Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/2oz gold/hot pink spinning lure #21576

Stamped clearly onto the textured gold willow leaf blade is the 'Rooster Tail' mark, identifying this 1/2oz (14g) Yakima Bait inline spinner. The 3 1/2" (9cm) lure features a vibrant hot pink weighted body that provides the necessary ballast for long casts into moving water. Developed originally by Howard Worden in the mid-20th century, this design incorporates a hand-tied red feather tail which hides the sharp treble hook and adds a subtle natural texture. This specific specimen maintains a high level of preservation with clean hardware and a bright finish, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Small colorful beads sit just above the body, acting as a bearing for the clevis to allow the blade to spin freely during a steady retrieve. The gold blade is detailed with a fine scale pattern, reflecting light to mimic forage fish found in both streams and lakes.
