Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Vibric Rooster Tail, 2/5oz spinning lure #15441

Bright yellow paint with distinct red stripes adorns the weighted offset body of this specimen. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11.3 g), this Yakima Bait Vibric Rooster Tail carries the Product Code 15441 and features the signature hackle tail in a vibrant blend of orange and yellow feathers. The gold-plated willow leaf blade is clearly stamped with the model name, reflecting the heritage of Howard Worden’s original 1950s designs. This specific construction utilizes an offset body to help minimize line twist during casting and retrieval. Rated at 5/5, the lure is in excellent condition, with the paint remaining crisp and the gold finish on the blade showing no signs of wear. The wire shaft is perfectly straight, and the treble hook remains sharp and well-seated within the colorful feather dressing.
