Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 4, 1/4oz gold/nickel/black spinning lure #21574

Stamped with the iconic "ROOSTER TAIL 4" text, the golden-toned willow leaf blade on this specimen features a distinctive scale pattern that catches light across its surface. This Yakima Bait creation, identified by product code 21574, weighs in at 1/4oz (8g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length. The central weighted body is finished in a dark grey scale pattern, a design element by Howard Worden that has remained a favorite among trout and panfish anglers since the 1950s. A hand-tied black feather tail is securely attached to the rear, softening the presentation of the sharp treble hook. Looking at the hardware, the nickel-plated wire and top loop are in excellent shape, contributing to a condition rating of 5/5. The contrast between the bright blade and the dark, textured body makes this specific gold/nickel/black colorway a versatile choice for various water clarities.
