Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/4oz Gold / Brown spinning lure #8520

Gold-plated components and a hand-tied brown feathered tail define this 1/4 oz (7 g) Yakima Bait spinner, a design that has remained virtually unchanged for decades. Listed as product code 8520 and designated 212 GH on the card, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) lure is in unused condition, still housed in its original vintage packaging. The Yakima Bait Company produced these in Granger, Washington, emphasizing the versatility of the willow leaf blade for targeting trout, bass, and panfish. Unlike standard spinners, the hackle tail on this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail provides a lifelike profile that masks the trailing treble hook. The original carding remains crisp, featuring the distinct red and yellow Worden's branding and a detailed guide on the back for effective spin-casting and trolling depths.
