Stream & river spin casting - cast diagonally into the current & let your Rooster Tail settle near the bottom. Jig & drift along as near the bottom as possible, the blade does not have to spin to attract fish.

Lake spin casting & trolling - cast out & let your Rooster Tail settle near the bottom. Give a quick jerk of your rod tip to get the blade spinning & then retrieve slowly. Vary the pattern & speed of your retrieve. Twitch your rod tip slightly & try a stop & go technique. If line twist is a problem, troll with a small weightless rudder, keel sinker or barrel swivel 18" to 14" ahead of your lure.
