Gold-finished and stamped with the 1/8 oz (3.54 g) weight marking, the willow leaf blade serves as the centerpiece of this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail (Product Code 12537). Measuring 2" (5 cm), the lure features an orange-painted body with black accents, a classic color combination for stained water or low-light conditions. The red feathered tail is tied with precision around the treble hook, a hallmark of Howard Worden’s 1950s Wisconsin design. In a 5/5 condition, the spinner is remarkably preserved, with the gold plating remaining bright and the hackle fibers appearing full and vibrant. Yakima Bait designed these in-line spinners to offer a stealthy splashdown, making them a preferred tool for navigating small, pressured trout streams where presentation is everything.
