Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #3933

Tipping the scales at exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic inline spinner remains a staple in many vintage collections. Yakima Bait continues the legacy of Howard Worden’s design with this specific Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, cataloged under product code 3933. A silver-finished willow leaf blade is mounted on the wire frame, paired with a hand-tied black hackle feather tail. This 2 3/4" (7 cm) specimen is unused, preserved on its original red, white, and blue retail carding which identifies the model as 212. The construction features a weighted lead body painted black to match the feather dressing, providing a high-contrast profile in the water. On the reverse of the packaging, assembly in Mexico is noted alongside size recommendations for targeting species like trout, bass, and panfish.
