Stamped clearly onto the nickel willow leaf blade, the "ROOSTER TAIL" branding and weight mark identify this Yakima Bait piece as a 17282 model. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure pairs a black lead body featuring a subtle scale texture with a matching black hackle feather tail. This 1/4 oz (7 g) inline spinner follows Howard Worden’s original design principles established in 1950s Wisconsin, prioritizing a stealthy splashdown and a blade that rotates widely to generate underwater vibration. The nickel blade shows some light marks from time spent in a tackle box, resulting in a respectful 4/5 condition rating. Its bronze-finish treble hook is well-preserved, sitting tucked within the feathers.
