Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 2/5oz Silver / Pink spinning lure #12628

Stamped on the silver willow leaf blade with a scale-textured finish, the 3/8 weight marking highlights the long heritage of this particular spinner. Carrying product code 12628, the lure measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and is cataloged at a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g). The Silver / Pink colorway is punctuated by a bright pink lead body and a deep red feathered hackle, a design Howard Worden originally developed in Wisconsin to entice trout in pressured streams starting in the 1950s. The paint remains smooth and the treble hook is well-preserved, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. A distinct "C" logo is engraved on the blade surface near the bottom, just below the Rooster Tail branding.
