Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Clown spinning lure #16799

A vibrant Clown pattern defines this 1/8 oz (3.6 g) Yakima Bait classic, featuring the signature design that has defined the Worden’s Original Rooster Tail for decades. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) frame is equipped with a gold willow leaf blade, designed to rotate widely and create a distinct presence in the water column. This specific specimen, identified by product code 16799, showcases a yellow body accented with bright red dots and a lush orange and yellow hackle tail. A noteworthy characteristic visible in low light is the body's luminescence; when charged, it emits a bright green glow that enhances visibility in deep or murky water. Manufactured in Mexico, the lure is in unused condition, still housed in its original factory packaging. The hand-tied hackle is securely bound to the treble hook, providing a soft texture that contrasts with the metallic flash of the stamped gold blade.
