Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Gold / Rainbow Trout spinning lure #12043

A delicate weight of 1/16 oz (1.7 g) characterizes this ultra-light spinner, a quintessential choice for navigating small, pressured trout streams. This Yakima Bait specimen, designated with product code 12043, showcases the Gold / Rainbow Trout color scheme. Its design features a polished gold willow leaf blade paired with a body finished in yellow and orange tones with dark spotting. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is finished with a hand-tied greyish-brown hackle tail that serves to hide the treble hook. Howard Worden’s original design remains intact here, utilizing a blade that rotates widely to produce distinct vibrations. This item, manufactured in Mexico, is unused and retains a condition rating of 6. It is presented on its original card, which includes the manufacturer's code 206 BRTR on the reverse.
