I used one for the first time and as soon as I put it on I had a trout on.. Since it’s a bigger bait I feel like it attracts bigger fish.

About this product
Simon Hot Tails are precision-molded hard bait lures engineered to mimic a crippled, injured baitfish, the triggering silhouette that kokanee, sockeye, chinook, coho, and steelhead key on during aggressive feeding behavior. The two-piece jointed construction produces a tight, erratic tail kick that single-body lures can’t replicate, creating a wounded-baitfish presentation that generates reaction strikes from fish that have passed on standard hardware. Their proven track record extends from Pacific salmon to walleye, making them one of the most versatile hard bait options in the lineup. Available in 22 proven color patterns. Comes as a 2-pack.
Questions and answers
What are Hawken Simon Hot Tails?
They are soft plastic trolling tails with UV-painted color, designed to mimic a wounded baitfish for kokanee, salmon, and trout. Each pack holds 2 tails. Catch America guides run them behind a dodger for kokanee and kings across California and Washington waters.
How do you rig Hawken Simon Hot Tails?
Rig them behind a flasher, dodger, downrigger, or weight. Thread one 3mm and two 4mm beads to the first hook, add a trailer hook, and tip with corn, coon shrimp, or prawns. Guide Austin Moser also rigs them with a fly or beads at Lake Roosevelt.
What species do Simon Hot Tails catch?
Kokanee, salmon, trout, and walleye. Capt. Monte Smith scores kokanee, kings, and rainbows on them at Don Pedro, and a glow Simon Hot Tail fooled a 5.5-pound German brown at Shaver Lake. They earn a spot in any dodger spread.
What speed do you troll Simon Hot Tails?
Slow-troll them behind a dodger for kokanee, the way Catch America guides fish them. Paul Brown ran a glow tail off downriggers at 35 to 55 feet at Shaver Lake, while Austin Moser pulled them behind planer boards for Lake Roosevelt kokanee and triploids.
What color Simon Hot Tail should I use?
The 2-pack lineup spans 22 colors, including glow patterns like Glow and Glow Pink Scale, plus Captain America, Double Trouble Pink, Firetiger, and Wounded Minnow. Glow has been a standout, accounting for that big Shaver Lake brown, and it shines in low light and deeper water.
What pairs well with Hawken Simon Hot Tails?
Run them behind the Trolling Dodger 6 inch. The Catch America guides slow-troll Simon Hot Tails behind a 6-inch dodger with corn, the same kokanee program Big Nate and Paul Brown fish at Berryessa and Shaver.

Action was fast this morning
Great action
One hot lure
They work great on kokes! I’m excited to fish them more as the season progresses, I expect them to perform better and better as the fish become more aggressive later in the summer.
Add a two beads to the front of the hot tail and then put on Coloradospinner blade, two bead spacing from the front of the hot tail double hooks on the back using them for cocaine and also coho’s, but did put smaller hooks on tried for trout worked really good also
Pitter blade in front of the hot tail couple beads for spacing really works good
Fished these alongside my trusty homemade hoochie/spinner setups and they worked great. I didn't keep track of the numbers, but I think these came out as the winner. Great spin on these with minimal beads needed in front of the hooks
Everything showed up right before I crushed my wrist so won’t be able to give a full review for bit but can’t wait to see how the do on my local lake
This lure works great for kokanee and this color is perfect for 60 foot depths. Caught more fish with this than with spinners or wedding rings.
Caught more kokanee on these hot tails than on any other lure in my box yesterday
Great!
Great product fast shipping
Look great, can't wait to try them.
I watched my son use these Hot Tail lures and he caught over twice the walleye’s I did (I was using perch spinners, slow death hooks, and walley pops and custom beaded lures with a small silver propeller up front). I ordered some hot tail lures as soon as I returned home but have not been back on the water yet.
very nice, good quality, am expecting good results on trout and kokanee salmon
Works well
Fish were jumping on this color.
First time out with it and it caught fish.
Nice lures. Haven’t fished them yet though. Will soon.
At local lake I can’t keep the fish off of these things.
I can’t tell you in public what I think because then everyone will start using them.
As always a great product and great service.
They look great!
Haven't had a chance to use them yet.......but will soon. They look good!
Bought it to catch Kokanee, and all it could catch yesterday was Rainbows. I must of got a defective one.

Shipped quickly and was the right product.

Look awesome
Kokanee slam it!
Looks like it'll catch fish
Timely delivery. The lures worked great
I liked how quickly I received them in the mail. I also like how well they were packaged and the shape they were in when received. The colors are brite and look great, the glow pink scale really glows after being under a UV light for a couple of minutes. I can't wait to try them on some Kokanee. Very happy with them so far.
looks good
Great product!
