George explains how Bluebird Waterfowl is rethinking spinner wings with new shapes, sizes, and colors designed to match changing conditions in the marsh—just like bass fishermen change lures. We cover why wings that float are a game-changer, the importance of motion and sound in finishing ducks, and how hunters can adapt to smarter, late-season birds.
