A vibrant yellow hackle feather tail distinguishes this Yakima Bait classic, a design legacy tracing back to Howard Worden's innovations in the 1950s. Weighted at 3/16oz (5g) and stretching 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the lure features a willow leaf blade stamped with the "SONIC ROOSTER TAIL" mark. The segmented metal body carries a warm brass-colored finish, leading down to a sharp treble hook well-guarded by the dense yellow fibers. This particular specimen, identified by product code 12614, remains in 5/5 condition with a bright, clean appearance across all components. It is built for a retrieval style that relies on the broad rotation of the blade to generate vibration in the water column. The gentle splashdown of the feathered rear makes it a historically popular choice for anglers working small, pressured trout streams where stealth is paramount.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
