Do you need to add weights to your line when your fishing with rooster tails? or spoons?

Question

in a lake or river

tips on how to use them to would be nice :)

Answer 1

no they have all the weight they need already. I love to use rooster tails.

Answer 2

no you should cast them out and wait for some time before you begin to retrieve the lures.... most of the time with a spoon you will get a hit while it is dropping - I let it drop then reel in at a steady pace jerking it every now & then and stopping every now and then...

as for the rooster tail - I let it drop after I first cast it out to let it drop - the speed of your retrieve will allow it to sink more or cause it to come close to the surface...

If you add a weight you will cause the lures not to function as they were designed...

Answer 3

No you don't need weights.You just cast them out and erratically retrieve them.Sometimes stopping completely,sometimes fast etc etc.

Answer 4

I don't know much about the 'rooster tail' but the spoon, that's a different story. Most professional fishing guides call it an "idiot lure" because you can just cast it out- no weight- and reel it back in. The trick is to twitch your rod tip and use your reel and erratic actions. Depending on the water clarity, you'll want to use a silver or gold spoon. Click here:

(There's more variety if you visit a big tackle shop: Gold, Silver, Chartreuse, Pink, Rootbeer, White/Pearl, and Hammered Copper.) Hope this helps. Tight lines!! :D
