Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #3929

Silver willow leaf blade and a white feathered hackle tail define this 1/8 oz (3.54 g) classic. Labeled with product code 3929 and catalog number 208 on the iconic red and blue Yakima Bait card, this specimen measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. This particular lure is unused and remains in its original vintage packaging, representing a condition rating of 6. The silver-finished blade features a subtle textured scale pattern, a hallmark of these early production runs out of Granger, WA. Howard Worden’s design integrates the hackle feather tail to disguise the treble hook and provide a lifelike profile. Recommended on the reverse for light spinning tackle, this spinner is intended for targeting species like trout, bluegill, and crappie. The backing card provides detailed size recommendations for the entire Rooster Tail lineup, highlighting its versatility for various freshwater species.
