Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail Glow, 1/8oz White Glow (Glow in Dark) / Green spinning lure #11098

A phosphorescent finish defines the body and blade of this classic in-line spinner, making it a standout choice for low-light or deep-water conditions. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g), the specimen features a willow leaf blade paired with a tapered body in a White Glow and Green color scheme. Yakima Bait’s construction on this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail (Product Code 11098) utilizes a brass clevis and spacer bead to ensure the blade rotates smoothly around the wire shaft. The luminescent properties provide a distinct visual target in murky water, while the bronze-finished treble hook remains sharp and reliable. Originally developed by Howard Worden in Wisconsin, these lures have been a fixture in American angling since the 1950s, prized for their ability to entice pressured fish with a subtle entry into the water. This particular lure is in superb condition, rated 5/5, showing a clean, bright glow surface and crisp lines from its USA manufacturing.
