Copper-toned willow leaf blades like the one on this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) lure are a hallmark of Howard Worden’s original design, which transitioned from its mid-century Wisconsin roots to become a Yakima Bait staple. The weighted body features a bright yellow finish accented by distinct red spots, paired with a vibrant orange and brown hackle tail that remains stiff and preserved. As product code 16495, this in-line spinner showcases the classic branding used during its manufacturing in Mexico, a specific era sought after by collectors for its consistent component quality. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g), the assembly relies on the drag of the hackle and the rotation of the stamped blade to engage fish in pressured streams. This specimen is unused, presenting in 6 condition while remaining sealed behind the original clear plastic blister on its red and blue card.
