Stamped clearly into the nickel-finished willow leaf blade is the iconic "ROOSTER TAIL 0" marking, signaling its place as a quintessential American stream lure. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and weighing just 1/16 oz (1.77 g), this Yakima Bait specimen (Product Code: 3991) is built for the stealthy presentations required on pressured trout waters. The vibrant red body displays a scale-pattern texture that leads into a dense cluster of red hackle feathers, a design choice Howard Worden refined in 1950s Wisconsin to ensure a soft splashdown. This vintage feathered spinner remains in good vintage shape, showing light surface oxidation on the metal components while the red finish and tail remain crisp, earning a 4/5 condition rating. The integrated swivel at the head of the wire harness is a practical touch for managing line twist when working current seams.
