Museum Archive: Vintage Yakima Bait Worden's Sonic Rooster Tail, 1/2oz silver black mylar spinning lure #21062

A hefty 1/2 oz (14 g) weight makes this particular Worden's Sonic Rooster Tail a substantial choice for reaching deeper water columns. The silver-finished blade features a textured silver black mylar insert designed to reflect light with a holographic effect. Stamped directly on the blade face are the model name and weight, identifying its specific place in the Yakima Bait lineup. Unlike the traditional Rooster Tail, this Sonic variant uses a blade mounted directly onto the shaft rather than using a clevis, a design choice intended for immediate rotation upon retrieval. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this USA-made lure carries the product code 21062. The body consists of several weighted metal segments that provide essential ballast for long-distance casting. A sharp treble hook is dressed with hand-tied black hackle feathers. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the silver plating remaining bright and the wire form perfectly straight.
