Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this in-line spinner features a gray and white scale pattern applied to the weighted lead body. This Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, product code 0990, weighs 1/4 oz (7g) and utilizes a silver willow leaf blade stamped with the manufacturer's logo and size markings. The condition is rated 5/5; the white hackle feather tail is clean and full, while the silver plating on the blade remains bright and reflective. Developed by Howard Worden in the 1950s, the design incorporates a narrow blade that rotates on a metal clevis, producing significant vibration and flash during a steady retrieve. The wire shaft is perfectly straight, leading to a treble hook concealed within the hand-tied feathered dressing. This specimen is a quintessential Yakima Bait tool, designed for a subtle splashdown that is effective in pressured trout streams.
