Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 3/16oz spinning lure #16478

A precisely weighted 1/6 oz (4.7 g) body allows for subtle presentations in smaller, pressured streams where trout might be wary of larger profiles. The silver willow leaf blade features a series of blue vertical bars and distinctive red markings, paired with a blue and white striped lead body. A signature hand-tied hackle tail in blue and black covers the treble hook, providing the visual profile that gave this Worden’s design its name. This specific lure, identified by product code 16478, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and remains in unused condition. Developed by Howard Worden and manufactured in Mexico under the Yakima Bait brand, the construction focuses on a slim silhouette and a blade designed for consistent rotation. It is a classic tool for the trout angler’s kit, prized for its ability to generate significant vibration while maintaining a gentle splashdown.
