Rapala Tail Dancer

The Tail Dancer's banana-style balsa wood body creates a deadly wobble. Add an internal rattle with field tested colors and you get a lure that jerks lunker jaws in bass, salmon and trout fisheries.

The stop-and-go technique works wonders with the Tail Dancer. Crank your bait down, then pause for a one or two count, then crank ahead, then stop. The lure during the stop counts actually backs up, simulating a fish riding the currents present in all waters.

Another sure-fire technique is to simulate a feeding baitfish by bottom-bouncing the Tail Dancer while trolling or retrieving.

Trolling the weedlines with the Tail Dancer has also proven an extremely effective technique. Pros attribute the success to the wide-tail action with a relatively stationary head, a close resemblance to real minnows.
