Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail UV, 1/4oz Fluorescent Orange UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent spinning lure #8819

Fluorescent orange UV glow finish coats the weighted body of this unused Yakima Bait classic, providing high visibility in various water conditions. Stamped into the gold willow leaf blade is the 'ROOSTER TAIL 1/4' identifier, set against a detailed scale pattern designed to catch light during the retrieve. This 1/4oz (7g) model features a hand-tied orange feathered tail, a hallmark of Howard Worden's original Wisconsin design from the 1950s that adds a soft, pulsing profile. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure is identified by product code 8819 and remains in unused condition. The gold-finished blade is secured with a brass clevis to a sturdy wire frame, leading back to a sharp treble hook concealed within the hackle. This specific UV-reactive color variant is a go-to for anglers needing extra visibility when targeting pressured trout or fishing in stained water.
