Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz silver spinning lure #21310

A nimble 1/8 oz (3.6 g) weight characterizes this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, designed for the delicate presentations required in small streams. Howard Worden’s design legacy is evident in the silver willow-leaf blade, which is paired with a hand-tied white hackle tail for visual appeal during a steady retrieve. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this inline spinner carries product code 21310 and represents the classic craftsmanship of the Yakima Bait Co. era in Granger, Washington. The lure is unused and remains secured in its original vintage cardback, showing the classic blue, white, and red graphics. The packaging even retains its original retailer price sticker from Oshman's, adding a layer of provenance to this American-made tackle specimen.
