Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, 1/16oz Gold / Orange UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent spinning lure #6407

At a precise weight of 1/16oz (1.77g), the small footprint of this Yakima Bait creation makes it an excellent choice for light tackle setups. The gold willow leaf blade is stamped with the "ROOSTER TAIL 1/16" mark and features a distinctive orange and white flake pattern that reacts strikingly under ultraviolet light. This Orange UV Glow finish extends to the body, adding a modern technical layer to Howard Worden's classic design. A hand-tied vibrant orange hackle feather tail covers the sharp treble hook, extending the total profile to 1 3/4" (4.5cm). Since its origins in the 1950s, the in-line spinner construction has remained a staple for trout and panfish. This specimen, identified by product code 6407, remains unused and retains its original vibrant coloration and factory sheen. The wire assembly is straight, and the gold plating on the blade provides a bright flash even in low-light conditions.
