Gold-colored finish on the blade carries the clear 'ROOSTER TAIL' and weight stamps that help identify this 1/8oz (3.54g) classic. Featuring a length of 2" (5cm), this Yakima Bait spinner, known as the Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, is identified by product code 12543. The yellow body is decorated with clean black patterns, matching the full, bi-color hackle tail that Howard Worden integrated into the design back in the 1950s. Since its origins in Wisconsin, the model has been favored for its stealthy entry into the water, particularly useful on small streams. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing perfectly preserved components from the wire loop down to the sharp treble hook. The gold willow leaf blade rotates around the weighted body to provide the specific visual flash this series is famous for.
