I'm thrilled to see the lures I sent arrived and that you had success with all of them! 😀 Bonus that the hemostats weren't needed while using them. Thanks for another awesome video!

This is my favorite kind of fishing, simple small creek multi-species. Great video as usual!

Pulled out a 20.5” 4.16 pound smallie today in a local creek! I was using a 6” trace though lol. Not a rooster tail. This video makes me want to go back to the old faithful rooster tail for a day in a creek!

These kinds of videos are your best. Love these small stream, wading videos where you’re trying new stuff out.

Once I bet my cousin $20, that I could catch 100 bass in one day in our out of balance family 5-acre lake in NW Alabama, using only 1/16 ounce rooster tails fishing from a small boat with one oar. Caught and released 50 (probably would have been better to cull a few but I just can't) in the first hour and was well on my way, and he agreed to pay half if I quit, so I did. I didn't tell him that I was about to quit from the heat anyway. My only complaint about rooster tails, was injuries to fish when they swallowed the treble, now I see the solution...single hooks, thanks.

Great video man just starting to watch it I’m going fishing on Saturday hopefully to catch some. Largemouth bass that’s my fish to catch I caught a 3 pound 9 inch fish In the last 3 weeks

Found a new spot today. Couldn't get a bite, but saw some bass that are gonna be a PB for sure if I can get them to eat. Several looked 5 or 6 pounds at least. They wouldn't hit anything I was throwing, not even wacky yum dingers or nose hooked flukes. Gonna try a spook at daylight in the morning.

Thanks for the journey, John. Watch for those snakes.

G’ya! Those loud insects are the sounds of a hot, sticky, summer day down south.

Gotta have plenty of old tires to make it an authentic urban creek fishing experience 👍😃

I've seen bass up to 4 lbs eat little 1/24 oz rooster tails. Back in the day we used to catch tons of pond and creek fish on these. Also caught tons of stocker trout on the Hooch with them.

Those rooster tails look EPIC!!!! Another great video Jon!

Me and my daughter used rooster tails for the first time in a LONG time and they slayed smallmouth for us! Amazing how the simple stuff works so well.

love the white and silver rooster tail, ive caught most of my summer fish on that

I wish more lure manufacturers would offer a single hook option. Trebles are really unnecessary and can be dangerous when handling larger fish. I swap out most of mine and starting making my own in-line single hook spinners. Props to Roostertail and Mepps for the few they offer. Great video!

I really enjoy doing the same type of fishing I see in your vids. You have taught me a lot about cast placement while wading.......I never used to cast to the middle of streams much, and I would bypass a lot of water without making casts. Your vids have improved my game.

I love to watch your creek fishing video's when you are wading. It reminds me back when my younger brother and I used to go wading up various creeks around Austin, Texas fishing when it was less developed. Happy day's.

Hey John you looked so sad when you had to turn around. I know that FEELING!! Especially when you knew there were more fish ahead. Tight lines!

Another great Creek Fishing Adventure with a classic small creek / stream lure. I love and have all of those colors. The rainbow/firetiger and black with silver highlights and nickel blade is my small water Swiss Army knife. Catch tons of fish with inline spinners. Glad to see you stalking up a creek with them tied on. Blessings brother John

I did some creek fishing the other day. Good times.
