    yep that's it inline spinner with a small cricket or waterbug on the end. bream and small bass would tear it up

    IIRC , the "Thing" was an inline wire shaft spinner with a lead keel just behind the blade with a rubber legged spider on the bottom .. Gillchaser

    I think I have one in my fly box. I can't remember the manufacturer. We used to exchange the bug with a hook and cricket. You could drift the river and kill the bream.
