Stamped directly into the gold willow leaf blade is the legendary 'ROOSTER TAIL' branding alongside its 1/16 oz (1.77 g) weight designation. This Yakima Bait classic, carrying product code 6453, measures a compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and showcases the traditional design Howard Worden pioneered back in the 1950s. The body is finished in a rich brown paint with a distinct white cross-hatched scale pattern that provides visual contrast. At the rear, a generous tuft of brown hackle feathers conceals the treble hook, a signature feathered tail feature intended for a stealthy presentation in pressured trout streams. The gold plating on the blade is clean and bright, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. Every component, from the brass beads to the precisely bent wire frame, reflects the manufacturing standards of its USA origin. The inline spinner configuration relies on the rotation of the willow leaf blade to provide flash and catch the attention of wary fish.
