Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Vibric Rooster Tail, 1/8oz spinning lure #11817

Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this Yakima Bait specimen features an offset body design intended to minimize line twist during retrieval. The brass blade is boldly stamped with the Vibric Rooster Tail name and the 1/8 weight, displaying a yellow-painted face that matches the striped body. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is dressed with a generous orange and red feathered hackle that conceals the sharp treble hook. Originally developed under Howard Worden’s influence, the Vibric model is known for the specific vibration created by its blade's rotation around the offset shaft. This particular lure, identified by product code 11817, presents in excellent condition, warranting a 5/5 rating. The yellow body paint with red accents remains crisp, contrasting well against the dark finish of the internal wire and hook hardware.
