Stamped with a distinct scale pattern and the legend 'ROOSTER TAIL 4', the brass willow-leaf blade on this spinner is a testament to Howard Worden's original 1950s design. This 1/4 oz (8g) specimen, carrying Product Code 20989, pairs a textured brown body featuring a honeycomb motif with a matching hand-tied pulsating hackle tail. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure is built for precision casting in moving water, where the gold and brown color profile excels at mimicking natural forage. The hardware is in excellent shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5, with the gold-tone finish on the blade remaining bright and the treble hook securely seated within the brown feathers. Originally developed in Wisconsin, the specific geometry of the elongated blade is engineered for high-rotation performance even in heavy currents.
