Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/4oz spinning lure #20735

Stamped with the iconic weight marking on its gold scale-patterned blade, this 1/4oz (7g) Worden’s Original Rooster Tail features a distinct profile with its soft plastic trailer addition. The inline spinner design, cataloged under product code 20735, measures a total length of 2 3/4" (7cm). A speckled white weighted body is paired with a chartreuse-colored curly tail grub, offering a different visual signature than the traditional hackle tail usually found on these Yakima Bait classics. The gold willow-leaf blade is deeply embossed with the brand name and rotates on a wire frame secured by brass beads. Currently rated in 4/5 condition, the lure shows gentle signs of time while maintaining its structural readiness. This specimen utilizes a bronze-finished treble hook, which is neatly integrated into the soft plastic trailer. The construction reflects the classic Howard Worden design, a staple in American trout fishing since the 1950s, adapted here with a bulky trailer for increased visibility in the water column.
