I've heard about something like that being used on loch lomond for trawling. The adjustable fins were something added after purchase by the angler, but not sure if this is the same thing or if they were made like that  |

I knew an elderly fisherman who used minnows made with adjustable fins who moved the fins depending on what side of the river he was fishing from,he reckoned that by adjusting the fins, stopped the minnow coming in to the bank too quickly.

They not only allow you to switch from left to right spin but you can adjust the depth they go by adjusting the fin angle.
Never seen them before

These baits were called "Reversible Devons" and first appeared on the market in the late 18 hundreds.They were invented predominatly to try and alleviate the line "Kink" problems of the day and of course as has already been stated could swim at various depths, angles,etc.I dont know how old yours is Jamescasey,early 60s maybe.Its in great nick and iv never seen one so Ta for posting the picture.
