Description

The Joe Thomas signature Rooster Tail is a premium spinner and top producer for bass and schooling stripers. Try a fast retrieve during the post or pre-spawn time periods, when the water temperature is 55 to 65 degrees. Retrieve fast enough so your Rooster Tail will run within a few feet of the surface – this will produce explosive strikes from bass, particularly smallmouth!

Field Notes

Best with a fast retrieve in pre-spawn or post-spawn periods when fish are active and feeding near the surface. The description says to run it within a few feet of the surface, making it a good choice for covering water and triggering reaction strikes from bass and schooling stripers.

Pros

  • Premium spinner design with strong flash and vibration
  • Effective for fast retrieves near the surface
  • Good for bass and schooling stripers

Cons

  • Can be too fast-moving for inactive fish
  • Not ideal when fish are holding deep
