A vibrant red enamel oval centered on a brass-tone blade defines the visual character of this classic Yakima Bait spinner. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 3/16oz (5g), the lure features a tiered brass body that provides the necessary weight for precision casting into tight pockets. This specimen, identified by product code 12309, is equipped with a reddish-orange hackle tail tied around a treble hook, a design choice intended to create a soft silhouette in the water. The Sonic blade design is a direct evolution of Howard Worden’s original vision, engineered for quick rotation to produce a distinct profile during the retrieve. Maintaining a condition rating of 4/5, the metal components and feathered tail show very light evidence of time but remain clean and well-preserved. The blade is clearly stamped with the Sonic Rooster Tail branding, marking its place in the lineage of American-made trout and panfish tackle.
