I had the priviledge of using the Smokin' Rooster the last two times I went out fishing and I must say the name says it all, they are SMOKIN'.  I was out for just a couple of hours two mornings last week at a local lake that sees a lot of fishing pressure.  First I tried throwing some other baits just to see if I could get some bites and I could not buy a bite so I tied on the Smokin Rooster and instantly the bite came alive.  I am not talking a slow bite like I expected with the hot temps and bluebird skies, these were vicious hits.  Now the bass I was catching were between 2 and 2.5  pounds but they slammed these baits so hard I thought I had a 5 pound plus bass on the end of my line.  I threw the Smokin' Rooster TX rigged but the weight (1/8 oz) was not pegged and I swam it back to me at a nice steady pace.  On my first cast I only made about five revolutions of the handle when the Smokin Rooster got slammed.  All of the hits were like this on both days, these bass were going crazy trying to get this bait.  Big O, what can I say, these baits are simply amazing and they will be my go to bait once they are available at BPS or Tackle Warehouse.  I see a very large purchase in the near future once the Smokin' Roosters are on the shelves.  

Can't wait to give these a try.  All I hear is good, these will be perfect t-rigged swimming tall grass.
