[#0000FF]The Foxes are proven fish callers...with that noisy rattle bell. But when the fish get closer the colors, flash and other factors can make a difference in whether or not they chomp your offering.
Those "bling beads" are on most of the spinners I make anymore. I have fished identical spinners side by side...one with a red or orange bead and the other without. The beaded ones usually get a noticeably greater strike ratio. My personal theory is that it represents a salmon egg...or similar.
Howsomever, with any lure there is a lot more to it than just the lure itself. Depth, speed, fish activity level, water conditions and other factors all enter into the equation for whether or not you get bit.
Here are a couple of pics of spinners I do best with. Some I make with trebles and others with single hooks. The latter are good for adding a short length of crawler.
