Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), this heavier-profile in-line spinner provides the necessary mass for long casts into deep pools or fast-moving currents. Adorned in a classic Frog color pattern consisting of a dark base with vivid orange crackle accents and green spotting, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail carries the legacy of Howard Worden’s 1950s Wisconsin designs. The specimen measures 3 1/4" (8cm) in length and is equipped with the signature hand-tied feathered tail in red hackle, which masks the treble hook. Carrying product code 14396, the Yakima Bait construction features a willow leaf blade that is designed to rotate widely for maximum vibration. The finish and hardware on this piece are remarkably well-preserved, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. Its gentle splashdown makes it a historically preferred choice for anglers fishing pressured trout waters where stealth is paramount.
