Little George.
White and black in line spinner with red feathers on the treble hook.
With the exception of the "red feathers" ... that perfectly describes the lure I used to catch White Bass during their annual spawning run in the riffles of the Dix River (the river dammed up to make Herrington Lake), back in the 50's & 60's. That lure was called a "Shyster".
Yeah, the Evans "Shyster" was the original one, and I've probably still got one tucked away in one of my MANY tackle boxes. The original had a O shaped line tie eye, and a few hours of casting it would have the line in my spincast reel looking like a bag of pretzels
Even the late comer, the Rooster Tail, originally had the same O shaped tie eye (& was almost as bad about line twist) .... then they came out with a offset one that worked very well at keeping the bait's body stationary while the blade spun around. And you're right .... seems like everybody & their brothers are making an inline spinner (+/- fashioned after the Shyster).
