Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 5, 2/5oz Gold / Chartreuse spinning lure #2364

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail 5 showcases the classic Yakima Bait design in a vibrant Gold / Chartreuse color scheme. This specific specimen carries the product code 2364 and features a hammered-texture gold willow leaf blade paired with a bright chartreuse hackle tail. Developed by Howard Worden, the Rooster Tail design is characterized by the unique flash of its rotating blade and the pulsating motion of the hand-tied hackle. The lure remains in its original vintage cardboard and plastic blister pack, showing it is unused and in condition 6. According to the size recommendations on the reverse of the packaging, this heavier weight class is suitable for casting for steelhead, salmon, or large trout. A small 'Y' logo is visible on the gold blade, identifying its Yakima Bait Company lineage. The total length of this spinner is 3 1/4" (8 cm).
