Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 3/16oz Brass / Red spinning lure #1387

Vibrant red weighted body and matching feathered hackle define this 3/16oz (6g) in-line spinner, a design that has remained a favorite among trout enthusiasts for decades. This Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, product code 1387, features the signature willow leaf blade stamped with a detailed scale pattern and the Yakima Bait logo. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the lure is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use with all components precisely intact. While the catalog specifies a Brass / Red color scheme, the blade presents a bright, polished finish that provides significant flash against the deep red body. The hackle tail is designed to provide a soft silhouette while the blade rotates widely around the shaft, generating a consistent vibration. This setup is particularly effective for the subtle presentations needed when fishing smaller, high-pressure streams.
