Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #15741

Gold-colored willow leaf blades have been flashing in trout streams since the 1950s, and this 1/8 oz (3.6 g) spinner carries that heritage forward. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure features a vibrant green body and a dark olive hackle tail. Yakima Bait continues the tradition started by Howard Worden in Wisconsin with this specimen, designated by product code 15741. Manufactured in Mexico, the lure remains unused in its original packaging. The in-line configuration is designed for casting into smaller, pressured waters where a gentle entry is preferred. The blade is mounted to rotate widely around the central shaft, creating a distinct visual and sonic presence throughout the retrieve.
