Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/16oz White spinning lure #6579

White paint covers the entirety of the willow leaf blade and weighted body of this 1/16 oz (1.77 g) ultra-light inline spinner. The blade is stamped with the Worden’s Rooster Tail name and fish logo, a design element Howard Worden pioneered in the 1950s to provide a distinct flash in the water. Measuring 2 inches (5 cm) in total length, the specimen is finished with a white hackle tail that conceals a sharp treble hook. This specific lure, identified by product code 6579, remains unused and is preserved in its original blue and red carded packaging, earning a condition rating of 6. The Yakima Bait construction utilizes a traditional wire-through assembly that allows the blade to rotate freely around the central axis. The hackle tail provides a soft profile and remains in its original factory state.
