Stamped with the iconic 'ROOSTER TAIL' name across its gold willow leaf blade, this Yakima Bait classic reflects the design legacy Howard Worden established in the 1950s. The body, weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), showcases a textured scale pattern in a brown finish that matches the natural hackle tail. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure's construction focuses on balance, utilizing a small top swivel to prevent line twist. The blade is meticulously finished in gold, providing a bright contrast to the earthy tones of the weighted body. Identified by product code 21099, the specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use while retaining its original factory luster. Its feathered tail is tied securely to the treble hook, a hallmark of the Worden design intended to offer a lifelike silhouette. This particular color scheme is a favorite for clear water situations where a more subtle presentation is required.
