Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Gold / Green spinning lure #11815

A weighted green body with distinct black markings anchors this 1/16oz (1.77g) in-line spinner. This Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, listed under product code 11815, measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and showcases the traditional design elements introduced by Howard Worden in the 1950s. The gold willow leaf blade is prominently stamped and paired with a multi-tonal yellow and dark hackle feather tail. Designed for casting into pressured trout waters, the lightweight construction allows for a stealthy approach and minimal surface disturbance. This specimen is rated in 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish on the metal components and well-preserved hackle fibers. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook neatly integrated into the feathered tail assembly.
