Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 3, 3/16oz gold/brown spinning lure #21115

Gold-scaled willow leaf blades like the one on this 3/16oz (6g) spinner are renowned for their ability to spin at various speeds while providing a subtle flash. Stamped clearly with the brand name and the size "3," the metal blade accompanies a brown body that features a matching scale pattern. This piece, carrying product code 21115, showcases the classic construction established by Howard Worden in the 1950s. The hand-tied hackle tail in a brownish-orange shade is securely bound to the rear of the 2 1/4" (6cm) lure, designed to pulsate even in slow current. Every detail, from the wire-wrapped line tie to the sharp treble hook, remains in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably clean and well-maintained. Produced in the USA by Yakima Bait, the lure's compact design is specifically weighted for precision casting in smaller streams or rivers.
