To me, the rooster tail is the gold standard of in-line spinners. On most days, they just seem to work the best.
There are times when the blue fox spinners really perform well though. When I spin fished more I would carry both (plus a few little cleo and super-duper spoons), and I would switch up until I found what was working the best on that day.
The spinner profile on the blue fox is a little different from the rooster tail. It could be a "match the hatch" issue depending on the size and type of baitfish the larger fish happen to be eating at the time.
One huge advantage of the blue fox spinners is that they don't twist line as badly due to the way they're made.
