Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden's Original Rooster Tail , 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #17864

Tipping the scales at a precise 3/32 oz (2.6 g), this vintage specimen represents the classic Howard Worden design that has been a mainstay in tackle boxes since the 1950s. The gold-plated willow leaf blade is stamped with the distinctive Rooster Tail logo, designed to produce a broad rotation and significant water displacement. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure features a vibrant yellow weighted body and a meticulously tied hackle tail blending gold and dark fibers. Identified by product code 17864, this Yakima Bait Co. spinner is preserved in its original vintage carding. The lure is unused (condition: 6), maintaining the original factory finish on the hardware and the integrity of the natural feather tail. The in-line construction is engineered for stable casting and a wide-spinning blade that provides consistent flash during a straight retrieve.
