A brass willow leaf blade, featuring a detailed scale pattern and the "ROOSTER TAIL" stamp, serves as the visual centerpiece for this Yakima Bait classic. This specific specimen carries the product code 15449 and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length with a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g). The body is a solid, vibrant red, leading into a matching red hackle feather tail tied directly to the treble hook. This design, pioneered by Howard Worden in the 1950s, utilizes the hackle to create a distinct profile in the water. The condition is rated 5/5, as the brass blade retains its luster and the feathered tail is full and intact. The wire form is straight, and the factory wrap at the line tie remains tight and secure. The brass components show a subtle, clean age that identifies it as a genuine vintage piece for the collection. The hackle tie is neatly finished where it meets the red weighted body, ensuring the feathers sit correctly against the hook shank.
