A classic for a long time!

I have caught fish on Roostertails for decades. Everything from Rainbows in Arkansas to stripers in the Tennessee River. There is a size and color for just about every species of freshwater fish.

These Are Great Lures That Catch Fish

I've been fishing Rapala plugs for at least 50 years and they're always my first choice for most freshwater species because they catch fish for me. If there are fish around, and you fish these lures of the right size and at the right depth, you'll catch them on these. I fish almost every day of the week; they're great lures that can be relied on to catch fish.
