Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 3/32oz Rainbow Perch spinning lure #7130

A vibrant Rainbow Perch pattern adorns the lead body of this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, creating a striking contrast against the clean white underside of the willow leaf blade. This specific specimen, carrying the product code 7130, measures a compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and tips the scales at 3/32 oz (2.6 g). The design features a signature hackle feather tail in a mix of pink and dark green, a characteristic Howard Worden introduced back in the 1950s to provide a specific profile in the water. The willow leaf blade is designed to rotate widely, a technical trait that has made these in-line spinners a staple for trout anglers fishing pressured streams. On the front, the blade shows a detailed scaled pattern with green, pink, and black tiger stripes. Finding one in such pristine state is a treat for the collection; the lure is unused and remains in top-tier condition. The hardware is secured by a dark green thread wrap at the base of the feathers, maintaining the traditional hand-tied look Yakima Bait is known for.
