Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Vibric Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Red spinning lure #12567

Red hackle feathers create a vibrant, full profile on the tail of this 1/16 oz (1.7 g) classic spinner. Identified by product code 12567, this Yakima Bait Vibric Rooster Tail measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and features a weighted red body with a distinct scale texture. This specific offset-body design is a technical feature meant to shift the center of gravity, which helps reduce line twist. The silver willow leaf blade is well-preserved, showing the traditional red and white "VIBRIC ROOSTER TAIL" branding and logo clearly. Originally developed by Howard Worden, these lures became a mainstay for trout anglers across the United States starting in the 1950s. The silver-toned wire and hardware are clean, matching the high-quality 5/5 condition rating seen across the paint and feathered components.
