Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #17146

A weight of 1/8oz (3.6g) makes this Yakima Bait creation a versatile choice for finesse situations on light line. Measuring 2" (5cm), the Worden’s Original Rooster Tail features the classic inline spinner design popularized by Howard Worden in the 1950s. The silver willow leaf blade on this specimen displays a distinct stamped texture, including a prominent letter "S", which provides a specific visual profile compared to smooth finishes. Secured with a black hackle tail, the rear treble hook is a signature element of this model, intended to create a natural silhouette during a steady retrieve. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 17146, maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with a clean silver finish on the lead body and blade. The hackle remains full and well-attached, while the hardware shows only the slightest signs of its vintage heritage. This USA-manufactured spinner continues to be a go-to for anglers targeting trout and panfish in pressured waters.
