Yakima RTBX.S773 Spinnerbait Review
Our verdict
The Yakima RTBX.S773 Spinnerbait earns a 4.7 star average across 678 reviews, but at $24.17 for a single 1.36 gram trout lure it costs about three times as much as Yakima's own 206 series at $8.99, so the premium rides almost entirely on the Rooster Tail name.

Skip if
Skip it if you fish bass or mixed species water, since this spinner is built and marketed for trout, or if you want to stock a tackle box cheaply, since $24.17 buys only one lure here.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Picture a spring afternoon on a stocked trout stream, light line, small water, fish keyed in on flash and vibration. That is the scenario the Yakima RTBX.S773 Spinnerbait is built for. It carries the Rooster Tail feature name, a design many trout anglers already recognize, in a 1.36 gram metal body finished in multicolor and sold as a single One Size lure for $24.17.
At 4.7 stars across 678 reviews, the rating ties the Yakima 206-FRT for the top score among the spinnerbaits checked here, just ahead of the Strike MK-93G at 4.6 stars. The 678 review count is respectable, though it trails the Strike MK-93G's 1,536 and the Yakima 206-WH's 1,023, so the sample behind that 4.7 average is smaller than its closest rated competitors.
The price is the real story. At $24.17 for one lure, it costs roughly six times the Strike MK-93G's $3.99 and nearly three times the Yakima 206-FRT and 206-WH at $8.99 each, both of which also carry metal or plastic bodies rated 4.7 stars. Bought last month shows 0+ for this listing, the same figure as the 206-FRT, while the 206-WH shows 200+ and the Strike MK-93G shows 400+, a gap worth weighing against the price.
Pros
- Rated 4.7 stars across 678 reviews, tied for the highest score among the spinnerbaits compared here
- Metal construction on a 1.36 gram trout size spinner
- Carries the established Rooster Tail feature name
- In stock and ready to ship
- Multicolor finish gives one lure several color triggers in a single body
Cons
- Priced at $24.17 for a single lure, far above the $3.99 to $8.99 range of the other spinnerbaits listed here
- Bought last month sits at 0+, the same low signal as the Yakima 206-FRT
- Built specifically for trout, not a multi species option like the 206-FRT or 206-WH
- Review count of 678 trails the 1,023 and 1,536 counts backing the cheaper alternatives

Performance notes
A 1.36 gram metal body puts this spinner in light trout tackle territory, small enough for finesse presentations on spinning gear built for panfish or stocked trout rather than bass or saltwater species. Metal construction typically means more casting weight and durability against toothy fish than a lighter synthetic body, though the listing does not detail blade type beyond the multicolor finish. Because it ships as a single One Size piece rather than a multi pack, anglers restock one lure at a time instead of buying several colors or weights together, which matters if you lose lures often to snags or break offs. The Rooster Tail name attached to the feature field signals a familiar spinner style to trout anglers, but at $24.17 the per lure cost changes how disposable it feels next to a $3.99 or $8.99 alternative built along similar lines.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 678 reviews puts this spinner in the same rating tier as the Yakima 206-FRT, both just ahead of the Strike MK-93G's 4.6. The gap shows up in volume and demand instead. The Strike MK-93G backs its 4.6 stars with 1,536 reviews and 400+ bought last month, and the Yakima 206-WH backs 4.7 stars with 1,023 reviews and 200+ bought last month. This listing shows 0+ bought last month, the same flat signal as the 206-FRT. That pattern suggests a smaller but consistently satisfied buyer base rather than a high volume seller, fitting a specialty trout lure priced well above its category peers.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Yakima RTBX.S773 Spinnerbait worth $24.17 for one lure?
At $24.17 it costs far more than the Strike MK-93G ($3.99) or the Yakima 206-FRT and 206-WH ($8.99 each), all rated 4.6 to 4.7 stars. Its own 4.7 star average across 678 reviews supports the quality claim, but price sensitive buyers can find the same rating tier for a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
What species is this spinner designed for?
The listing specifies Trout as the target species, distinguishing it from the Yakima 206-FRT and 206-WH, both listed for Multi Species use. Anglers fishing bass or mixed water may get more versatility from those alternatives at a lower per lure price.
How does the 0+ bought last month figure compare to similar spinners?
It matches the Yakima 206-FRT's 0+ figure but trails the Yakima 206-WH's 200+ and the Strike MK-93G's 400+. Combined with a smaller 678 review count next to the 1,023 and 1,536 review totals of those two competitors, it points to lower recent demand relative to its category.
