Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this spinner features the iconic willow-leaf blade design that has defined the brand since Howard Worden's early innovations in the 1950s. This specific Yakima Bait specimen, identified by product code 20981, is finished in a nickel/red color pattern with a striking red holographic sticker on the blade face. One side of the blade prominently displays the 'Sonic Rooster Tail' name and logo, while the reverse remains a clean, polished nickel. The 1/4oz (7g) weighted body consists of a lead-colored cone followed by segmented cylindrical beads, leading to a treble hook dressed in thick red feathers. Collectors will appreciate the 5/5 condition, as the red hackle is perfectly intact and the metallic surfaces are bright. The 'Sonic' designation refers to the specific frequency of vibrations produced by the blade's rotation, a design choice intended to trigger strikes from trout and panfish. All hardware remains original, from the line tie to the hook point.
