Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, 3/16oz Chartreuse Dalmatiоn spinning lure #17230

Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.7g), this Yakima Bait spinner features a vibrant Chartreuse Dalmation finish consisting of black spots over a bright neon body. This Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, identified by product code 17230, measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and is an unused specimen. The design incorporates a gold willow leaf blade intended to rotate widely around the shaft, creating a distinct vibration in the water. True to the legacy started by Howard Worden in 1950s Wisconsin, this Mexican-manufactured lure includes the signature hand-tied hackle feather tail in a matching chartreuse hue. The UV-reactive properties of the paint are designed for increased visibility in varying light conditions. The hardware remains bright, and the feather dressing is securely bound to the treble hook, all preserved within the original retail packaging.
