At a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the brass-toned body of this Yakima Bait spinner pairs with a classic hackle tail to create a profile that has enticed trout for decades. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the specimen features an oval-shaped blade adorned with a prismatic, holographic sticker bearing the Sonic Rooster Tail name and the distinctive "S" logo. This specific lure, identified by product code 15178, utilizes a tan hackle feather tail that conceals a sharp treble hook, a design choice intended to provide a soft landing on the water's surface. Howard Worden's legacy is visible in the blade's rotation mechanics, which were engineered to produce significant sound and vibration even on a slow retrieve. The hardware and blade display a condition rating of 5/5, showing the original luster of the gold-colored metal and the integrity of the feather assembly. The weighted brass core is segmented into three distinct rings, ensuring the lure maintains its position during casting.
