Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this specimen showcases the offset body weight that Yakima Bait designed to help prevent the line twist common with many in-line spinners. Stamped onto the silver-backed blade is the classic VIBRIC ROOSTER TAIL branding and the 1/4 weight designation. Weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g), the lure features a striking UV-reactive orange finish on both the blade and the body, which is paired with bold black tiger stripes. This specific color scheme glows intensely under ultraviolet light, a modern enhancement to Howard Worden's mid-century design. The back of the lure is finished with a hand-tied, dense black hackle feather tail that conceals the treble hook. Carrying the product code 8291, this USA-made lure presents in superb condition, appearing clean and well-maintained, deserving a 5/5 rating.
