Gold-stamped and precisely balanced, the willow leaf blade on this 1/8 oz (3.6 g) spinner is a hallmark of the Worden’s design. This specimen, assigned Product Code 16097, features a yellow body decorated with red dots and a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm). Because it is unused, the lure remains in its original packaging, showcasing the factory-fresh condition of the tan hackle feather tail that hides the treble hook. Assembled in Mexico with U.S. parts, the lure utilizes a wire-through construction to ensure the yellow body stays aligned during casting and retrieval. The hackle density is designed to maintain a consistent profile, while the gold blade provides a specific flash intensity suited for technical stream fishing. Originating from Howard Worden’s 1950s concepts, this Yakima Bait model continues to be a standard for anglers seeking a grounded, stealthy presentation.
