up?

They are also supper good for crappie

Wow dude you are caching bas in the rooster tail so much I’m gonna buy the rooster tail pack of 16

The big lure the bigger the fish.You were coughing them old school.

That First One was so fast

Light weight reel; Gold Quantum

I love when you get fish after fish. Only happened once to me though

Rooster tail are the only lures I know work for sure every time. I’ve only used white though, maybe I should try brighter colors like you have.

Very entertaining video🙂

Do you still use a weight with a rooster tail

Going to try rooster tail for the first time tomorrow! As a noob, my luck only with pan fishes using worms. Do I need to cast and reel or just cast and wait with the rooster tail? And is it a good idea to use bobbers with rooster tail?

good luck mate!

Did you have mono braid or fluorocarbon in this video? I’m thinking of switching to 10lb colored braid with a 10lb mono leader

Just caught my pb bass with that fire tiger rooster tail awesome lure!

Siempre he usado Rooster Tail de 1/8. Mi hijo me regaló 2 Rooster Tail de 1/4 oz. Se hacen muy grandes. Que puedo sacar con ellas.

You could caught master bass on raster tails.

You can cast the raster tail and mile.

Que número es 1/6 o 1/4 de onza en tus cucharillas Rooster Tail.

How do you cast rooster tails so far. I cannot figure it out. I’m new to fishing and they’re so light they don’t go anywhere. It’s like I’m casting an empty line. Any pointers?

How come mine doesn't cast as far? Any tips?

How deep is the water Can you fish in shallow water

Great fishing gotto love the rooster tails! Random question what type of dog is that seems like a good fishing buddy!

Bass are over populated here. Small and skinny. But rooster tails are fish getters.

Is that the Pflueger president?

how do you set a hook too hard on a medium light with 4-6 pound mono?i

Growing up for me, when it came to family, was a very good time. I had people who made a concerted effort to make sure my sister and I had fun. I reside in Florida now moving from PA. after graduation, 17 years old. Places to fish in PA were scarce where I was from. The Gulf Coast of Central FL. was a paradise first viewed by a person who had medeocur possibilities back home. Anyway...... 5th & 6th grade our apartment building was across the street from a dairy farm. A small stream ran through the field which the farmer damned up to create 1-2 acre pond. My step Dad went over and asked permission to fish the pond and was given it. Blue gills, large mouth bass, bullfrogs, and an occasional turtle. Had to keep an eye open for the bovines and bovine piles. That's when I was introduced to hollow fiber glass fishing rod, a Mitchell Garcia open-faced spinning reel. Worms, a red and white clip on plastic bobber, snap swivels and lead split shots. The blue gills where okay to catch, but the bass weren't too fond of the worms and bobber set-up. So I got to nosing around in his tackle box and came across a white with black polka-dot rooster tail with a yellow treble feather, silver blade. I think it was less than 5 casts and I had my first large mouth. The cool thing about the rooster tail was the surprisingly slow speed retrieval you could have and still spin that blade. That was fifty years ago. Some of the other lures back then was the hula popper with rubber band skirt with a single treble hook. Other wooden poppers with a single downward turned medium shank hook (all 1 piece) and rubber band whiskers. The Mepps Minow spinner with brass beaded body, a tear drop spinner blade, single treble trailing with black and red feather. The Rapala round bill floating minnow color black over silver clear bill with twin treble hooks. It could be jerked or slow retrieve shallow diving swing bait. Besides plastic worms, last but not least were the red and white stripped Dare Devil spoons, mostly lake baits for Wallies, Pike, small mouth. The last year we went to the Pocono Mountains for vacation I used for fishing the lake a lure they called a sonic lure. It was shaped as a small pan fish with a mid back eyelet to connect your line. No bill, just body shape would cause it to dive sharply and swim/vibrate creating the sound of a fish in distress. Caught yellow perch on that lure. All baits from my youth. Sorry for rambling on, but it's hard to stop talking about fishing. Very nice videos.

Bass membership

The hair of the dog or grampas old cough medicine;

What part of the states are you in? ive never had any luck with lures but ive been trying a few different types, just got an 8 pack of these in the mail , gonna give em a try at the spillway tomorrow

Quick question, what size of rooster tail are you using??

It’s like crack on it

Wow do you edit your videos

Sick vid bro . 👍 subbed

I’ve caught my personal best on one it was 8 pounds 9 ounces...

I caught a 2.9 pound bass on a rooster tail this morning at 8:30ish

How fast do you reel the lure in?

I've only caught one fish on a lure in my life (just started fishing again since HS this April). You caught just about as many bass in this video as I caught trout all year 😂 Cheers 🍻

Rooster tails catch a lot of fish at by grandpas pond

The goth Olsen twins;Claire?

Im here for the cute dog.

They bigger bass go other the bigger raster tail.
