A vibrant willow leaf blade, stamped with the iconic Rooster Tail branding and a 1/8 weight designation, serves as the centerpiece of this Yakima Bait classic. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this inline spinner remains a testament to Howard Worden’s 1950s Wisconsin design. The body features a Gold / Fire Tiger pattern, transitioning from bright yellow to a warm orange, complemented by an olive-toned feathered hackle tail with subtle red accents. Identified by product code 14939, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining crisp metal etching and clean feather density. The construction is intended for a gentle entry into the water, providing a stealthy presentation in pressured trout streams and smaller waterways. Its silver blade features an embossed scale pattern that catches light, while the trailing hackle provides a soft profile around the treble hook.
