Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail Propellor, 1/32oz Gold spinning lure #6748

Tipping the scales at a mere 1/32 oz (0.9 g), this ultra-light specimen exemplifies the finesse approach Yakima Bait perfected with the Worden’s Rooster Tail series. Mounted on a 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) frame, the lure features a polished gold willow-leaf blade paired with a hand-tied chartreuse hackle tail, a combination noted under product code 6748. This specific size was originally developed for fly rod casting or ultra-light spinning setups, designed for a gentle entry into the water when targeting wary trout or panfish. The construction centers on an in-line spinner design where the blade rotates around a central axis, complemented by the pulsating natural fibers of the tail. This item is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage bubble packaging, which has protected the gold finish and the hackle from age. The cardboard backer retains the iconic red, white, and blue branding with the 202 series marking visible on the card's header.
