Eazy Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 I've got a few of these in my box, look to be fantastic little spinners as to regarding overall appearance, but, for the life of me, can't seem to get the blade spinning while retreiving?????......Is it just me or is this a common problem with these baits?
Roy Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Are you sure they're authentic Wordens? I've got a whackload of them and they all work flawlessly.
solopaddler Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 IMO that's a common problem with that blade style. One of my favourite spinners for trout, I've got tons of them, but you really have to give them a sharp tug to get the blade spinning. I've found not using a snap swivel helps immensly for whatever reason.
singingdog Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Solo is right, no swivel will help get them started....that works with all spinners. Last year, I canned the roostertails I had because I was sick of jerking on them to get them to start spinning.
bushart Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Beauty spinner though---those and panther martins---have caught lots for me

mbac31 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Wordens lures are awesome, Im sponsored by them infact. I use them all the time and find that they need to be used on very light line and have to be tugged to get them started usually. I find that if I place a saporo barrell swivel on it first it tends to stop the line twist and makes them run better.

I neglected to mention earlier when I'm fishing with Rooster Tails as mentioned I tie the line directly to the lure but usually run a barrel swivel inline about a foot and a half above the spinner. Side note, check your pm's.

Funny you should mention that......looked at the package yesterday and it said to do exactly that, but once you get them spinning do you have to really burn 'em in fast to keep the blade spinning?
Beans Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I gots a friend down in Alabama that swears by Worden's Rooster Tails...his favorite is the Green Coach Dawg...
