Fluorescent orange and deep red accents dominate the visual profile of this 1/16 oz (1.77g) specimen. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the lure features the iconic willow leaf blade that Howard Worden first popularized in Wisconsin back in the 1950s to create a distinct vibration profile. The black hackle feather tail is securely tied, a hallmark of Yakima Bait construction that provides a subtle presence behind the spinner. This particular example, identified by product code 6449, is in unused condition (5/5), with the gold-finished blade and paint looking exceptionally crisp. Under UV light, the body and blade markings glow intensely, a technical feature designed to provide visibility in stained water or during low-light transitions. The willow leaf blade is engineered to rotate widely around the central shaft, staying true to the original design that has made the Rooster Tail a staple for trout anglers for over half a century.
