Weighing in at 1/4oz (8g), the vibrant orange body of this spinner features dark vertical accents that catch the eye immediately. This Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 4, cataloged as product code 5723, shows off a gold willow leaf blade stamped with a distinct scale pattern and the size 4 mark. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the construction includes the signature hackle feather tail in a natural brown, which Howard Worden originally added to give the lure a lifelike profile when landing in smaller trout streams. The 5/5 condition is excellent, with the gold plating on the blade reflecting clearly and the feathers remaining full. This Yakima Bait design relies on the wide rotation of its blade around the central shaft, a technique that has stayed relevant since its mid-century Wisconsin origins.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
