Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 2/5oz Gold spinning lure #7771

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), though the vintage carding lists it at 3/8 oz (10.77 g), this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail is a substantial in-line spinner for targeting larger game fish. The polished gold willow leaf blade is paired with a matching gold body and a dense, feathered tail in natural earth tones. Yakima Bait produces these lures with a focus on simple, effective hardware, featuring a sharp treble hook concealed within the hackle. This specimen, identified by product code 214 GH, measures approximately 3 1/4" (8 cm) and is unused, preserved in its original packaging. The back of the card provides detailed recommendations for casting and trolling, suggesting this size is particularly suited for bass, pike, and salmon.
