Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this Yakima Bait spinner showcases the distinct offset-body design that helps prevent line twist. The gold willow-leaf blade is accented with a vibrant orange sticker, which clearly identifies it as a Vibric Rooster Tail with the 1/4 size designation. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in total length, the lure features a textured, conical brown body that tapers toward the feathered hackle tail. This particular unit, carrying product code 3990, is finished with a dense cluster of brown feathers that remain well-attached to the hook assembly. Observations of the blade show some minor surface scuffs and signs of careful use, placing the condition at a solid 5/5 for a vintage specimen. The specific shaft configuration of the Vibric series was designed by Howard Worden to create a unique profile in the water compared to the centered-blade arrangement of the standard Rooster Tail line.
