A black cross-hatched body distinguishes this 1/4 oz (7g) spinner, a configuration that has remained a favorite for trout since Howard Worden first developed the design in Wisconsin during the 1950s. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure features a silver willow leaf blade clearly stamped with the Yakima Bait logo and the Rooster Tail name. The specimen, identified by product code 12629, is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a full hackle tail. This black feathered tail is tied to conceal a bronze treble hook, providing a stealthy presentation and a gentle splashdown when fishing pressured streams. The silver blade is designed to rotate widely, creating the specific vibrations known to draw strikes from resistant fish. Its Silver / Black color scheme provides a high-contrast profile that works across a variety of water clarities.
