Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 3/64oz spinning lure #6747

A vibrant chartreuse feathered tail provides a soft contrast to the gold-toned willow leaf blade on this Yakima Bait specimen. Weighing 3/64 oz (1.18 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, product code 6747, is a classic representative of Howard Worden's mid-century designs. The weighted lead body features a dotted pattern over a light green base, a finish often selected for clear water conditions. This specimen is unused, still attached to its original carded packaging which displays the brand's 1950s heritage and size recommendations for various fish species. The construction includes a genuine hackle feather tail that hides the treble hook and a willow leaf blade mounted on a clevis for consistent rotation. The wire form and hardware remain in factory condition.
