Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Gold / Brown spinning lure #4426

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.77 g), this classic inline spinner remains a staple for ultra-light presentations. A vibrant gold-toned willow leaf blade is paired with a hand-tied brown hackle tail, characteristic of the 206 BRTR color pattern. This specimen features the Original Yakima Bait branding, a design lineage tracing back to Howard Worden's 1950s innovations in Wisconsin. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in total length, the lure is housed in its original blue and red carded packaging, marked with product code 206 BRTR. The manufacturing origin is noted as Mexico on the reverse side of the card. The condition of this specific piece is unused, with the lure and packaging remaining in factory-fresh form. The willow leaf blade is designed to rotate around the brown-painted body, while the natural hackle feathers provide a distinct silhouette in the water column.
