Sometimes the best way to understand why a lure works is to watch it in action. Alongside the written reviews of the TailKicker, a video walkthrough shows the lure being fished on Beaver Lake in Arkansas — a real-world, on-the-water look that pairs well with everything anglers like Gene Bishop and Henry Veggian have said about it.
Watching the TailKicker fished live is a good next step if you've read about the line-through design and the way it keeps bass pinned on the hookset, but want to see how it actually translates to a cast, a retrieve, and a fight. Beaver Lake is a big, clear reservoir with plenty of the same kind of structure and ledges that make the TailKicker effective on lakes like Ross Barnett — proof that the technique travels well beyond one body of water.
If you're new to tailspin lures or just new to the TailKicker, this is a good one to bookmark before your next trip.
