Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/4oz срібло/чорний spinning lure #20860

Stamped onto the silver willow leaf blade is the iconic "ROOSTER TAIL" name, a hallmark of Howard Worden’s 1950s design. This Yakima Bait specimen, product code 20860, pairs a sleek, textured black body with a matching feathered tail. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure offers a balanced profile for targeting species from trout to perch. The hand-tied feathers on the treble hook are a defining characteristic, providing a lifelike appearance in the water. In its 5/5 condition, the silver finish on the blade remains clear and the black body retains its original luster. The wire construction and hardware are tight, reflecting the quality control of its USA origin. The willow leaf blade is engineered for high-frequency vibration and flash during a steady retrieve.
