Silver and yellow tones characterize the appearance of this 2/5 oz (12 g) specimen, identified by product code 11714. The silver willow leaf blade is stamped with the 'ROOSTER TAIL' identifier and a size '5' mark, which rests against a yellow body featuring a distinct scale pattern. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this Yakima Bait spinner includes the iconic yellow hackle feather tail developed by Howard Worden in Wisconsin. The condition is exceptional, appearing clean and well-maintained with a rating of 5/5. Its willow leaf blade rotates widely around the wire frame to produce significant vibrations during the retrieve. A sharp treble hook is tucked within the feathered tail, maintaining the profile that has been favored by trout anglers since the 1950s.
