Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz spinning lure #22030

Stamped clearly with a scale pattern and the '1/8' weight mark, the silver willow leaf blade is a defining characteristic of this Yakima Bait in-line spinner. This Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, product code 22030, weighs 1/8oz (3.6g) and measures 2" (5cm) in length. Its construction features a vibrant chartreuse body with a small green band, leading into a natural-colored hackle tail that hides a treble hook. This design is rooted in Howard Worden’s mid-century Wisconsin innovations, specifically tailored for a gentle entry into the water. The specimen is in 4/5 condition; the metal blade maintains a bright finish with crisp lettering, though the painted body exhibits slight thinning from use.
