Sonic Rooster Tail 1/4oz - FLM

Worden’s Sonic Rooster Tail 1/4 oz Inline Spinner

The Worden’s Sonic Rooster Tail in the 1/4 oz size is an enhanced version of the classic Rooster Tail, featuring a specially tuned, high-pitched sonic blade that produces a louder, higher-frequency vibration and sound wave compared to standard models. This added sonic signature travels farther through the water, making it exceptionally effective at attracting fish from greater distances or in deeper, murkier, or current-heavy conditions.

At 1/4 oz (size 6 blade, single treble hook, approximately 2.5–3" overall length), it bridges ultralight and medium spinning gear (6–12 lb test line) and excels in rivers, streams, larger ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. The weighted brass body casts accurately and allows a controlled sink rate, while the sonic blade (available in gold, silver, or painted finishes) generates intense thump, flash, and acoustic attraction even on slow retrieves, pauses, or when jigged.

The pulsating hackle tail adds lifelike movement and extra visual appeal, triggering reaction strikes from trout (rainbow, brown, brook), smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, steelhead, salmon, and more. Popular color variants include chrome/gold blade with white or chartreuse tail, black, firetiger, perch, and fluorescent patterns—letting you match forage or adjust for water clarity and light conditions.

The premium treble hook ensures solid hooksets on aggressive hits, and the durable construction stands up to repeated use and toothy fish.

Packaged as a single lure (retail ~$4.50–$6), the Sonic Rooster Tail is a go-to upgrade when standard spinners aren’t producing in tougher conditions or when you need maximum attraction in open water.

Backed by Yakima Bait Company’s decades of proven design excellence and the legendary reputation of the Rooster Tail series as one of the most versatile multi-species lures ever made.
