Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, 2/5oz Gold / Red spinning lure #7772

Gold willow leaf blades provide the primary visual flash on this 3 1/4" (8 cm) in-line spinner. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the construction features a vibrant red and orange striped body that reacts with a distinct glow when exposed to UV light. The tail is carefully dressed with natural hackle feathers, a hallmark of the Worden’s design used to mask the treble hook. Carrying the product code 7772, this specific Yakima Bait specimen is unused, preserved in its original vintage-style 'The Original' packaging. The contrast between the metallic gold blade and the bright body highlights the attention to visibility Howard Worden prioritized when developing these lures. The feathered tail adds a soft silhouette to the rear of the lure without impeding the rotation of the clevis-mounted blade.
