Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this inline spinner features a distinctive UV-enhanced orange body paired with a gold willow leaf blade. The blade is clearly stamped with the Rooster Tail name and weight, showing the classic fish logo and a textured scale pattern. Its 2 3/4" (7cm) frame is finished with a dense red hackle tail, a design choice pioneered by Howard Worden in Wisconsin to provide a life-like profile while shielding the treble hook. Identified by product code 17161, the lure is constructed on a through-wire frame typical of Yakima Bait’s production standards. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean finish on both the painted body and the metallic blade. The Gold UV coloration is specifically intended for low-light visibility, utilizing a reflective coating that glows under specific light conditions to assist anglers in pressured trout waters.
