Gold-finished willow leaf blades are a hallmark of the Yakima Bait series, and this particular lure—product code 17442—features the distinct 'Rooster Tail' stamp centered on the metal. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.7g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the lure is built around a weighted orange body finished with black painted accents. The hackle tail is hand-tied with a combination of red and black feathers, providing a soft texture behind the spinning hardware. These in-line spinners were originally developed by Howard Worden in Wisconsin to offer a subtle splashdown for pressured trout. The willow leaf blade is designed to rotate widely, creating the vibration and flash that defines the series. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the components are clean and the paint retains its original luster. A sharp treble hook is tucked into the hackle, ready for use on smaller streams or for targeting panfish.
