Black and white polka dots contrast sharply against the silver-toned willow leaf blade and weighted body of this vintage 1/8 oz (3.6 g) in-line spinner. Bearing the Product Code 15992, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail reflects the design principles Howard Worden established in the 1950s for stealthy stream fishing. The hallmark hackle feather tail on this 2" (5 cm) specimen is a brownish-orange hue, still full and securely tied. The stamped blade displays the "Rooster Tail" branding clearly, a sign of its Yakima Bait manufacturing roots. In its 5/5 condition, the paint remains crisp on both the blade and the torpedo-shaped body. The hardware includes a traditional treble hook, mostly concealed by the namesake feathered tail.
