Other than a plain jig, this lure is the deadliest panfish bait I have ever used and is more productive than the lure that was formerly my favorite, the Beetle Spin. There are times when Fish's little spinner beats a plain jig too. It was back in the late 80s, '87 or so. Dad and I were using willow leaf blades with regular Beetle Spin type bodies. It was and is the tiny willow leaf spinner blade that makes this bait different from all the others.
Fish uses strictly hammered willow leaf blades, in silver and copper.
The hammered effect causes more flash while the blade shape means it produces less vibration and can be fished easier in deeper water. The curly tail bodies, he added, do work well on crappie. Abrell prefers the curly tail over the tube body for bluegill. No matter what body you prefer, if you try it, you will catch fish. That's a pretty outrageous claim, but I have found it to be true, time and again.
