Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 3 UV, 3/16oz silver/red UV spinning lure #21050

Sporting a textured silver willow-leaf blade stamped with the 'ROOSTER TAIL' name, this 3/16oz (6g) spinner demonstrates the classic craftsmanship of Howard Worden’s original design. The 2 1/4" (6cm) frame features a weighted orange body that transitions into a thick tuft of red feather hackle covering the treble hook. Finished in a silver/red UV palette, the blade is detailed with a scale pattern that provides visual contrast. This particular lure is in superb shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating with clean hardware and vibrant plumage. The straight-wire construction and clevis-mounted blade are characteristic of the 1950s-era Yakima Bait tackle, designed for precision casting in both still and moving water. The silver stamp also includes the size '3' designation, ensuring quick identification in a tackle box.
