Brass-scaled textures deeply embossed into the willow leaf blade distinguish this 1/4oz (8g) in-line spinner as a true classic from Yakima Bait. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this specimen features the signature lead body in a dark green finish, complemented by a hand-tied green hackle feather tail. Cataloged as product code 1391, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 4 represents Howard Worden’s design legacy originating in the 1950s, specifically engineered for a wide blade rotation that creates significant vibration. The brass blade is clearly stamped with the recognizable brand name, a detail often sought by those collecting early American trout tackle. This feathered type lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained hardware and a clean, intact tail assembly. Its construction is centered on a weighted body that allows for precise casting in smaller, pressured streams where a gentle entry is necessary to avoid spooking trout. The original treble hook is firmly attached, ready for display or a return to the water.
