Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, 1/4oz Gold / Orange UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent spinning lure #7182

Glow-in-the-dark properties define the "UV" series of Yakima Bait’s legendary spinners, as seen in this 1/4oz (7g) specimen. Under ultraviolet light, the vibrant orange body and matched hackle feather tail illuminate, providing a distinct visual target for fish in deeper or stained water. This unused lure measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in length and features the classic gold willow leaf blade stamped with the "ROOSTER TAIL" branding and weight designation. Howard Worden’s design, originating in Wisconsin, centers on the wide rotation of that blade and the subtle presence of the feathered trailer. The gold finish on the blade includes a scale pattern for added shimmer, paired with a sharp treble hook ready for service. Labeled as product code 7182, this specific color scheme combines a traditional metallic flash with modern fluorescent visibility. The inline construction and balance make it a staple for anglers targeting trout or panfish in smaller streams. Every component, from the wire form to the weighted body, remains in its original, unused state.
