Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz Gold / Brown Trout spinning lure #6372

A vibrant Brown Trout pattern on the body, featuring orange paint with distinct dark spots, immediately catches the eye on this Yakima Bait classic. This specific Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, listed under product code 6372, is an unused specimen that has remained in clean, original condition. Weighing in at a delicate 1/16oz (1.77 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), it represents the smaller, stealthy profile favored by stream anglers. The gold willow leaf blade is designed to rotate widely, generating those signature vibrations that Howard Worden first envisioned back in 1950s Wisconsin. A hand-tied dark hackle tail conceals the hook, providing a naturalistic silhouette as it enters the water with a gentle splashdown. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the blade stamping and the intact finish on the weighted body. This in-line spinner remains a go-to for pressured trout and panfish due to its ability to attract fish where heavier hardware might spook them.
