Roostertail Sizes?

When I throw a spoon, I just tie on the smallest snap swivel. I don't know why you couldn't do the same on a spinner. I don't think trout care one bit about that swivel on a flashy bait that is moving at a decent rate of speed. It helps prevent line twist and you can switch baits out in a matter of seconds in stead of having to completely retie. If you don't like the snap swivel on the bait, you can just use a small barrel swivel a foot or two up the line with a leader and then tie your lure on to the leader. That swivel and leader setup also gives you the option to add a bullet weight ahead of the swivel for extra weight. @MoCarp mentioned that in a previous post when talking about using roostertails for trout and it makes perfect sense.

I don't trout fish but we use 3/16 up to 1/2 oz for white bass and go all the way up to 1 oz for hybrids. We make our own and my buddy has decided to sell them. If you like to support local guys check out his sites and take a look at the inline spinners he hand makes.

On less aggressive fish I will often go down to the 1/32 oz roostertail with the prop blade. It spins even on the slowest retrieve. Can throw this with 2# Pline. Works great for panfish as well. Just getting harder to find.
