Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Silver / Black spinning lure #12606

A textured black body paired with a hand-tied feathered hackle distinguishes this 1/8oz (3.54g) classic in-line spinner. Carrying product code 12606, this Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail is finished in a clean Silver / Black colorway. The willow leaf blade is deeply stamped with the brand name and fractional weight, staying true to the design Howard Worden pioneered in the 1950s to create significant vibration through the water. The feathered hackle tail is densely tied to mask the treble hook while maintaining a slender profile. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the metallic finish on the blade and the black texture of the weighted body remaining sharp and clear. It serves as a prime example of the in-line spinners often chosen for their stealthy profile and effective flash in pressured trout streams.
