Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/4oz spinning lure #20644

Weighing in at 1/4oz (8g), this Yakima Bait spinner features a classic silver willow leaf blade stamped with the Worden’s name and a distinct scale pattern. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this specimen is rigged with a chartreuse soft plastic grub trailer instead of the traditional hackle tail, offering a unique profile for stream or pond fishing. The weighted lead body also carries a pressed scale texture, matching the aesthetic of the blade. First developed by Howard Worden in the 1950s, the Rooster Tail is a legendary design for trout and panfish, though this specific configuration is particularly well-suited for light-tackle bass or perch. Identified by product code 20644, the lure is in excellent condition, rated 4/5, with bright silver plating and a supple plastic trailer. The hardware shows very little wear, and the stamping on the blade remains sharp and legible.
