Trout Lures Rooster Bait Tail Fishing Spinnerbaits, Brass Hard Metal Review
Our verdict
The Trout Rooster Bait Tail kit runs $22.99 for 10 brass and stainless steel inline spinners, which works out to about $2.30 per lure. That undercuts single-buy rivals like the $8.99 Yakima spinners on a per-piece basis, and its 4.5 star rating across 127 reviews backs up the price with a decent track record.

Overview
A rooster tail style spinner is a trout staple, and this kit leans into that with 10 pieces per order for $22.99. That price covers two sizes, 2.75 inch and 3.25 inch inline spinnerbaits, built from brass and stainless steel rather than the plastic or synthetic bodies used on some cheaper single lures in this category.
The kit also mixes hook technique, listing single and triple hook options across the set. That variety matters for anglers who like to swap between a subtler single hook presentation and a triple hook for better hookup ratios on short strikes. At 0.25 ounces per lure, the weight sits in a light to moderate range suited to typical trout tackle rather than heavier bass gear.
On price alone, $22.99 for 10 pieces works out to about $2.30 per lure, which is cheaper per unit than buying single lures like the $8.99 Yakima 206-FRT or 206-WH. The tradeoff shows up in the review count and recent demand. This listing carries 127 reviews at 4.5 stars, a solid rating but well behind the Strike MK-93G's 1,536 reviews, and Amazon shows 0+ units bought in the last month here compared to hundreds for two of the three comparison lures.
Pros
- 10 pieces per kit brings the per-lure cost to about $2.30 at the $22.99 price
- Brass and stainless steel construction rather than plastic or synthetic bodies
- Two sizes included, 2.75 inch and 3.25 inch inline spinnerbaits, in one order
- Single and triple hook technique gives two presentation options in the same kit
- 4.5 star rating across 127 reviews
- 0.25 ounce lure weight suited to typical trout spinning tackle
Cons
- Amazon lists 0+ units bought in the past month, no recent purchase signal
- 127 reviews is far fewer than the Strike MK-93G's 1,536
- No target species is listed in the specs, unlike competitors that call out Bass or Multi Species
- Upfront cost of $22.99 is higher than grabbing a single $3.99 or $8.99 lure to try first

Performance notes
The mix of brass and stainless steel puts these spinners on the heavier, more durable end compared to the plastic-body Yakima 206-FRT or the synthetic Strike MK-93G. At 0.25 ounces, the lures sit in a range that casts well on light to medium spinning setups without needing extra split shot for depth. Two sizes, 2.75 inch and 3.25 inch, cover a small range of water column and current conditions, letting an angler switch to the smaller profile in clear or slow water and the larger one in stained or faster flow. The single and triple hook split is the more notable spec here. A single hook can mean fewer snags on rocky trout streams, while the triple hook option is built for maximizing hookups when trout are striking short. Ten pieces per order also means losing a lure to a snag or a break-off does not end the trip, which matters on the kind of rocky, brushy water where rooster tail spinners get fished hardest.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 127 reviews is a healthy rating, not far off the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the single-lure Strike and Yakima listings. The gap shows up in volume and recency. 127 reviews is a fraction of the Strike MK-93G's 1,536, and Amazon's 0+ bought-last-month figure here contrasts with 400+ for the Strike and 200+ for the Yakima 206-WH. That pattern suggests a lure with a consistent but smaller and currently quieter buyer base rather than one moving in high volume right now, at least based on Amazon's most recent monthly count.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures come in the Trout Rooster Bait Tail kit?
The kit ships with 10 pieces per order at $22.99, which works out to roughly $2.30 per lure. That includes a mix of the 2.75 inch and 3.25 inch inline spinnerbait sizes listed in the specs, not 10 of a single identical lure.
What is this spinnerbait made from?
The listed materials are brass and stainless steel. That is a step up from the plastic body on the Yakima 206-FRT or the synthetic body on the Strike MK-93G, both of which ship as single-piece lures rather than a multi-piece kit like this one.
Is this a popular lure right now?
Its 4.5 star rating across 127 reviews is solid, but Amazon lists 0+ units bought in the past month for this listing. That compares to 400+ for the Strike MK-93G and 200+ for the Yakima 206-WH, so current buying activity looks lighter than those two rivals.
