Better Design NeededWe have used the tail spin for several years for white bass and crappie. They will definitely catch fish but they do not last long due to the spinner breaks off easily. Wish they had a better design.

Outstanding lure by farWhite three quarter ounce. This is the only lure I use because I have caught crappie hybrid bass-white bass black bass and even strippers with this lure. The three quarters ounces version falls faster and you can chunk this lure an easy 40 yards. Several complaints I have with the product is durability. Paint After 25 sandy hits the paint will just about be gone. I fixed this problem by using white nail polish to touch up. This nail polish last longer than the original paint. Hook hang ups. Yes a problem when long casts. Fixed this with needle nose pliers by bending each hook inward a bit. Sure fix and still hangs fish. Tail spinner defect. This cannot be fixed. The dowel on the tail has a hole for connection of the blade. The hole will break out. This renders the lure broke except for parts. I have tried solder and brazing. Won't work. I took a bag of broke lures one day to bass pro not for a refund but to see if the could contact the manufacturer to remedy this defect. I had over 25 broke lures and they were not interested. The lure is so good that the positive results outweigh the defect. So trust me do not underbuy this lure when going out. Count on 25 to 40 fish and the lure will break. I can catch that amount in two hours. Also you will soon realize that bass pro does NOT stock this lure in large quantities at all. Especially white three quarters ounces. Second best color chartreuse.

A affordable Little George knockoffGet a tail spinner to schooling fish in a hurry. While there are many of this type lure to pick from the assortment of colors and weights cannot be beat for any price. Try chartreuse!

High expectationsThe whole lure itself spins in the water causing your line to twist. Never caught a fish on it either even when fish are biting.

Works GreatI got one of these for a gift a while back and just got to use it the other day. It works great for drop-offs and suspended bass while drift fishing. I let it drop straight down and yo-yo it up and down where the fish finder says there are fish. If they are going to bite, this technique really works most of the time.

Castiac CatchThese baits in a trout color have really worked well here in California. Find a drop off at a point and just rip this bait off the bottom. Let it drop on semi slack line. The drop is normally when they whack it!!!!
They are small baits but really catch some big bass.
Throw it 12 months out of the year. I caught a 26# rock fish in late November with it.

would this lure work for smaller bass, less than a pond?
I usually go fishing in ponds in my neighborhood and theres bass and brim and occasionally some bluegill. Most of the time when i catch them they are less than a pound.
Asked by: uglystikk

are these really good for bass?
are they any good for bass?
if so, what color should i use?
Asked by: lurecollector
I used to use silver and black in Mississippi, I normally use Trout colors here in California. They do work: ripping/yo-yo in deep water, really fast retrieve in shallower water. Great surch bait in spring to cover a whole bunch of water really fast!!!

How do you fish this?
Asked by: JRErie
It all depends on the weather. On colder days a slow stop and go retrieve would work best. On warm when the bass are near the top a moderate to fast retrieve with the occasional pause and jerk. Also ripping it off the bottom and letting it fall a bit and working into a moderate retrieve may work as well

What size tail blade?
What size tail blade comes on the 1/2oz model? Would it be considered a Colorado blade or Indiana blade?
The blade on mine came off while fishing. The slip ring and swivel are still intact.
Asked by: goldenone7710
It is more like a Colorado blade. I'm not sure as to the blade size. The lure body size is small, maybe dime size for the 1/2 oz, with the blade be somewhat smaller than the body. I've never lost a blade.
