Stamped with a distinct scale pattern and the "ROOSTER TAIL 4" branding, the gold willow leaf blade on this Yakima Bait spinner is a hallmark of a design dating back to 1950s Wisconsin. Weighing 1/4oz (8g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), this specimen (Product Code: 5753) pairs its metallic flash with a matte black body and a vibrant orange and yellow feathered hackle tail. Howard Worden’s creation was engineered to provide a gentle splashdown, making it a staple for anglers targeting trout in pressured streams. The blade is designed to rotate widely, creating a specific sound profile in the water. A 4/5 condition rating reflects its well-preserved state, showing just enough history to tell a story without compromising structural integrity. The yellow thread tie at the tail remains tight, securing the feathers that add lifelike presence behind the weighted black body.
