Weighing just 1/16 oz (1.77 g), this diminutive spinner remains a staple for ultra-light enthusiasts targeting trout in pressured waters. The nickel-finished willow leaf blade features a distinct stamped scale pattern designed to produce a tight rotation and high-frequency flash. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1874, is outfitted with a vibrant neon pink body segment and a hand-tied feathered tail in a rich blend of red and orange hues. Originally developed by Howard Worden in the 1950s, the design relies on the pulsating action of the hackle to create a lifelike silhouette. The lure is currently in unused condition, preserved within its original blue-bordered card packaging from Yakima Bait. The through-wire construction ensures the components stay aligned during casting and retrieval in various current speeds. This feathered in-line spinner is a classic example of American tackle history, maintaining the same profile that made the brand a household name for stream anglers.
