Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, this in-line spinner utilizes a willow leaf blade finished in a vibrant chartreuse. The weighted body is painted black with a chartreuse accent near the head, leading into a dark hackle feather tail. This specific configuration, listed under product code 16098, carries the 1/8 oz (3.6 g) weight that Howard Worden integrated into his designs starting in the 1950s to achieve a gentle splashdown in shallow trout runs. The clevis-mounted blade is engineered to rotate widely, creating vibration that has made Yakima Bait a staple in tackle boxes for decades. This specimen is unused, retaining the original factory sheen on both the painted surfaces and the polished wire. Its construction features a single treble hook tucked within the hackle, designed to maintain a stable orientation during the retrieve.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
