I have a tackle box full of Ford Fenders, and yes, they work great. However, a few years ago, I switched to Jack Lloyds. The term Jack Lloyd has morphed into a generic jackloyds or jackaloyds just as Kleenex has become a generic term. But the original Jack Lloyd is still available. I buy them at Turner's on State Street in Boise. I use the 2-blade in silver. The reason I switched is because, one, they work great, and two, they have significantly less drag than the FF's. The rudder on them is sufficient to prevent spinning and thus line twist. I have had a problem with the small rudders on the kokanee trolls, and have gone to placing a small weight to the hole in the rudder--found on many brands--and thus keeping the rudder in a vertical position.
