Gold willow leaf blades like the one on this size 3 specimen are synonymous with the Howard Worden legacy, dating back to the 1950s. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), the spinner is built around a brown cylindrical body featuring a distinct honeycomb texture. The blade is clearly stamped with the 'ROOSTER TAIL' name and the number '3', set against a subtle scale pattern that matches the aesthetic of the brown feathered hackle tail. This specific item, listed under product code 3988, spans a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm) from the wire eyelet to the hook. The preservation of the materials is excellent, with the hackle remaining full and the gold-toned metal showing no signs of heavy wear. Following a close inspection, the condition is rated 5/5, reflecting its well-maintained hardware and clean finish.
