Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Gold / Brown Trout spinning lure #6212

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.77 g), the gold willow leaf blade on this spinner is paired with a body sporting a classic Brown Trout pattern. Designated by product code 206 BRTR, this Original Rooster Tail by Yakima Bait exemplifies the finesse design Howard Worden introduced to the angling world in the 1950s. The 2" (5 cm) profile is anchored by a hand-tied feathered tail, which adds a natural, lifelike texture to the metal hardware. As a specimen in unused condition (rating 6), it remains in its original factory packaging, preserving the integrity of the finish and the sharpness of the treble hook. Often favored for its ability to produce significant vibration even at slow retrieval speeds, this Mexico-made spinner remains a staple for those targeting wary fish in clear water. The combination of the metallic flash and the subtle hackle makes it a versatile tool for any light-tackle enthusiast.
