Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 3/16oz Red / Orange / Brass spinning lure #0181

Weighing exactly 3/16oz (4.72g), this vintage in-line spinner features a polished brass willow leaf blade paired with a vibrant orange body and a deep red hackle tail. The hand-tied feathered tail, a hallmark of the Yakima Bait brand since Howard Worden's early designs in the 1950s, remains sleek and intact on this specimen. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length, this lure carries Product Code 0181 and is still housed in its original vintage carded packaging. The specimen is unused, maintaining a factory-fresh appearance that reflects its well-preserved status. Collectors will appreciate the distinct color contrast between the bright orange mid-section and the rich red feathers. The brass blade is stamped with the manufacturer's identification, grounding this piece in its historical Pacific Northwest origins.
