Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Sonic Rooster Tail, 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #17865

Silver-finished Sonic blades characterize this specific Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, differentiating it from the more common teardrop-shaped variants. Manufactured by Yakima Bait Company under product code 17865, this 3/32 oz (2.4 g) spinner showcases the classic Washington-based craftsmanship that has defined trout fishing since the 1950s. This specimen remains unused, preserved in its original blue-bordered card with the signature yellow branding. The yellow feather hackle tail is remarkably well-preserved, designed to offer a subtle, life-like profile in clear water. Stamped directly onto the metal, the Worden logo on the blade confirms its authenticity as a genuine USA-made piece. With its 3/32 oz (2.4 g) weight, it provides enough mass for accurate casting into tight pockets while maintaining the stealthy approach required for pressured fish.
