Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 4, 1/4oz gold/bordeaux spinning lure #21383

The hammered gold finish on the size 4 blade features a distinctive scale pattern that catches light across its classic willow leaf profile. Coming from the Yakima Bait workshops under product code 21383, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 4 represents a design legacy tracing back to Howard Worden's 1950s innovations. Weighing 1/4oz (8g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure pairs a bordeaux-colored weighted body with the signature hackle tail that gives the model its name. The feathered treble hook is designed for a soft landing on the water's surface, a technical detail meant to avoid spooking fish in shallow or clear streams. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and the original fiber density in the tail. The stamped blade remains clear, identifying the size and brand synonymous with American trout and panfish angling.
