Nickel plating gives this 1/8 oz (3.6 g) willow leaf blade a classic flash that has been fooling trout since Howard Worden first developed the design in 1950s Wisconsin. Rated at a 5/5, the specimen shows the consistent quality maintained by Yakima Bait in their USA-based production. The 2-inch (5 cm) profile features a weighted body with a scale-patterned finish, leading into the hand-tied black hackle feathers that define the Worden’s Original Rooster Tail. Recognized by Product Code 17144, this inline spinner is constructed for a stealthy landing, which is often a requirement when fishing clear, pressured water. The stamped blade is engineered to rotate widely around the wire shaft, producing a distinct vibration while the feathers provide a subtle, lifelike trailing movement.
